“Blessed is He That Believeth… Without Stubbornness of Heart”
There are no blessings to be had in resisting the impressions of the Spirit. Surveys among converts to the Church indicate that the great majority of them knew the message of the Restoration to be true upon first hearing it. It is also generally true that those who respond most readily to the message of the missionaries continue after baptism to grow in the things of the Spirit more rapidly, and sink their spiritual roots deeper, than those who confused intellect and independence of thought with stubbornness of heart.
