What is a testimony, and how can I get one?

By Elder David A. Bednar

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Adapted from “Converted unto the Lord,” Ensign, Nov. 2012, 106–109.

The members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles are special witnesses of Jesus Christ.

A testimony is spiritual knowledge of truth that comes from the Holy Ghost.

To get a testimony …

Ask, seek, and knock

With a sincere heart,

With real intent,

With faith in the Savior.

Knowing that Heavenly Father loves us.

Knowing that Jesus Christ is our Savior.

Knowing that the gospel has been restored.
