“God would indeed be unjust if the gospel were only accessible to an intellectual elite. In His goodness, He has ensured that the truths regarding God are understandable to all His children, whatever their level of education or intellectual faculty” (Gérald Caussé, “Even a Child Can Understand,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2008, 32).

“God judges men according to the use they make of the light which He gives them” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith [2007], 405).

“The Lord loves all of His children. He desires that all have the fulness of His truth and the abundance of His blessings. He knows when they are ready, and He wants us to hear and heed His directions on sharing His gospel. When we do so, those who are prepared will respond to the message of Him who said, ‘My sheep hear my voice … and they follow me’ (John 10:27)” (Dallin H. Oaks, “Sharing the Gospel,” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2001, 9).

“All the minds and spirits that God ever sent into this world are susceptible of enlargement” (Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Joseph Smith, 210).
