The Foundations of Faith and Understanding

Faith is nurtured through learning, both by study and spiritual insight. This concept emphasizes the significance of understanding core truths of the gospel, especially when facing criticisms or doubts. A foundational principle is recognizing that human understanding is limited and that we cannot fully grasp all that God knows or why He acts as He does. By internalizing this humility, individuals can better navigate their faith and the complexities surrounding religious beliefs.
