Ephesians 4:13
"That process requires far more than acquiring knowledge. It is not even enough to be convinced of the gospel; we must act so that we are converted by it. In contrast to other preaching, which teaches us to know something, the gospel of Jesus Christ challenges us to become something." - Elder Oaks
I love the comparison of being convinced vs being converted. It's easy enough to believe it's true. That's not the challenge. It has to be something that changes you to really be of use.
Alma 19:33
Mosiah 5:2
“The Spirit of God speaking to the spirit of man has power to impart truth with greater effect and understanding than the truth can be imparted by personal contact even with heavenly beings. Through the Holy Ghost the truth is woven into the very fibre and sinews of the body so that it cannot be forgotten.”
- Joseph Fielding Smith
