Bear Your Testimony Often
Your simple, sincere witness of spiritual truth can have a powerful influence on those you teach. A testimony is most powerful when it is direct and heartfelt. It need not be eloquent or lengthy and need not begin with “I’d like to bear my testimony.” Bear testimony often of the specific principles you are teaching. President Joseph F. Smith taught that “such a testimony is as a seal attesting the genuineness” of the principle.1
Questions to ponder. What opportunities do I have to bear my testimony while teaching—both in my class and in my home? How can I better use these opportunities?
Scriptural example. What do I learn from the way Alma bore his testimony, as recorded in Alma 5:45–48; 36:3–4?
