“Our lives can become a real-life laboratory in which we can test principles for truth.”

A couple of other scriptures I reference whenever I’m ‘testing’ something to see if it’s truth are these:

Doctrine and Covenants 50:23-24 (And that which doth not edify is not of God, and is darkness.
That which is of God is light; and he that receiveth light, and continueth in God, receiveth more light; and that light groweth brighter and brighter until the perfect day.)

Moroni 7:11-19 (highlight: But behold, that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is inspired of God.

Fabulous post!
