Summary

This quote suggests that having faith should not stem from blindly accepting the teachings of the gospel without any justification or reasoning. Instead, it implies that faith requires more than mere belief; it should be based on a deeper understanding and personal conviction. In other words, faith is not just accepting something as true, but rather finding meaning and evidence that supports one's belief in the gospel's teachings. This perspective emphasizes the importance of thoughtful reflection and seeking truth for oneself, rather than simply following blindly.
