LINE UPON LINE<\/h3>\n

\u201cAs a boy\u00a0\u2026\u00a0, I would frequently go out and ask the Lord to show me some marvelous thing, in order that I might receive a testimony. But the Lord withheld marvels from me, and showed me the truth, line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little, until he made me to know the truth from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, and until doubt and fear had been absolutely purged from me. \u2026 By the whisperings of the still small voice of the Spirit of the living God, he gave to me the testimony I possess. And by this principle and power he will give to all the children of men a knowledge of the truth that will stay with them, and it will make them to know the truth, as God knows it, and to do the will of the Father as Christ does it\u201d (Gospel Doctrine, 5th ed. [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book Co., 1939], p.\u00a07).<\/p>\n

2 Nephi 28:30<\/strong> \u00a0“For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon\u00a0precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn\u00a0<\/span>wisdom; for unto him that\u00a0receiveth\u00a0I will give\u00a0more; and from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even that which they have<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Doctrine and Covenants 98:12<\/strong>\u00a0“For he will give unto the faithful line upon line, precept upon precept; and I will try you and prove you herewith.<\/em>”<\/p>\n
