Mosiah 27 – 28
Alma the elder prayed that his son would come to a knowledge of the truth. Undoubtedly he had been teaching the truth to his son just as he had taught it to everyone else but knowing the truth is more than being taught the truth. It requires that the truth be planted in the heart and take root and the teacher can’t do that for the student. The student must show the truth to take root and be confirmed by the witness of the Spirit. So long as the student rejects the spirit of truth the truth will be unable to take root in his heart.
