How do we know truth?

How do we know truth? The world measures truth by observable means. If something can’t be seen or objectively proven it is not accepted as truth. There is another way. By the Holy Ghost. What is the Holy Ghost? The Holy Ghost is the third member of the godhead. God is our father, Jesus Christ is our savior, and the Holy Ghost is our teacher. It teaches us “the truth of all things(John 14:26)”. How does it teach us truth? Through our “mind and heart ” or our thoughts and feelings. What feelings does it give us? “love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, and faith (Gal 5:22)”. To the world this may seem like a subjective method of determining truth but it does not make it any less valid a means of determining truth. This is the way god communicates to us. “His communication to our spirit carries far more certainty than any communication we can receive through our natural senses.” If you want to know if something is true, pray and the Holy Ghost will tell you.
