There is no excuse for doubt or skepticism. God has made ample provision to establish the faith of all men, if they will decide from the weight of evidence. But if they wait to have every seeming objection removed before they believe, they will never be settled, rooted, and grounded in the truth. God will never remove all seeming difficulties from our path. Those who wish to doubt may find opportunity; those who wish to believe will find plenty of evidence upon which to base their faith.

[Der gives ingen undskyldning for tvivl eller vantro. Gud har truffet rigelige foranstaltninger til troens befæstelse hos alle mennesker, dersom de vil (584) lade bevisernes, vægt være det afgørende. Men venter de med at tro, indtil enhver tilsyneladende indvending er fjernet, vil de aldrig blive grundfæstede og rodfæstede i sandheden. Gud vil aldrig fjerne enhver tilsyneladende vanskelighed på vor sti. De, der ønsker at tvivle, vil finde anledning dertil; de, der ønsker at tro, vil finde nok af synlige beviser at grunde deres tro på.
