The following is from Neal A. Maxwell's Education Week speech titled, "The Inexhaustible Gospel".
1. gaining knowledge and becoming more Christlike “are two aspects of a single process.”
2. behaving and knowing are inseparably linked
3. the gospel is inexhaustible because there is not only so much to know, but also so much to become!
4. The vital truths are not merely accumulated in the mind but are expressed in life as well
5. developing our capacity for cognition as well as application
6. Even genius without goodness can be dangerous
7. Christlike life that involves both mind and behavior
8. Such are not Jesus’ ways, for he asks that perception and implementation be part of the same spiritual process
9. Knowledge, if possessed for its own sake and unapplied, leaves one’s life unadorned
10. a form of knowing that combines cognition as well as implementation
11. These revealed truths carry behavioral as well as intellectual responsibilities
12. In gospel wisdom, knowing and behaving are irrevocably linked!
13. for he is perfect in knowing and perfect in doing
14. Of him, I testify! Of his standard of truth and knowledge and behavior, I testify!
The gospel is inexhaustible because there is not only so much for us to know, but there is also so much for us to become.
