Echos of other Testimony

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland teaches that when we bear our testimony to others, they "are not only hearing our testimony of Christ, but they are hearing echos of other earlier testimonies, including their own testimony of Him," for they were among the valiant who chose Christ and chose to follow Him over Satan in the premortal life. Elder Holland says, "When they hear others bear that witness of [Christ's] saving mission, it has a familiar feeling; it brings an echo of truth they themselves already know." Futhermore, when you bear testimony of Christ's mission, "you invoke the power of God the Father and the Holy Ghost."
