The proof of the validity of a Manifestation of God is the penetration and potency of His Word, the cultivation of heavenly attributes in the hearts and lives of His followers and the bestowal of divine education upon the world of humanity. This is absolute proof. The world is a school in which there must be Teachers of the Word of God. The evidence of the ability of these Teachers is efficient education of the graduating classes. (pup 341) (119:1) The truth that proof of the divinity of the teachings can be known directly through practicing them is also expressed in these words of Christ: (119:2) "My doctrine is not Mine, but His how sent Me. If anyone wants to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, `whether' it is from God or whether I speak on My own `authority'." (john 7:17)
(119:3)
