“I have read and passed over the seemingly unremarkable
expression ‘certain women’ numerous times before, but recently as I pondered
more carefully, those words seemed to jump off the page. Consider these
synonyms of one meaning of the word certain as connected to faithful, certain
women: convinced, positive, confident, firm, definite, assured, and dependable.
As I pondered those powerful descriptors, I remembered two of those New
Testament certain women who bore positive, confident, firm, assured testimonies
of the Savior. Though they, like us, were imperfect women, their witness is
inspiring. Remember the unnamed woman at the well who invited others to come
and see what she had learned of the Savior? She bore her certain witness in the
form of a question: ‘Is not this the Christ?’ Her testimony and invitation were
so compelling that many believed on him.” - Linda K. Burton, Relief Society
