Some stuff in Christ's gospel is nice to know, and some is fundamental. It is the fundamental stuff that we bear testimony of first. For example, it's nice to have the Word of Wisdom, but before there's any reason to live it, a person must accept the fundamentals that it is built on, like the fact that Joseph Smith is a prophet of the Lord.
Some fundamentals include the fact that God lives, and that Jesus does too. They love us and want us to return to heaven. Joseph Smith is one of their prophets, and the Book of Mormon's truthfulness is the evidence of that. Most important in a testimony is the idea that Jesus Christ completed the Atonement, which enables us to repent of any sins and to change our nature for the better.
That is my testimony. In the coming weeks I'll explain what having that testimony does for me. Till then, be safe!
