Farnsworth has depicted three evidences of the truth "all are alike unto God" (2 Nephi 26:33). The background alludes to temples, a type of building throughout the world where ordinances occur in a variety of languages. The model for the painting is a recently returned missionary, emblematic of the gospel message sent to all nations. And finally, the Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ translated into over 100 different languages is represented.

"This painting combines those evidences that testify to me that God is, indeed, ‘no respecter of persons’ (Doctrine and Covenants 38:16)."
