Texas Entered Apprentice (EA) Practice Test

Belief in a higher power guides how a Freemason states who they trust. Freemasonry requires a belief in a Supreme Being as the source of truth and moral guidance. When asked who you trust, the proper response is to place that trust in God (often framed as the Great Architect of the Universe). This shows that a Mason’s conduct rests on divine guidance rather than on any human institution or symbolic light. The other options don’t fit because trusting the Master would bind you to a person rather than to a higher principle, trusting Freemasonry would place faith in the organization itself rather than in a higher power, and trusting the light serves as a symbolic idea of knowledge rather than the personal commitment the ritual calls for.
