Sunday, August 31
Become imitators of God, as beloved children, and go on walking in love, just as the Christ also loved you and delivered himself up for you as an offering
and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling odor.—Eph. 5:1, 2.
Think of the faith and trust one has in a loving father. If a skeptic questioned whether your father would really help you in a crisis, you might not be able to convince him that your father is trustworthy. If through experience you have accumulated evidence of your father’s good character, however, you can be confident that he will not let you down. Similarly, coming to know Jehovah by studying the Scriptures, contemplating creation, and experiencing his help in answer to our prayers moves us to trust in him. It makes us want to learn ever more about him and to praise him forever out of unselfish love and devotion. That is the most noble purpose that anyone can pursue. w07 6/15 1:15 |
