Discipline . . . is painful.—Heb. 12:11. In saying so, Paul was not minimizing the importance or value of discipline, for he continued: “Yet afterward, it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” If we love Jehovah, we must guard against becoming complacent or resentful of his counsel. In today’s me-first, self-centered generation, it is not easy to talk about counsel and discipline, let alone to accept such. Even those who seem to accept counsel or discipline often do so begrudgingly. Christians, though, are advised to “stop being molded by this system of things.” We are to perceive and follow the “perfect will of God.” (Rom. 12:2) Through his organization, Jehovah gives us timely counsel about many areas of life—our conduct with the opposite sex, our associations, and our recreation. By willingly accepting and applying such direction, we show that we are grateful and that we truly love Jehovah from the heart.—John 14:31; Rom. 6:17. w15 9/15 5:13, 15 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/6/23

Vean qué clase de amor nos ha dado el Padre (1 Juan 3:1). Aquí el apóstol Juan nos invita a pensar en el gran amor que Jehová nos tiene. Con las palabras “vean qué clase de amor nos ha dado el Padre” estaba animando a los cristianos de su época a que meditaran en las diversas formas en que Jehová había demostrado su cariño. Si nosotros hacemos lo mismo, nos sentiremos más cerca de él y llegaremos a quererlo más. A algunas personas les cuesta creer que Dios pueda querernos. Piensan que solo se encarga de poner normas y de castigar a quienes no las siguen. Como desde niños les han enseñado doctrinas falsas, dicen que Dios es cruel y que no tenemos motivos para amarlo. En el otro extremo están quienes opinan que Dios nunca dejará de querernos, sin importar si lo que hacemos está bien o mal. Nosotros, en cambio, hemos aprendido en la Biblia que la cualidad principal de Jehová es el amor y que nos quiere tanto que ofreció a su Hijo para rescatarnos de la muerte y el pecado (Juan 3:16; 1 Juan 4:8). w15 15/9 4:1, 2 https://wol.jw.org/es/wol/dt/r4/lp-s/2017/6/22

See what sort of love the Father has given us!—1 John 3:1. This statement by the apostle John is truly worthy of our deep and appreciative reflection. With the words “see what sort of love the Father has given us,” John was urging Christians to think about the nature and magnitude of God’s love for them, to consider how God loves them. Comprehending Jehovah’s love in those terms will surely deepen our love for him and strengthen our relationship with him. To some, though, God’s love for people is a foreign concept. To them, God is to be feared and obeyed. Or perhaps because of certain entrenched erroneous teachings, they feel that God is unloving, even unlovable. On the other hand, there are those who believe that God’s love is unconditional and that he loves them regardless of what they do or fail to do. As you studied the Bible, you learned that love is Jehovah’s paramount attribute and that his love moved him to give his Son as a ransom in our behalf.—John 3:16; 1 John 4:8. w15 9/15 4:1, 2 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/6/22

NOT SO EASY TODAY, PREACHING IN NIGERIA, AFRICA.... BUT OUR BROTHERS SO BRAVE AND DILIGENT IN SERVICE FOR JEHOVAH ❤ ON THE WAY WITH OUR GOOD MESSAGE FOR ALL THE HUMANS.... Thank you dear Brothers !

IS THE HUMAN soul immortal ? (Immortal means CANNOT die) What does the Bible answer? "The soul that sinneth, it shall die." Ezekiel 18:4 KJV. Regarding the creation of Adam, the first "human" soul, the Bible states: "Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a "living soul." Genesis 2:7 Notice that Adam WAS a living soul, it was not just something that he had. The Hebrew word "nephesh," translated "soul," means a creature that breathes. When God created the first man Adam, he did not infuse in him an immortal soul, but the life force that is maintained by breathing. When Adam stopped breathing, he was dead. Adam's soul, his entire "self' was dead. He did not go to heaven.... he went to the grave ! So when the "soul" is separated from the life force originally given by God, the soul dies. Genesis 3:19, Ezekiel 18:20. The lies of false religion of the immortality of the soul raises questions to all who have read their Bible carefully. Where do souls go after death? What happens to the souls of the wicked? When Christendom (false Christians) this led them to accept another lie....the teaching of hellfire. Ecclesiastes 3:19, ' Matthew 10:28, Acts 3:23. So now, with an understanding of the above material, we can understand that when JESUS CHRIST DIED, he did not go directly to heaven, he went to the grave, just as the Bible said he did, and he had to await his resurrection back to life by his Father and maker, Jehovah God. Soon after his resurrection, he did ascent to heaven, and he did take on immortality at that time. If he had immortality prior to his death, he would not have needed to be resurrected ! Why can't the liars of false religion understand these basic facts ?? JESUS WAS RAISED UP >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Great, Brother Colin... you're a big example for us all here ?❤️ I appreciate your activity thats very good for a longer life ! Do you want be alive by Armageddon ? maybe YES !

El objetivo de este mandato es amor procedente de un corazón limpio y de una buena conciencia (1 Tim. 1:5). Jehová creó a los seres humanos con la libertad de decidir por sí mismos. Además, les dio una herramienta que, bien usada, les ayudaría a tomar buenas decisiones: la conciencia. ¿Qué es la conciencia? Es una voz interna que nos ayuda a distinguir lo bueno de lo malo. Al dárnosla, Jehová nos ha demostrado que nos quiere y que desea lo mejor para nosotros. Todos los seres humanos tenemos una conciencia (Rom. 2:14, 15). Aunque la mayoría no la escucha y pasa por alto las normas de Dios, hay quienes prefieren hacer lo bueno y odian las cosas malas que pasan en el mundo. Su conciencia los detiene de actuar con maldad y crueldad. ¿Se imagina cómo estarían las cosas si nadie tuviera conciencia? No cabe duda de que le debemos mucho a Dios por habernos dado esta valiosa herramienta. w15 15/9 2:1, 2 https://wol.jw.org/es/wol/dt/r4/lp-s/2017/6/21

The objective of this instruction is love out of a clean heart and out of a good conscience.—1 Tim. 1:5. Jehovah God created humans with free will, that is, the liberty to choose between one option and another. God provided a valuable guide for the first man and woman and their future offspring—the conscience, an inner sense of right and wrong. Used properly, the conscience can help us to do good and to avoid wrongdoing. Our conscience thus is an evidence of God’s love for us and of his desire that humans be united in doing good. Today, humans still have the faculty of conscience. (Rom. 2:14, 15) Though many have strayed far from the Bible’s standards of conduct, we find that some individuals often do what is good and abhor what is bad. The conscience holds many individuals back from committing deeds of extreme wickedness. Imagine how much worse world conditions would be if no one had a conscience! How grateful we can be that God has provided humans with a conscience! w15 9/15 2:1, 2 https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/dt/r1/lp-e/2017/6/21
