"All those who sinned under law will be judged by law."
(Rom. 2:12) 
⚖️⚖️⚖️
“Quit being fashioned after this system of things, but be transformed by making your mind over, that you may prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2) 
⚖️⚖️⚖️
Instead of allowing the spirit of the world to shape their thinking, they needed to make their minds over to Christ’s way of thinking. (1 Corinthians 2:16; Philippians 2:5) That principle should influence the day-to-day behavior of all genuine Christians, including us today.
⚖️⚖️⚖️
Consequently, a heart filled with gratitude moves us to serve God with all our strength, means, and abilities. That heartfelt desire also moves us to do our utmost to think, not like the world, but like Christ. And having the mind of Christ affects how we treat others—both fellow believers and nonbelievers. (Galatians 5:25) 
⚖️⚖️⚖️
A case in point: If we think like Christ, we are compelled to resist the urge to retaliate.—1 Peter 2:21-23.

"The law of that spirit which gives life . . . has set you free." (Rom. 8:2)
???
Paul asked who would rescue him from this struggle, and then he said: “Thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Romans 7:24, 25) Then, Paul spoke to anointed Christians, the ones who are “in union with Christ Jesus.” 
???
Jehovah adopts them as sons through his holy spirit. He makes them “joint heirs with Christ.” (Romans 8:14-17) God’s holy spirit and the faith they have in the ransom sacrifice of Jesus help them to win the fight that Paul talked about. So God no longer condemns them for their imperfection. They are set free “from the law of sin and of death.”
???
Why should all of God’s servants want to understand Paul’s words?
???
Even though Paul was talking to anointed Christians, what he said about God’s holy spirit and the ransom sacrifice of Jesus can benefit all of Jehovah’s servants, whether they have the hope to live in heaven or to live on earth. Even though the counsel Paul gave was inspired by God, it is important that all of God’s servants understand and obey what he wrote.

"Let both grow together until the harvest."
????
(Matt. 13:30)
“The Righteous Ones Will Shine as Brightly as the Sun”
“At that time the righteous ones will shine as brightly as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.”—MATT. 13:43.
????
JESUS CHRIST used many illustrations, or parables, to explain different aspects of the Kingdom. He “spoke to the crowds by illustrations. Indeed, without an illustration he would not speak to them.” (Matt. 13:34)
????
In illustrations about sowing the seed of Kingdom truth, Jesus emphasized the role of a person’s heart condition in accepting the message, as well as the role that Jehovah plays in causing spiritual growth. (Mark 4:3-9, 26-29) Jesus also illustrated the outstanding growth of Kingdom interests here on earth even if that growth is not always at first discernible. (Matt. 13:31-33) Additionally, he highlighted that not all who respond to the Kingdom message are necessarily suitable subjects of that Kingdom.—Matt. 13:47-50.

"Preach the word, be at it urgently in favorable season, in troublesome season, reprove, reprimand, exhort, with all long-suffering and art of teaching."
???
(2 Tim. 4:2)
 

"O Lord, I am conscious that a man’s way is not in himself: man has no power of guiding his steps."
(Jer. 10:23)  “The Bible in Basic English.”
 

Comfort for the Brokenhearted
?❤️?
This compassionate God promises: “I reside . . . with the one crushed and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly ones and to revive the heart of the ones being crushed.” (Isaiah 57:15)
?❤️?
“Jehovah is near.” One reference work says that this phrase is “an expressive way of saying that the Lord is attentive and watchful, always ready to help and to save his people.” It is reassuring to know that Jehovah watches over his people. He sees what they are going through in these “critical times,” and he knows their innermost feelings. (2 Timothy 3:1; Acts 17:27)
?❤️?
“Those that are broken at heart.” In some cultures, “a broken heart” has reference to unrequited love. But the psalmist’s words refer to “more general grief and sorrow,” says one scholar. Yes, even faithful worshippers of God may at times experience extreme hardships that break their heart.
?❤️?
“Those who are crushed in spirit.” Discouraged ones may become so low in their own eyes that they momentarily lose all hope. A handbook for Bible translators says that this expression may be rendered “those who have nothing good to look forward to.”
?❤️?
How does Jehovah respond to those who are “broken at heart” and “crushed in spirit”? Does he keep distant from them, feeling that they are unworthy of his love and attention? 
?❤️?
On the contrary! Like a loving parent who holds and comforts a child in distress, Jehovah is near to his worshippers who cry out to him for help. He is eager to comfort and soothe their broken heart and crushed spirit. He can give them the wisdom and strength needed to cope with any trials they may face.
(2 Corinthians 4:7; James 1:5)

.....and also with you. 

seeing every promise come true..... makes me think of the video, ''Not One Word Has Failed''.   Just watched it a couple of days ago....  also reminds me of what else Joshua said.... ''but as for me and my family,  we will serve Jehovah.''   not exactly word-for-word, but the point is clearly made by him.  

@SHARON LEE MOYER
I'm sure we will not believe "our eyes" ? Soon we will see! Keep your faith strong! 
“Stand up straight and lift up your heads, because your deliverance is getting near.”—LUKE 21:28.
???⚔️???

@SHARON LEE MOYER 
In this world of stress and tension we all have so much to deal with. At times we feel unloved or tragedy affects everyone of us in a different way. So comfort for the Scriptures is always important for each of us and always to help and encourage others as we go through these last days. Thank you so much for your thoughts and your care may Jehovah  be with you. 
? ????? ?

you know, Bible Speaks, as much as people might dislike being reminded of things, these are reminders that we can always use, especially for me right now..... this is good to hear.

EARTHQUAKES ?????
Jesus prophesied: “There will be great earthquakes.” (Luke 21:11) Many powerful earthquakes are now expected every year. Since the year 1900, over two million people have died because of earthquakes. And although technology has helped to detect earthquakes earlier than before, many people still die.
? The Bible foretold that during the last days, the world would be full of pain and suffering. But the Bible also says that good things will happen.
? Do you believe that we are living in the last days? Many Bible prophecies about the last days are coming true. Soon Jehovah will decide to stop the preaching of the good news and “the end” will come. (Matthew 24:14)
? What is the end? It is Armageddon, when God will remove all wickedness. Jehovah will use Jesus and his powerful angels to destroy anyone who refuses to obey Him and his Son. (2 Thessalonians 1:6-9) After that, Satan and his demons will not mislead people. And all those who want to obey God and accept his Kingdom will see every promise of God come true.—Revelation 20:1-3; 21:3-5.

Does God Really Care About Me? Learn How He Comforts Us ?
????
God is described in the Bible as “the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort.” (2 Corinthians 1:3) 
????
God, whose name is Jehovah, knows we need comfort. The Bible uses “comfort” in various forms over a hundred times, assuring us that God not only understands what we face but also desires to comfort us. 
????
This knowledge convinces us that even when others do not seem to notice, understand, or care about our plight, Jehovah God does.
????
The fact that Jehovah cares for people as individuals is clearly seen from the Scriptures. “The eyes of Jehovah are in every place,” says the Bible, “keeping watch upon the bad ones and the good ones.” (Proverbs 15:3) 
????
Similarly, at Job 34:21, we read: “His eyes are upon the ways of man, and all his steps he sees.” Jehovah sees what we do—good or bad—and he is aware of our circumstances, so that he can respond in ways he sees fit. 
????
This is confirmed in the words of Hanani the seer, or prophet, to King Asa of Judah: “As regards Jehovah, his eyes are roving about through all the earth to show his strength in behalf of those whose heart is complete toward him.”—2 Chronicles 16:7, 9
????
Jehovah keeps watch over us for another reason. Jesus explains: “No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him.” (John 6:44) Jehovah cares enough to search a person’s heart to see if it is inclined toward him. If it is, he can respond in ways truly amazing.
????
Many people today believe that God takes no interest in human affairs. But as we have seen, the Bible clearly shows that God very much cares for those who demonstrate true faith in him. 
????
Even though life today is often filled with distress, worries, disappointments, and hurt, we need not despair. Jehovah God does care. In fact, he lovingly invites us to turn to him for support. “Throw your burden upon Jehovah himself, and he himself will sustain you,” says the psalmist. “Never will he allow the righteous one to totter.”—Psalm 55:22

WILL YOU BE WITH ME IN PARADISE?
???????
 “Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43).
???????
Jesus used the Greek expression pa·raʹdei·sos when referring to the future earthly Paradise. “He said to him [an evildoer who was being impaled alongside Jesus and who expressed faith in Jesus’ coming kingship]: ‘Truly I tell you today, You will be with me in Paradise.’”—Luke 23:43.
???????
When would Jesus ‘get into his kingdom’ and fulfill his Father’s purpose to make the earth a paradise? 
???????
The book of Revelation, written about 63 years after the statements recorded at Luke 23:42, 43 were made, indicates that these events were still in the future.

ZEPHANIAH 1:14,15 say:The great day of Jehovah is near!It is near and it is approaching very quickly!
 The sound of the day of Jehovah is bitter.There a warrior cries out.                  That day is a day of fury.                                 A day of distress and anguish,                       A day of storm and desolation,                       A day of darkness and gloom,                       A day of clouds and thick gloom.                 So, since all this things will happen this way;
WHAT SHOULD WE DO?                       Chapter 2:3 answer: "Seek Jehovah, all you meek ones of the earth,...... Seek righteousness, seek meekness.Probably you will be concealed on the day of Jehovah's anger."
Since we want to enter into God's new world: May we continue to trust in Jehovah and do what is good. By seeking his righteousness, seeking his meekness.
So that he may let us to enter that new world were sickness, outcry, pain, and dead will be no more!
Thank you!Please, you can also read the Bible online at WWW.JW.ORG.In the photo, me and sister Che Che.From your fellow friend of Jehovah, Brother Kingsley.

"The days of distress [will] come and the years [will] arrive when you will say: “I have no pleasure in them.” "—Eccl. 12:1.

"We who have exercised faith do enter into the rest."—Heb. 4:3
?????
When quoting Genesis 2:2 concerning God’s rest, Paul wrote under inspiration the words. (Heb. 4:4, 6, 9) So the seventh day was ongoing in Paul’s day. 
?????
How much longer was that day of rest to continue? In order to answer that question, we must remember the purpose of the seventh day. Genesis 2:3 explains what it is: “God proceeded to bless the seventh day and make it sacred.” That day was ‘made sacred’—sanctified, or set apart, by Jehovah—in order to bring his purpose to completion. That purpose is for the earth to be inhabited by obedient men and women who will take care of it and all life upon it. (Gen. 1:28) 
?????
It is toward the realization of that purpose that both Jehovah God and Jesus Christ, the “Lord of the sabbath,” have “kept working until now.” (Matt. 12:8; John 5:17)
?????
God’s rest day will continue until his purpose in connection with it has been fully realized at the end of Christ’s Thousand Year Reign. 
 

"The insight of a man certainly slows down his anger." — Prov. 19:11.
????
If a fellow Christian, especially one with privileges in the congregation, is thoughtless or acts in an unchristian way, it can hurt us or make us angry. ‘How can such things occur among Jehovah’s people?’ we might ask. Actually, such things occurred even among anointed Christians in the days of the apostles. (Gal. 2:11- 14; 5:15; Jas. 3:14, 15)
????
How should we respond when we are affected? “I learned to pray for anyone who hurt me,” said one sister. “It always helps.” Jehovah wants his servants on earth to get along. We look forward to living together peacefully and happily forever, and Jehovah is teaching us to do so now. He wants us to cooperate in doing his great work. Therefore, let us resolve problems or simply “pass over” transgression and move ahead together. Instead of drawing away from our brothers when problems arise, we ought to help one another remain among God’s people.— Deut. 33:27.
