Become imitators of God, as beloved children.—Eph. 5:1.

 

As Jehovah’s “beloved children,” we do our best to imitate him. We imitate his qualities by being loving, kind, and forgiving in our dealings with others. When those who do not know God see our fine conduct, they may be motivated to learn more about him. (1 Pet. 2:12) Christian parents have good reason to imitate Jehovah in the way they treat their children. When they do, their children may want to form their own friendship with our loving Father. We are proud of our heavenly Father, Jehovah, and want others to come to know him. In our heart, we all feel as did King David, who wrote: “I will boast in Jehovah.” (Ps. 34:2) What, though, if we are timid? How can we become bold? We grow bold when we focus on how happy we can make Jehovah and how much others will benefit from learning about him. Jehovah will give us the courage we need. He helped our first-century brothers to become bold, and he will help us too.—1 Thess. 2:2. w20.02 11 ¶12-13

[Elnathan]

We imitate Jehovah

- with our fine conduct that glorify God 

- In our dealings with others including the way we treat our children 

- when we boast in Jehovah, by helping others to come to know him & enjoy the benefits of learning & imitating Him

- When we Rely on Jehovah to give us the courage we need to imitate Him.

There are so many ways we can imitate our heavenly father's example. We all select what is important and dear to our heart and apply it in our life. In this way we praise Jah in our own unique ways.

We maintain fine conduct in imitation of Jehovahs loving qualities,not only because it’s expected of us ,1 Peter 2:12,and even criticized by many,it’s because of our loving father’s name.

And because of our conduct some have come to realize the “REASON “behind our good conduct “and have a change of heart,no doubt even in Russia ! !!
