Tuesday, November 8

Continue in the things that you learned and were persuaded to believe.—2 Tim. 3:14.

 

Jesus said that his disciples would be identified by their love for one another. (John 13:34, 35) But more is needed if we are to have strong faith. Our faith has to be based on more than just the Christlike love of God’s people. Why? Suppose a fellow believer—even an elder or a pioneer—commits a serious sin. Or what if a brother or a sister hurts you in some way? Or perhaps someone becomes an apostate, asserting that we do not have the truth. If such things happen, will you be stumbled and stop serving Jehovah? The lesson is this: If you were to build your faith in God purely on the way that other people act instead of on your relationship with Jehovah himself, your faith would not be solid. In your house of faith, you should use not only such soft materials as feelings and emotions but also hard facts and solid logic. You need to prove to yourself that the Bible contains the truth about Jehovah.—Rom. 12:2. w20.07 8 ¶2-3
