Sunday, December 15

His delight is in the law of Jehovah, and he reads His law in an undertone day and night.—Ps. 1:2.

 

We know that it is not enough simply to study the truth. To benefit fully, we must live the truth, that is, apply what we learn in our life. Only then will the truth bring us real happiness. (Jas. 1:25) How can we make sure that we are living the truth? One brother suggests making a personal examination to identify areas where we are doing well and areas where we want to make improvement. The apostle Paul put it this way: “To the extent we have made progress, let us go on walking orderly in this same course.” (Phil. 3:16) Just think of the benefits that come from doing our best to “go on walking in the truth”! Not only do we improve the quality of our own life but we also bring joy to Jehovah and to our fellow believers. (Prov. 27:11; 3 John 4) Really, could we have any greater reasons to love the truth and to live the truth? w22.08 18-19 ¶16-18

Walking in the truth allows us to set a good example for our family, friends, and neighbors, encouraging others to do the same (Matthew 5:16).

When we walk in the truth, we contribute to the unity and love within the congregation (Colossians 3:14).
