Saturday, May 31

Keep walking by spirit and you will carry out no fleshly desire at all.—Gal. 5:16.

 

Some who are ready for dedication and baptism still hold back. They may wonder, ‘What if afterward I commit a serious sin and get disfellowshipped?’ If you have that fear, be assured that Jehovah will give you everything you need “to walk worthily of [him] in order to please him fully.” (Col. 1:10) He will also give you the strength to do what is right. He has already proved that he can do that by how he has dealt with many others. (1 Cor. 10:13) That is one reason why relatively few people are expelled from the Christian congregation. Jehovah equips his people to remain faithful. Every imperfect human is tempted to do wrong things. (Jas. 1:14) However, whether you act on temptation is a choice—your choice. The fact is that ultimately you are the one who is in control of how you will live. Though some people may make claims to the contrary, you can learn to control your impulses. w24.03 5 ¶11-12

You can't walk with God while holding hands with the Devil.
