Let's Examine the Scriptures Every Day 2021
Friday, October 8, 2021
By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another (John 13:35).
Even if we are not running a Bible course right now, we can contribute to disciple-making in other ways. For example, when someone new comes to the Kingdom Hall, we can welcome them back and make them feel good. In this way we help him to convince himself that love identifies us as true Christians. On the other hand, the answers we give in meetings, even if they are brief, can teach you to express your convictions with sincerity and respect. We can also go out preaching with a new publisher and help him use the Bible to reason with people. By doing this, we teach him to copy the example of Christ (Luke 10: 25-28). Many Christians have important responsibilities to attend to and are therefore very busy. Even so, they take time to lead Bible courses, a work that gives them great happiness. w19.07 17 pars. 11, 13
Why is patience required when conducting Bible courses?
Why is patience required when conducting Bible courses? One reason is that we don't just have to help the student know and love the teachings of the Bible. We must also help him to know and love his Author, Jehovah. And, in addition to teaching him what Jesus asks of his disciples, we need to help him know how to be a true Christian. We must be by his side as he struggles to put biblical principles into practice. Some students manage to change their thinking and habits in a few months, while others need more time.
What do we learn from Raúl's experience?
What happened to a missionary in Peru highlights the benefits of being patient. He recounted: “A Bible student named Raúl had already studied two books. But he still had serious problems in his life. His marriage was a disaster, his language was dirty, and his children had a hard time respecting him. But since he came to meetings regularly, I continued to visit him and his family. More than three years after meeting him, he met the requirements to be baptized. "
What will we discuss in the next article?
Jesus told us to go and make "disciples of people of all nations." To obey this command, many times we have to talk to people who think very differently from us, even those who do not have any religion or do not believe in the existence of God. In the following article, we will discuss how to present the Kingdom message to you.
