Congregation Book Study, June 6-12, 2022, Lesson 07, Answers.

Congregation Bible study (30 mins): lff lesson 07.

1. Why can't we see God?

Jehovah is a spirit that lives in the heavens, a place that we cannot see.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Because as John 4:24 says it is a spirit that lives in heaven, it is not like a person of flesh and blood. He also lives in the heavens in a place that we cannot reach.

Jehovah does not have a body of flesh and bone, he is a spirit that lives in the heavens.

Because as John 4:24 says it is a spirit that lives in heaven, it is not like a person of flesh and blood.

2. What are some qualities of Jehovah?

As it says in the texts cited in this paragraph, there are many qualities of Jehovah, among them are justice, loyalty, affection and mercy, encouragement, etc. He is a joyful God, God is love.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

These qualities are qualities that we will also want to cultivate and imitate, because if we do not do so, and we have just the opposite, we would be testing God as the Israelites did, as quoted in Psalm 78:40,41.

Jehovah is a real person with precious qualities, he loves justice and will not abandon his loyal ones, he is very loving and merciful, he is close to those who have a broken heart, the person who decides to do things wrong disappoints him and the person who does what is good fills him with joy.

Jehovah has precious qualities, such as being just, he is a loving, merciful God and never abandons those who are suffering.

3. How does Jehovah show that he loves us?

Love is a quality, which we also cultivate. But in the case of God it is different, because God is love as 1 John 4:8 says. And for that, he truly loves us, it is a loyal and sincere love.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

This love that he feels for us is reflected in many facets of our lives, such as the way he cares for us, cares about us and protects us... but also from the very creation, he endowed us with senses such as sight, smell or hate to contemplate his marvelous creation.

Jehovah demonstrates his love for us through the Bible and also through the things he created, in how he made us with the ability to see beautiful colors and enjoy music and delicious food.

He shows it through the bible and through everything he has created for our benefit, he has also shown us love by the way he has made us, for example, we can see colors and enjoy music and food, in general Jehovah has made us made for us to enjoy life.

4. The Holy Spirit: God's Power in Action

Read Luke 11:13 and Acts 2:17, and discuss the following:

God will pour out his holy spirit on those who ask him. So do you think that the holy spirit is a person, or rather that it is God's active force, that is, his power in his action? Why do you think so?

Acts 2:17 clearly says that his spirit will be poured out on all kinds of people, so, joining with the fact that God is a spirit, it is obvious that it refers to the active force of God and that we notice as servants of God in the facets of our sacred service to God.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

The holy spirit is the active force of God, and I think that way, because that is why God can impart that power to his servants.

Read Psalm 33:6 and 2 Peter 1:20, 21, and discuss the following:

In what ways has Jehovah used his holy spirit?

Well, for example, in Psalm 33:6, everything in the heavens was made by the spirit of God.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

And as 2 Peter 1:20,21 says that we have read, all the prophecies that have been fulfilled and those that remain to be fulfilled come from the will of God, through his Holy Spirit.

For example, he has used his holy spirit to create everything around us and in the universe, and also through his holy spirit caused men to be inspired to write the Bible.

5. Jehovah has qualities that attract us

Read Exodus 34:4-6 and discuss the following:

What were the qualities that Jehovah mentioned to Moses?

Some of the qualities that Jehovah mentioned to Moses as we read in Exodus 34:4-6 are mercy, compassion, patience, loyal love, and being true to our word.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

I mention the following qualities to him, that he was a merciful, compassionate, patient God, with loyal love and truth.

What qualities of Jehovah are most attractive to you?

Loyal, sincere and selfless love is difficult to cultivate between people, even many times it does not exist between parents and children, which should be an almost perfect bond. Therefore, love is a magnificent quality of Jehovah, justice being another of them, and that perfect balance of God between love and justice.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Personally, it brings me a lot that he is a compassionate, merciful God and shows us his love despite our imperfection.

6. Jehovah cares about people

Questions after the video, “Jehovah was pained to see his people suffer”:

What does this account teach you about how Jehovah feels when he sees people suffer? (See verses 7 and 8).

This account teaches us that Jehovah does not like to see how his faithful servants suffer because of this world and that very soon, like Egypt, he will bring our liberation on this system of things for an eternal paradise.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

This story shows us that Jehovah is very moved when he sees his creation suffer, that is why in the past he came to his liberation, and today he does the same, he tries to help us cope with suffering and in the future he will end everything. the suffering.

Do you think that Jehovah really wants to help mankind? Do you think he can do it? Why do you think so?

God is love, and his initial intention with humanity was that they live happily in a perfect garden. And he will do it that way, because by his active force he can do anything like the Almighty God that he is and he has shown us on so many occasions.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Of course, yes, and obviously he can do it because he is the almighty God, and I think that way because throughout history we have seen that he has always helped his faithful servants to get out of difficulties as he did in the case of the Israelites.

7. In nature we see the qualities of Jehovah

Questions after the video, “Creation Is Proof of Jehovah's Love—The Human Body”:

What qualities of Jehovah do you see in creation?

There are many qualities that we can see if we stop to observe his creation, such as the love he feels for us by being able to enjoy such beautiful things, or the joy with the tonality of colors, fauna and flora so diverse.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

For example, I see love because it could have created us as robots or without us being complete beings, but it has made us in such a way that we can enjoy life by giving us the senses through which we can taste, see, smell and hear.
