Let's Examine the Scriptures Every Day 2022
Tuesday, July 12, 2022
Be faithful until death and I will give you the crown of life (Rev. 2:10).
We know that if our enemies kill us, Jehovah will bring us back to life. We are convinced that nothing they do can separate us from our God (Rom. 8:35-39). What extraordinary wisdom Jehovah has shown in giving us the hope of the resurrection. With it, he takes away from Satan one of his most powerful weapons and at the same time gives us indestructible courage. If our enemies threaten to take our lives, will we trust that Jehovah can restore them to us? To find out, let us ask ourselves: “Do the little decisions I make every day show that I trust in Jehovah?” (Luke 16:10). “Do I show by the way I live that I trust Jehovah’s promise to provide me with what I need if I seek the Kingdom first?” (Matt. 6:31-33). If the answer is yes, we will be able to face any test that comes our way (Prov. 3:5, 6). w20.08 17, 18 paras. 15, 16
How will the resurrection make us feel?
Let's imagine what it will be like to see our loved ones again. Will we laugh? Shall we cry with joy? Will we feel so happy that we will sing praises to Jehovah? What is certain is that we will feel a deep love for our loving Father and his loving Son for having made the resurrection possible.
According to Jesus' words recorded at John 5:28, 29, what will those who are resurrected have if they obey God's righteous standards?
Imagine also the joy those who are resurrected will feel as they shed their old selves and live according to God's righteous standards. Those who make these changes will have “a resurrection of life,” while those who rebel against God will not be allowed to disturb the peace of Paradise (read John 5:28, 29; Isa. 65:20).
How will Jehovah bless all who live on earth?
Under the Kingdom, all of God's servants will see that what Proverbs 10:22 says is true: "The blessing of Jehovah is that which makes rich, and with it he brings no pain." With the help of Jehovah's spirit, they will become spiritually rich, that is, they will become more and more like Christ and move toward perfection.—John 13:15-17; Eph. 4:23, 24. Every day they will be better people and their body will become stronger. How happy they will be! (Job 33:25). Now, how does meditating on the resurrection benefit us today?
