Do you really appreciate God's gift of marriage? ▪ Eles "viram " as coisas prometidas ▪ They "Saw " the Things Promised Some young ones who are raised by Christian parents may not see the vast contrast that exists between our spiritual paradise and the darkness of Satan's world. Você realmente preza a dádiva divina do casamento? Do You Really Appreciate God's Gift of Marriage? What can we learn from the way faithful servants of God dealt with sickness? Alguns jovens criados por pais cristãos talvez não percebam o grande contraste que existe entre o nosso paraíso espiritual e a escuridão do mundo de Satanás. Some youths brought up by Christian parents may not see the stark contrast between our current spiritual paradise and Satan's dark world. THE first Christians, as a whole, gave tests of their faith by their conduct. O que nos ensina o modo como servos fiéis de Deus lidaram com doenças? What lesson can we draw from the way faithful servants of God have dealt with sickness? Jesus encouraged his disciples to have a " simple eye. ' OS PRIMEIROS cristãos, como um todo, deram provas de sua fé por meio de sua conduta. AS A whole, the early Christians proved their faith by how they actually lived. The second stage provides for those who will live in Paradise on earth under Christ's Messianic Kingdom. Jesus incentivou seus discípulos a ter um " olho singelo '. Jesus encouraged his disciples to have a simple eye. 5: 14. A segunda etapa prepara os que viverão no Paraíso na Terra sob o Reino messiânico de Cristo. The second stage prepares those who will dwell in Paradise on earth under Christ's Messianic Kingdom. Listen carefully when they speak about their problems, but they do not talk about political observations. 5: 14. 5: 14. If you were to draw close to him, you would be able to throw you away the present if you were to do so, or do so even if you would be hurt. Ouça com atenção quando eles falarem sobre seus problemas, mas não fale sobre política. Listen patiently to their concerns, but do not discuss politics. The clergy and shepherds are not preaching God's Kingdom. Como você ia se sentir se ele jogasse o presente no lixo, ou pior ainda, usasse o presente para machucar alguém? Com certeza, você ia ficar magoado. How disappointed you would be if you learned that he had thrown your gift in the trash or, worse yet, that he had used it to injure someone! The Christian congregation is blessed with countless brothers and sisters who cultivate the spirit of generosity. Os padres e pastores não pregam o Reino de Deus. The clergy of Christendom are not preaching God's Kingdom. Jehovah "from the final principle of the End " A congregação cristã é abençoada com incontáveis irmãos e irmãs que cultivam o espírito de generosidade. The Christian congregation is blessed with countless brothers and sisters who cultivate a spirit of generosity. We then need to decide how much about our time he is worth it. Take advantage of every opportunity to be with them and to help them. God's Son wanted nothing of Satan's world and would never worship that wicked creature! - Matt. Jeová "desde o princípio conta o final " Jehovah Tells "From the Beginning the Finale " Jehovah's Witnesses take seriously their commission to preach the good news of God's Kingdom throughout the earth and to make disciples, teaching Bible truths to interested people everywhere. Em seguida, temos de decidir quanto de nosso tempo ele vale. Next, we must decide how much of our time it is worth. (b) Jesus ' second question may have made his listeners recall what? O Filho de Deus não queria nada do mundo de Satanás e jamais adoraria aquela criatura perversa! - Mat. God's Son wanted no part of Satan's world and would never worship that wicked one! - Matt. Jehovah created us with the ability to perform significant work that increases our pleasure. As Testemunhas de Jeová levam a sério a sua missão de pregar as boas novas do Reino de Deus em toda a Terra e de fazer discípulos, ensinando as verdades bíblicas a pessoas interessadas em toda a parte. Jehovah's Witnesses take to heart their commission to preach the good news of God's Kingdom earth wide and to make disciples by teaching Bible truth to interested people everywhere. Paul became "full of holy spirit " (b) A segunda pergunta de Jesus talvez tenha feito seus ouvintes se lembrarem de quê? (b) Of what might Jesus ' second question have reminded his listeners? The apostolic method Jeová nos criou com a habilidade de realizar trabalho significativo que aumenta nosso prazer de viver. Jehovah created us with the ability to perform productive and meaningful work that adds to our enjoyment of life. Of course, it is not wrong to use social networking sites to discuss your family or friends. Paulo ficou "cheio de espírito santo " Paul Became "Filled With Holy Spirit " Now imagine how much of that village might have seemed to be in Galilee, the region of the disciples, and John would respond to the same way? O método apostólico The Apostolic Method Anthony: That's right. É claro que não é errado usar as redes sociais para conversar com a família ou os amigos. Or they spend a great deal of time looking at pictures of or reading about such individuals. Mildness can hinder differences from opinion that moves to heated arguments, be with people in our ministry, with fellow believers. Agora, imagine se essa aldeia ficasse na Galileia, a região dos discípulos. Será que Tiago e João reagiriam do mesmo modo? We may wonder if James and John would have reacted the same way if the inhospitable village had been in their home region of Galilee. Yes, "the joy of Jehovah is [our] stronghold. " Antônio: Isso mesmo. Anthony: Correct. The meeting will likely be held in a pleasant place and clean where all those present will be right to benefit from the occasion. A brandura pode impedir que diferenças de opinião se transformem em discussões acaloradas, seja com pessoas no nosso ministério, seja com irmãos na fé. Yes, our having mildness of temper can prevent differences of opinion from escalating into heated arguments, both with people we meet in our ministry and with fellow believers. 1: 5; 1 Cor. Sim, "o regozijo de Jeová é o [nosso] baluarte ." Yes, "the joy of Jehovah is [our] stronghold. " In any case, Jesus ' words show that elders should not act quickly. A reunião provavelmente será realizada num lugar agradável e limpo onde todas as pessoas presentes estarão bem acomodadas para tirar proveito da ocasião. The gathering will likely be in an attractive, clean setting where all can comfortably enjoy the occasion. He made this vow to Jehovah: "If you without fail sending me to the Master of the Master, then you must give him that one who will go out of my door to meet me, when I will come back in peace of Jehovah's Master, and then I must offer up as if I will give him a burnt offering. " 1: 5; 1 Cor. 1: 5; 1 Cor. How do you feel about being part of a long list of faithful witnesses? De qualquer forma, as palavras de Jesus mostram que os anciãos não devem se precipitar. Whatever the case, Jesus ' words indicate that the congregation should not get involved in disagreements prematurely. Consider why this happened and how those words of Jesus can promote your happiness and influence their attitude and prayers. Ele fez este voto a Jeová: "Se tu, sem falta, me entregares os filhos de Amom na mão, então terá de dar - se que aquele que sair, quem sair da porta da minha casa ao meu encontro, quando eu voltar em paz dos filhos de Amom, terá de tornar - se então de Jeová, e eu terei de oferecer a tal como oferta queimada. " He made this vow to Jehovah: "If you without fail give the sons of Ammon into my hand, it must also occur that the one coming out, who comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the sons of Ammon, must also become Jehovah's, and I must offer that one up as a burnt offering. " Michelle: So let you realize that I'm more strong than you. Como você se sente por fazer parte de uma longa lista de testemunhas fiéis? How do you feel about being part of the long line of faithful witnesses? * In Israel, Nisan 14, the joyous day of the Passover celebration. Veja por que isso aconteceu e como essas palavras de Jesus podem promover sua felicidade e influenciar sua atitude e suas orações. Learn why that was so, and see how his words can promote your happiness and influence your attitude and prayers. March 22 - 28, 2010 Michele: Então, para você entender: suponhamos que eu dissesse que sou mais forte que você. Let's say that one day I approach you and claim that I'm physically stronger than you are. Safeguarded in that people accept us as we are, or are we humbly looking out for traces of personality that they do not consider offensive? * Em Israel, 14 de nisã era o alegre dia da celebração da Páscoa. * In Israel, Nisan 14 was the joyous day of the Passover celebration. But both single and married people can " deliver themselves from every weight ' and serve God with the least of distractions. 22 - 28 de março de 2010 March 22 - 28, 2010 What will protect us from being deceived by outward appearances of Satan's world? Insistimos em que as pessoas nos aceitem como somos, ou com humildade procuramos eliminar os traços de personalidade que elas com razão consideram ofensivos? Do we insist that others accept us as we are, or do we humbly work to eliminate personality traits that others rightly find offensive? (Read Proverbs 29: 25.) Mas tanto os solteiros como os casados podem " livrar - se de todo peso ' e servir a Deus com o mínimo de distrações possível. But whether single or married, all can "throw off every weight " and serve God with as few distractions as possible. When did the apostle Paul compare Christian life? O que nos protegerá contra sermos enganados pelas aparências do mundo de Satanás? What will protect us from being deceived by the outward appearance of Satan's system? See pages 3 - 10 of Awake! (Leia Provérbios 29: 25.) (Read Proverbs 29: 25.) (b) As depicted on page 26, what "deep things of Satan " should we avoid? Ao que o apóstolo Paulo comparou a vida cristã? To what did the apostle Paul compare the Christian life course? We should think as did the apostle Paul, who told his anointed brothers: "You are no more strangers and foreigners, but... members of God's family. " Veja as páginas 3 - 10 da Despertai! See pages 3 - 10 of the February 8, 1994, issue of Awake! To begin with, we need to learn all that we can about Jehovah God in his Word, the Bible. (b) Conforme ilustrado na página 26, que "coisas profundas de Satanás " devemos evitar? (b) As depicted on page 26, what "deep things of Satan " should we avoid? Or did you promise someone in the ministry that you would return to help him get more knowledge of the Bible? Devemos pensar como o apóstolo Paulo, que disse aos seus irmãos ungidos: "Vocês não são mais estranhos e estrangeiros, mas... membros da família de Deus. " We should have a view like that of the apostle Paul, who admonished his fellow anointed Christians that they were "no longer strangers and foreigners, but... members of the household of God. " Let us now consider other ways in which we can contribute to the unity of God's people. Para começar, é preciso aprender tudo o que pudermos sobre Jeová Deus na sua Palavra, a Bíblia. That begins with learning all we can about Jehovah God from his Word, the Bible. (Read Revelation 12: 17.) Ou prometeu a alguém no ministério que voltaria para ajudá - lo a obter mais conhecimento da Bíblia? Or have you promised someone you met in the house - to - house ministry that you would call again to give that person further spiritual help? 4: 2 Vamos ver agora outras maneiras de contribuirmos para a união do povo de Deus. However, this is not the only way that our cooperation contributes to the unity of God's people. Psalm 83: 16 foreshadowed that fact, saying: "Let them fill their faces with reproach, that people pursue your name, O Jehovah. " (Leia Revelação 12: 17.) (Read Revelation 12: 17.) How can we have a continued protection against the wicked spirit forces? 4: 2 4: 2 Often, deaf people are very courteous and patient as they teach their tongue. O Salmo 83: 16 prefigurou isso, dizendo: "Enche - lhes as faces de desonra, para que as pessoas procurem o teu nome, ó Jeová. " Psalm 83: 16 foreshadowed this when it said: "Fill their faces with dishonor, that people may search for your name, O Jehovah. " Jesus requires that all his followers prepare their heart for a faithful service and maintain the same degree of watchfulness. Como podemos ter uma proteção contínua contra as forças espirituais iníquas? How can we have continued protection against the wicked spirit forces? Why did he expect that? Geralmente os surdos são muito educados e pacientes ao ensinar sua língua a outros. Deaf people are usually very gracious and patient when teaching others their language. We must be truthful and truthful. Jesus requer que todos os seus seguidores preparem o coração para realizar um serviço fiel e mantenham o mesmo grau de vigilância. Jesus requires all his followers to prepare their hearts for faithful service and to meet the same standard of watchfulness. Prophecy clearly shows that the end is near. Jesus knew that the Devil would do people think that situation is not as urgent. Por que ela esperava isso? What gave her such expectation? (b) How was Jesus ' role in creation unique? Temos de ser sinceros e autênticos. We must be truthful. If I are alive to see my father in the resurrection, we will make up the past. As profecias mostram claramente que o fim está próximo. Mas Jesus sabia que o Diabo faria as pessoas achar que a situação não é tão urgente assim. Jesus knew that the Devil would keep people in darkness mentally in order to undermine the sense of urgency that permeates God's prophecies about the future. How did Matthew handle such opposition? (b) Em que sentido o papel de Jesus na criação foi sem igual? (b) How was Jesus ' role in creation unique? (b) How do we " honor men of all sorts "? Se eu estiver vivo para ver meu pai na ressurreição, nós vamos compensar o passado. If I live to see my father in the resurrection, we will make up for the past. Never east the following: "The mouth of little ones and of little children have provided praise '? Como Matthew lidou com essa oposição? How did Matthew deal with that opposition? This included being sustained "in the bed of illness. " (b) Como " honramos a homens de toda sorte '? (b) How do we "honor men of all sorts "? He was not afraid to give strong counsel, not even to the king. Nunca lestes o seguinte: " Da boca de pequeninos e de crianças de peito forneceste louvor '? " Did you never read this, " Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings you have furnished praise '? " Another way to act as the first defense of your child is to be a good listener. Isso incluía ser amparado "no leito de enfermidade ." That included being sustained "on his sickbed. " In many cases, the pioneers take the cost of going in a foreign land, and there is no guarantee that they will earn money. Não tinha medo de dar fortes conselhos, nem mesmo ao rei. He was not afraid to give strong counsel even to the king. We do well to take to heart the lesson. Outro modo de agir como a primeira linha de defesa de seu filho é ser um bom ouvinte. Another way to act as your child's first line of defense is to be a good listener. As Christians, we allow love for God and neighbor to motivate us to share in the Kingdom - preaching and disciple - making work. Em muitos casos, as pessoas subestimam os custos de ir trabalhar no estrangeiro, e não há garantia de que vão ganhar dinheiro. In many cases, individuals underestimate the cost of going overseas to work, and there are no guarantees that they will make money abroad. A person can be forgiven by God has already forgiven those who have sinned against him. Fazemos bem em levar a sério a lição. We do well to take the lesson to heart. Luke also has the determination to do so. Como cristãos, permitimos que o amor a Deus e ao próximo nos motive a participar na obra de pregar o Reino e fazer discípulos. As Christians, we allow our love for God and neighbor to motivate us to share in the Kingdom - preaching and disciple - making work. However, Jehovah gave Adam the name of the animals. A pessoa só pode ser perdoada por Deus se já tiver perdoado os que pecaram contra ela. People can receive God's forgiveness only if they have already forgiven those who have sinned against them. Why Put Jehovah's Service First? Lucas também tem essa determinação. Scott feels the same about protecting him. Notice what he said: "It was hard for me to control wrong is a struggle. Mas Jeová deu a Adão a interessante tarefa de dar nome aos animais. However, Jehovah reserved the joy of naming those creatures for his first human son. The apostle Paul counsels Christians not to leave their mate simply because that person is an unbeliever. Por que dar prioridade ao serviço de Jeová? Why Put Jehovah's Service First? 2, 3. (a) How did Satan's idea that he is not helping him? Veja o que ele disse: "Pra mim, controlar pensamentos errados é uma luta. What was his reaction? " I am fighting to control improper thoughts. Some translations are not as clear or trustworthy. O apóstolo Paulo aconselha os cristãos a não deixar o cônjuge só porque essa pessoa é um descrente. The apostle Paul advises Christians not to leave a marriage partner just because that individual is an unbeliever. From his study of the Bible, you are likely to know that your life should be centered on praising Jehovah, not just please yourself or acquire material possessions. 2, 3. (a) Como a ideia de que Satanás não existe acaba ajudando a ele? 2, 3. (a) How does the idea that Satan does not exist actually further the Devil's objectives? Sadly, some loyal servants of Jehovah have been infected by pride. Algumas traduções não são tão claras ou confiáveis. Some Bible translations are not as clear or as reliable as others. 6, 7. Com base no seu estudo da Bíblia, é bem provável que saiba agora que sua vida deve ser centrada em louvar a Jeová, não em apenas agradar a si mesmo ou em adquirir bens materiais. From your study of the Bible, you very likely now know that your life should be focused on praising Jehovah, not on merely pleasing yourself or acquiring material possessions. " This, besides the fact that I neglected, led to a disastrous end. Infelizmente, até alguns servos leais de Jeová foram contaminados pelo orgulho. Sadly, though, even some loyal servants of Jehovah have become infected with pride. However, those of the other sheep join them in extending this invitation. 6, 7. 6, 7. How long we long for the time when such things will no longer exist! " Isso, além do fato de que eu a negligenciava, levou a um fim desastroso. " This, coupled with the fact that I had been neglecting her, led to a disastrous turn of events. Thus we show our loving Father that we wish to escape his future wrath and live in the righteous new world. Mas os das outras ovelhas se juntam a eles em fazer esse convite. Yet, those of the other sheep join in extending this invitation. When delivering the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, God told them: "I am Jehovah, that I lead you out of the land of Egypt, in order to prove me to you; and you must prove yourselves holy. " Como ansiamos o tempo em que tais coisas não existirão mais! How we long for the time when these will no longer exist! Isaiah received this commission in the last year of Uzziah's reign, or about 778 B.C.E. Desse modo mostramos ao nosso amoroso Pai que de fato desejamos escapar de seu futuro furor e viver no novo mundo justo. We thereby show our loving Father that we really want to escape his coming wrath and live in the righteous new world. They knew that Jesus had been sent by God, but they had afraid of the religious leaders. Ao libertar os israelitas da escravidão no Egito, Deus lhes disse: "Eu sou Jeová, que vos conduzo para fora da terra do Egito, a fim de me mostrar Deus para vós; e tendes de mostrar ser santos, porque eu sou santo. " When God was delivering the Israelites from Egyptian slavery, they were told: "I am Jehovah, who is leading you up out of the land of Egypt to prove myself God to you, and you must be holy, because I am holy. " For thousands of years after the sin of perfect man, it was valid to ask: "Can any human manifest godly devotion perfectly? " Isaías recebeu essa comissão no último ano do reinado de Uzias, ou seja, por volta de 778 AEC. Isaiah received this commission in the last year of King Uzziah's reign, or about 778 B.C.E. You do not see the time to hug the person, talk with her, and give good laugh. Sabiam que Jesus havia sido enviado por Deus, mas tinham medo dos líderes religiosos. They knew that Jesus was sent by God, but they were afraid of the religious leaders. The Bible likens organizations and institutions of mountains today and islands, for they seem to be safe and secure. Por milhares de anos depois do pecado do homem perfeito Adão, era válido perguntar: "Pode algum humano manifestar devoção piedosa com perfeição? " For thousands of years after the perfect man Adam sinned, the question could be raised, "Can any human display perfect godly devotion? " * This means that Jehovah will use Jesus ' anointed ones to destroy Satan and his followers. - Rom. Você não vê a hora de abraçar essa pessoa, conversar com ela e dar boas risadas. You long to hug, to speak with, and to laugh with that dear one. Ask yourself: "If anyone was writing the recipe, who wrote the recipe for the apple, which is far more difficult? " A Bíblia compara as organizações e instituições de hoje a montanhas e ilhas, porque elas parecem que são firmes e seguras. The Bible uses mountains and islands to picture many of the organizations and institutions that seem so solid to mankind today. Indeed, it is "the wicked slave " who concludes that the Master is delaying. * Isso faz sentido, porque Jeová vai usar Jesus e os ungidos para destruir Satanás e seus seguidores. - Rom. * That is fitting, since it is Jesus and his anointed corulers whom Jehovah will use to crush Satan and his followers. - Rom. After converting to Christianity, they were no doubt helped to persuade him to believe in Christian teachings. Pergunte: "Se alguém teve de escrever a receita do bolo, quem escreveu a receita da maçã, que é muito mais difícil? " You might ask: "If the recipe for the cake had a writer, who wrote the much more complex recipe for the apple? " According to one brother, what has helped his marriage? Realmente, é o "escravo mau " que conclui que o Amo está demorando. Indeed, it is the "evil slave " who concludes that the Master is delaying. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it. " - Psalm 37: 28, 29. Depois de se converterem ao cristianismo, elas sem dúvida foram de ajuda em persuadi - lo a crer nos ensinos cristãos. After they converted to Christianity, they no doubt helped persuade him to believe Christian teachings. And you allow Jehovah to talk to you, as it were, by regularly reading his written Word and meditating on it. Segundo certo irmão, o que tem ajudado seu casamento? What did one brother conclude has helped his marriage? You try to jump on a boat to save lives, but this is delaying. Os próprios justos possuirão a terra e residirão sobre ela para todo o sempre. " - Salmo 37: 28, 29. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it. " - Psalm 37: 28, 29. Meanwhile, we want to use every opportunity to strengthen our faith in order to maintain our integrity to Jehovah no matter what tests come upon us. E você permite que Jeová converse com você, por assim dizer, por ler regularmente Sua Palavra escrita e meditar nela. And you allow Jehovah to talk to you, as it were, when you regularly read his written Word and meditate on it. I'm at a time. Samantha: Thank you. Você tenta pular num barco salva - vidas, mas este está lotado. You try to jump into a lifeboat, but it is full. " Still enough to get the basic things to obtain the basic clothing, such as Getting out for example. Enquanto isso, queremos usar toda oportunidade para fortalecer nossa fé a fim de sermos íntegros a Jeová não importa que provas nos sobrevenham. Meanwhile, we want to use every opportunity to strengthen our faith so that we will be able to keep our integrity to Jehovah no matter what tests we may face. It is vital for a person to repent sincerely and recognize Jehovah as the true God. Tenho mais algum tempo. Carla: Ótimo! Samantha: Yes, I have a few minutes. For example, despite all the counsel that has been provided, many brothers and sisters who are not neatly dress and grooming. " Ainda ganho o suficiente para obter as coisas básicas, como roupas apresentáveis por exemplo. " I still earn enough money for basics, such as presentable clothing. How happy Satan must have been when he sees the haughtiness of men as Nimrod, Pharaoh, and Absalom - all victims of the wrong kind of pride! É essencial para a salvação a pessoa arrepender - se sinceramente e reconhecer a Jeová como o verdadeiro Deus. Genuine repentance and acknowledgment of Jehovah as the true God are essential for salvation. He also suffered at the hands of his fellow believers and the leaders of his own nation. Por exemplo, apesar de todos os conselhos que a organização já deu, muitos irmãos e irmãs ainda usam roupas que não são modestas. For example, despite all the counsel that has been given on the subject, some still prefer styles of dress and grooming that are immodest. Jesus knew that not everyone would accept his teachings, but they would be opposed to the truth. Como Satanás deve ter se alegrado ao ver a arrogância de homens como Ninrode, Faraó e Absalão - todos vítimas do tipo errado de orgulho! How Satan must have reveled in the boasting of such men as Nimrod, Pharaoh, and Absalom - all of whom fell victim to improper pride! She loyally stuck to Naomi, leaving her family and false religion with Moab. Ele também sofreu nas mãos de seus irmãos e dos líderes de sua própria nação. Por ser o primeiro filho, ele tinha o direito de receber uma parte maior da herança de seu pai. Jealousy and hatred moved his half brothers to drive him away, illegally depriving him of his rightful inheritance as firstborn. The first group is composed of brothers who were alive in 1914 and who readily discerned the sign of Christ's presence in that year. Jesus sabia que nem todos iriam aceitar os seus ensinos. Alguns até ficariam contra a verdade. Por isso, seus seguidores precisariam de coragem. Jesus knew that his teachings would divide people and that those who follow him would need courage to do so in the face of opposition. In 1927, organized the regular preaching work on Sunday. Ela lealmente ficou com Noemi, abandonando para sempre sua família e a religião falsa de Moabe. She loyally stuck to Naomi, abandoning forever her family and the false religion of Moab. In other cases, throughout the whole nation of Israel, that is, Jacob. O primeiro grupo é composto de irmãos que estavam vivos em 1914 e que discerniram prontamente o sinal da presença de Cristo naquele ano. The first group was on hand in 1914, and they readily discerned the sign of Christ's presence in that year. What can help us to keep in mind that we must be generous? Em 1927, organizou - se a pregação regular de casa em casa aos domingos. Regular house - to - house work on Sundays was organized in 1927. " Even if it should delay, keep in expectation of it! " - Ex. Em outros casos, à inteira nação de Israel, ou seja, Jacó. Sometimes it is applied to the whole nation of Israel, or Jacob. Joshua knew that Jehovah had fulfilled his promises. O que pode ajudar a nos lembrar de que devemos ser generosos? What can help us to remember to be generous? Likewise, we appreciate when others in the congregation understand that they should not demand too much of our time. " Mesmo que demore, continue na expectativa dela! " - HAB. " Even if it should delay, keep in expectation of it! " - HAB. All who are in Sheol, or Hades, are in Jehovah's memory, and he will deliver each one of them. - Luke 20: 37, 38; Rev. Josué sabia que Jeová havia cumprido suas promessas. Joshua knew that Jehovah had kept His promises. You should truly listen to God, your parents, and yourself the obligation to confess any wrongdoing. Da mesma forma, apreciamos quando outros na congregação entendem que não devem exigir demais de nosso tempo. Likewise, we appreciate it when others in the congregation understand that they should not be demanding when it comes to asking us for our time. They said: "Taste a group of true Christians who make us feel at home. " Todos os que estão no Seol, ou Hades, estão na memória de Jeová, e ele libertará a cada um deles. - Luc. 20: 37, 38; Rev. All those in Sheol, or Hades, are in Jehovah's memory, and he will provide escape for each and every one of them. - Luke 20: 37, 38; Rev. By giving judgment against Satan, Jehovah revealed a new expression of his sovereignty, a means of which would restore peace and order to all his rulership. Você realmente deve a Deus, a seus pais e a si mesmo a obrigação de confessar qualquer transgressão. You really owe it to God, to your parents, and to yourself to confess any wrongdoing. 1, 2. Eles disseram: "Encontramos um grupo de cristãos verdadeiros que nos fazem sentir em casa. " " We have found a true Christian home, " they said. Jehovah made a covenant with Israel. Ao proferir julgamento contra Satanás, Jeová revelou uma nova expressão de sua soberania, um meio pelo qual restabeleceria a paz e a ordem em todo o seu domínio. In pronouncing his judgment against Satan, Jehovah revealed a new expression of his sovereignty, a means by which he would restore peace and order to all his realm. Jehovah trusts his Son. 1, 2. 1, 2. However, they did not know; so they had to be prepared. Jeová fez um pacto com Israel. Jehovah made a covenant with Israel. That is why we do not allow you to touch it. Jeová confia no seu Filho. Jehovah puts trust in his Son. What will Jehovah do about distressful conditions? Mas eles não sabiam; portanto, tinham de estar preparados. But they did not know, so they needed to keep ready. " I have acquired your youth and be happy as a young person is. " É por isso que não te permiti tocar nela. That is why I did not allow you to touch her. What does his resurrection mean for us? O que Jeová vai fazer com as péssimas condições de vida que existem hoje? What will Jehovah do about distressful conditions? Zealous elders make sure that none of the congregation will be forgotten. " JOVEM, aproveite a sua mocidade e seja feliz enquanto é moço. " Let your heart lead you to enjoyment in the days of your youth. " And they will have to know that I am Jehovah. " O que sua ressurreição significa para nós? Indeed, what does his resurrection mean for us? It is also possible that David found strength by reflecting on the fact that despite his hurtful state and the bad things his enemies said to him, Jehovah considers a man of integrity. Anciãos zelosos se certificam de que nenhum membro da congregação seja esquecido. Zealous elders make sure that none in the congregation are overlooked. How can we show that we are grateful to Jehovah for all the instruction he provides? E terão de saber que eu sou Jeová. " And they will have to know that I am Jehovah. " In fact, Jehovah provided the Israelites's needs in the wilderness, lovingly providing them with food and water. Também é possível que Davi tenha encontrado forças por refletir no fato de que, apesar de sua condição enfraquecida e das coisas más que seus inimigos diziam a seu respeito, Jeová o considerava um homem de integridade. David may also have found strength in reflecting on the fact that despite his weakened condition and the bad things that his enemies were saying, Jehovah regarded him as a man of integrity. But sin mentioned at Matthew 18 did not include serious sin as adultery, homosexuality, idolatry, and others. Como podemos mostrar que somos gratos a Jeová por toda a instrução que ele nos dá? How can we show our gratitude to Jehovah for his provisions? Jehovah chose the first of his heavenly sons to become the primary part of the promised seed in Eden, but why did he select Christ's associates from among mankind? Na verdade, Jeová supria as necessidades dos israelitas no ermo, amorosamente fornecendo - lhes comida e água. Actually, Jehovah sustained the Israelites with what they needed in the wilderness, lovingly providing them with food and water. " The tribulation is momentary, " said Paul, while "glory, " or rewarder that Jehovah promises us, he possesses a weight that is more and more everlasting. " Mas o pecado mencionado em Mateus 18 não incluía pecados graves como adultério, homossexualismo, apostasia, idolatria e outros. Rather, it was (1) a sin that could be settled between the individuals concerned but it was also (2) a sin serious enough to merit disfellowshipping if not settled. [ Picture on page 31] Jeová escolheu o primeiro de seus filhos celestiais para se tornar a parte principal do descendente prometido no Éden, mas por que escolheu os associados de Cristo dentre a humanidade?

Ele falou: "Felizes são vocês quando as pessoas os insultam e perseguem, e, mentindo, dizem todo tipo de coisas más contra vocês, por minha causa.

[ Picture on page 31] O item a ser pesado era colocado num dos pratos e o peso no outro. The object being weighed was put in one pan and a weight in the other.

What have you observed about people who faithfully serve Jehovah? 15, 16. O Diabo conseguiu colocar Adão e Eva contra Jeová e disse que conseguiria fazer o mesmo com todo mundo. Since the Devil first enticed humans to support his rival sovereignty, your siding with Jehovah's rulership sends Satan a message that is loud and clear. The Bible acknowledges that some are " given to anger " and" willing to go to wrath. " * Ter ele mencionado "consciência " pode trazer à mente um fato que o apóstolo Paulo salientou:" Sempre que pessoas das nações, que não têm lei, fazem por natureza as coisas da lei, tais pessoas, embora não tenham lei, são uma lei para si mesmas. * His mentioning "conscience " may call to mind a fact that the apostle Paul stressed:" Whenever people of the nations that do not have law do by nature the things of the law, these people, although not having law, are a law to themselves.

Similarly, we should strive to nourish our heart with spiritual food that fills our personal needs. (Newn Version) Yes, the price that Jehovah was willing to pay for the ransom shows that he has the highest respect for which is " adequate and righteous. " Manter a palavra em acordos comerciais pode testar nossa lealdade a Deus e nosso respeito pela Bíblia (Veja o parágrafo 16.) Honoring our business agreements may test our loyalty to God and respect for the Bible (See paragraph 16) A sparrow offered to God with love and devotion had more value for him than thousands of rams with the wrong motive.

Um pardal oferecido a Deus com amor e devoção tinha mais valor para ele do que milhares de carneiros dados com a motivação errada. A sparrow offered to God in love and devotion was worth more to him than thousands of rams given with a wrong motive. Perhaps you give you good present and begin pushing it away from friends, fellow believers, and parents with the goal of becoming alone. Ao aprender que os mortos não estão conscientes, a que conclusões poderá chegar um estudante da Bíblia? When a Bible student learns that the dead are not conscious, what conclusions can he draw? Does that mean that a person cannot be happy without religion? " O Filho está disposto a revelar o Pai ' " The Son Is Willing to Reveal the Father ' (a) A relative, perhaps the father or mother, had died, and the funeral will take place in a church.)

Será mesmo que uma pessoa não precisa de religião para ser feliz? Is it really true that one can be happy without religion? What encouragement can we draw from those who are encouraged?

And those whose heart is still in the full - time service but who for various reasons have had to limit their activity also appreciate receiving encouragement. • How are God's servants guided by his spirit? 21: 43; Atos 7: 51, 52; Gál. 21: 43; Acts 7: 51, 52; Gal. Jesus meant this point: Rather than once that a man had received mercy, he was to follow the way of salvation and not deliberately sin that would not happen to him something worse than the sickness. Mas muitos percebem que esse tipo de conversa é bem útil mais tarde. Yet, many have said how useful those conversations proved to be later. Like that time, a small group of spirit - anointed overseers make up the Governing Body of Christ's followers on earth today. Como se dá esse crescimento? How is spiritual growth achieved? In the synagogue in Nazareth, the city where he had grown, Jesus read, and applied himself to the following words of Isaiah's scroll: "The spirit of Jehovah is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor, to preach the captives, to the captives, to preach the crushed ones of Jehovah, to preach the crushed ones, and a recovery of a release by holy year. " • Como os servos de Deus atuais são guiados pelo seu espírito? • How are God's servants guided by God's spirit today? The people of Israel should never forget that the rightful Owner of his land was Jehovah. Jesus queria dizer o seguinte: uma vez que esse homem havia recebido misericórdia, ele devia seguir o caminho da salvação e não pecar deliberadamente para que não lhe acontecesse algo pior do que a doença. What Jesus meant was that now that the man had been shown mercy, he must follow the way of salvation and willfully sin no more lest something worse than sickness should befall him. 3, 4. (a) Why did Jehovah show undeserved kindness to all humans? Assim como naquela época, hoje um pequeno grupo de superintendentes ungidos pelo espírito compõe o Corpo Governante dos seguidores de Cristo na Terra. As in early Christian times, a small group of spirit - anointed overseers make up the Governing Body of Christ's followers on earth today. Such comparison as well as the thought that she had honey and milk under the tongue, emphasize the warm and warm tone of the Shulammite's words.

" In the synagogue at Nazareth, the town where he had been reared, Jesus read from the scroll of Isaiah and applied to himself the words: "Jehovah's spirit is upon me, because he anointed me to declare good news to the poor, he sent me forth to preach a release to the captives and a recovery of sight to the blind, to send the crushed ones away with a release, to preach Jehovah's acceptable year. " How grateful we are for Jehovah's loving, wise reminders that we be yielding! O povo de Israel nunca se devia esquecer de que o Proprietário legítimo de sua terra era Jeová. The people of Israel were never to forget that the real Owner of their land was Jehovah. By no means! 3, 4. (a) Por que Jeová demonstrou bondade imerecida a todos os humanos? 3, 4. How important it is that we maintain our desire to serve in a foreign - language field! - Matt. Essa comparação, bem como a idéia de que havia mel e leite debaixo da língua da jovem, enfatiza o tom cordial e agradável das palavras da sulamita. This comparison, as well as the idea that honey and milk were under the maiden's tongue, emphasizes the goodness and pleasantness of the words spoken by the Shulammite. Even faithful servants of Jehovah can feel that way. Somos muito gratos pelas amorosas e sábias advertências de Jeová para sermos razoáveis! How grateful we are for Jehovah's loving and wise reminders to be yielding! The result? De modo algum! Far from it! " You are my friends if you do what I am commanding you. " - JOHN 15: 14.

Hence, Moses took the blood and struck his people with him, saying: " Look! the blood of the covenant that Jehovah concluded with you all these words. ' " - Ex.

Por concordar com o pacto, Israel prometeu ser fiel ao seu "dono marital ," Jeová. By agreeing to the covenant, Israel promised to be faithful to her "husbandly owner, " Jehovah. At times, the people of Israel used to complain about rebelliously speaking against Moses and against God himself. Portanto, Moisés tomou o sangue [dos novilhos sacrificados] e aspergiu com ele o povo, e disse: " Eis o sangue do pacto que Jeová concluiu convosco com respeito a todas estas palavras. ' " - Êxo. So Moses took the blood [of the sacrificed bulls] and sprinkled it on the people and said: " This is the blood of the covenant that Jehovah has made with you in harmony with all these words. ' " - Ex. And even now he rejoices because of them. Ele usa esse espírito para abrir o coração e a mente dos membros da simbólica noiva para que entendam a Sua Palavra, a Bíblia. He uses the spirit to open the hearts and minds of the bride class to understand his Word, the Bible. The Preaching of the Good News in Walking Além disso, eles lamentam os erros que cometeram quando eram jovens e desejam sinceramente evitar que vocês cometam erros parecidos. Moreover, they regret the mistakes they made when they were young and earnestly want to protect you from making similar ones. Do you hold back from attending meetings, allowing pride that separates you from Jehovah and his people? Às vezes, o povo de Israel cedia à tentação de se queixar rebeldemente, certa vez falando contra Moisés e contra o próprio Deus. At times, the people of Israel succumbed to the temptation to complain rebelliously, on one occasion speaking against Moses as well as against God himself! King David had written a personal copy of the Law and knew that Jehovah says: "Vengeance is mine, and retribution. " E até hoje ele se alegra por causa deles. And he rejoices over them down to this day. 14, 15. A pregação das boas novas no alto dos Andes Spreading Good News High in the Andes What warm feelings! Deixaria de assistir às reuniões, permitindo que o orgulho o afastasse de Jeová e de seu povo? Would he stop attending meetings, letting pride distance him from Jehovah and His people? The Scriptures show that hidden expressions of anger indicate weakness, not force. O Rei Davi tinha escrito uma cópia pessoal da Lei e sabia que Jeová diz ali: "Minha é a vingança e a retribuição. " King David has written a personal copy of the Law and knows that in it Jehovah declares: "Vengeance is mine, and retribution. " We too can win our weaknesses. 14, 15. 14, 15.
