Dans son livre Combler les fossés familiaux (angl.), Mark Sichel a écrit: " Il est fort possible que le membre de votre famille qui est l'objet de votre ressentiment aille très bien, prenne du bon temps et ne soit pas du tout perturbé par [ce qui se passe dans votre tête]. " The family member who is the focus of your resentment may be feeling just fine, enjoying life, and perhaps not at all troubled by any of this, " writes Mark Sichel in his book Healing From Family Rifts. In his book The B.C.E., Mark wrote: "It is safe that the family member of your family is able to take a lot of resentment, take good time, and be troubled by everything that is taking place in your head. 5, 6. a) Pour quelle raison Paul a - t - il félicité les chrétiens de Jérusalem? 5, 6.

Penser constamment à ce que l'on a abandonné n'est vraiment pas la chose à faire quand on travaille comme un esclave pour Dieu. Dwelling on what we have left behind is definitely not the right thing to do when slaving for God. A constant view of what we have left is not really the thing to do when we are working as a slave for God. Un chrétien mûr respecte la conscience des autres (voir les paragraphes 11, 12). A mature Christian is sensitive to the conscience of others (See paragraphs 11, 12) A mature Christian respects the conscience of others (See paragraphs 11, 12) Si c'est le cas, le problème viendrait - il en partie de mes habitudes d'étude? If so, might my study habits be part of the problem? ' If so, would the problem be part of my study habits? En Éden, Jéhovah a prédit qu'il y aurait une inimitié entre sa "femme " symbolique et le" serpent ," ainsi qu'entre leurs " semences ' respectives. In Eden, Jehovah foretold that there would be enmity between his symbolic "woman " and the" serpent " and between their respective " seeds. ' In Eden, Jehovah foretold that there would be enmity between his figurative "woman and the serpent, " along with their" offspring. " Que devrions - nous faire avant de prendre des décisions?

Au lieu de s'aigrir du fait que ses frères hébreux ne l'avaient apparemment pas reconnu à sa juste valeur, il accepta cette situation permise par Dieu. Instead of letting himself be consumed with bitterness because his Hebrew brothers apparently did not appreciate him, Moses submitted to what God permitted. Instead of becoming bitter as his Hebrew brothers apparently failed to recognize his rightful value, he accepted that situation from God.

Par conséquent, éprouvons de temps à autre les raisons pour lesquelles nous servons Jéhovah. So from time to time, we might examine our motives for serving Jehovah. So from time to time, we find reasons why we serve Jehovah. Posons - nous donc la question: " Mes choix en matière de divertissements m'aident - ils à développer de belles qualités?

Laissons - nous guider par le Dieu vivant Showing the extent of Jehovah's kindness, Jesus said: "If you love those loving you, of what credit is it to you? Seek God's Living! Pour montrer toute l'étendue de la bonté de Jéhovah, il a dit: "Si vous aimez ceux qui vous aiment, quel mérite avez - vous? This term is generally thought to represent a pause for silent meditation, either in the singing alone or in the singing and instrumental music. To show the extent of Jehovah's goodness, he said: "If you love those loving you, what credit do you have? On s'accorde à penser que ce terme indique une pause destinée à la méditation. Il peut s'agir d'une interruption du chant uniquement, ou bien du chant et de la musique. His assignment? It is proper to think that the term suggests a pause for meditation, one of only song, singing, and music. Sa mission? The wicked are not "rich toward God. " His assignment? Les méchants ne sont pas " riches à l'égard de Dieu '. We can also be sure that Jehovah is pleased with us. The wicked are not " rich toward God. ' Jéhovah aussi se réjouit, soyons - en certains. He will even drive away the bad "air " of this world system, for the bad spirit of Satan and his demons will be gone at last. - Eph. 2: 2. Jehovah also rejoices. Il chassera même l ' " air " nocif de ce système, car l'esprit mauvais de Satan et de ses démons disparaîtra enfin!. Jehovah will help us to control our emotions and to take whatever steps may be possible to minimize the bad effects of calamitous events. He will even cut off "the air " of this system, for Satan's wicked spirit and his demons will finally be gone! Jéhovah nous aidera à maîtriser nos sentiments et à prendre toutes les mesures possibles pour limiter les dégâts. Délectons - nous des bonnes choses matérielles et spirituelles qu'il nous accorde. He loves the sheep so much that he willingly sacrificed his life for them. Jehovah will help us to control our feelings and take every measures to limit the damage we may have, avoiding good and spiritual things that he provides for us. Jésus aime tellement les brebis qu'il a bien voulu sacrifier sa vie pour elles. She was very impressed that we had done this using our new book. " Jesus loves the sheep so much that he wanted to sacrifice his life for them. Elle a été très impressionnée de savoir que nous l'avions fait en nous servant de notre nouveau livre. When they learned that Hurricane Katrina had destroyed hundreds of homes of fellow Witnesses, brotherly love moved them to quit their jobs, give up their apartment, buy a secondhand trailer, fix it up, and travel 900 miles [1,400 km] to Louisiana. It was very impressed to know that we knew it by using our new book. Ils ont appris que l'ouragan Katrina avait détruit les maisons de centaines de Témoins. Mus par l'amour fraternel, ils ont alors quitté leur emploi et leur appartement, acheté une caravane d'occasion qu'ils ont aménagée, et parcouru 1 400 kilomètres jusqu'en Louisiane. 14, 15. They learned that HAVE destroyed the houses of hundreds of Witnesses, and by brotherly love, they left their job and assigned them, for some opportunity they had purchased, and 1 miles [1,600 km] away. 14, 15. Back in 537 B.C.E., it was the acceptable time for the exiles in Babylon to return to their homeland. 14, 15. ." Les Juifs exilés à Babylone ont connu un "temps agréé " quand ils ont pu rentrer chez eux en 537 av. n. è. Such publications as the "Bible Teach " book help us to maintain unity in our teaching The Jews in Babylon experienced a " acceptable time " when they returned home in 537 B.C.E. Des publications telles que le livre "Qu'enseigne la Bible? " nous aident à préserver l'unité de notre enseignement. I did not turn in the opposite direction. " Such publications as the Bible Teach book help us to maintain the unity of our teaching. Je ne me suis pas tourné dans la direction opposée. To "flee from fornication " is to avoid not only acts of por·neiʹa but also pornography, moral uncleanness, sexual fantasizing, flirting - anything that can lead to fornication. - Matt. I did not turn in the opposite direction. " " Fuir la fornication ', ce n'est pas seulement s'abstenir de commettre des actes de pornéïa, c'est aussi s'abstenir de la pornographie, de l'impureté morale, des rêveries impures, du flirt - bref, de tout ce qui peut mener à la fornication. - Mat. Note who were instructed to attend gatherings for worship: men, women, and little ones. " Flee from fornication, " not only from committing immorality, but also abstaining from pornography, uncleanness, hurtful desire, and flirting, all that can lead to fornication. - Matt. Notez à qui s'adressait l'ordre de se rassembler pour adorer: aux hommes, aux femmes et aux petits. Why was it relatively convenient for the disciples to travel in the Roman Empire? Note how the order to gather together to worship - men, women, and young ones. Qu'est - ce qui facilitait les déplacements des disciples dans l'Empire romain? So the betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot was treachery of the worst sort. What made the disciples traveling in the Roman Empire? Judas Iscariote s'est donc révélé un traître de la pire espèce. Today, one of the Devil's snares is to lead Christians into thinking that if they go as far as possible in trying to show that Jehovah's Witnesses are just like other people, they will succeed in drawing some to Christian truth. So Judas Iscariot proved to be a treacherous poison of the worst. Aujourd'hui, l'un des pièges du Diable consiste à faire croire aux chrétiens que s'ils vont le plus loin possible pour montrer que les Témoins de Jéhovah sont comme tout le monde ils attireront des gens vers la vérité chrétienne. Why, though, should we trust Jehovah's guidance above all other? Today, one of the snares of the Devil is to make Christians believe that if they go as far as possible to prove that Jehovah's Witnesses are just as the world will attract people to Christian truth. Pourquoi, au juste, devrions - nous nous fier à la direction de Jéhovah plus qu'à aucune autre? What responsibility do we as Jehovah's loyal worshippers have? Why should we trust Jehovah's guidance more than any other? Quelle responsabilité les adorateurs de Jéhovah ont - ils? We will also discuss how Jesus ' love moves Christians to take positive action in times of hardship, disaster, and illness. What responsibility do Jehovah's worshippers have? Nous verrons aussi comment, à l'exemple de Jésus, nous pouvons tous venir en aide à nos compagnons qui sont frappés par la crise économique, les catastrophes naturelles ou encore la maladie. We read: "He did likewise respecting the cup also, after he had the evening meal, saying: " This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood. ' " We will also see how all of us can help fellow believers who are experiencing economic hardships, natural disasters, or sickness. On lit: " Il a fait de même à l'égard de la coupe aussi, après avoir pris le repas, en disant: "Cette coupe représente la nouvelle alliance grâce à mon sang " ." What exciting prospects! We read: "He did likewise respecting the cup also, after he took the meal, saying: " This cup means the new covenant by virtue of my blood. ' " N'est - ce pas une perspective exaltante? I knew that this practice was wrong but told myself that my service to God was still acceptable. " What a thrilling prospect! Je savais que cette habitude était mauvaise, mais je me disais que Dieu acceptait toujours mon service. The apostle Paul encouraged Timothy to nourish himself "with the words of the faith and of the fine teaching. " I knew that this practice was bad, but I felt that God always accepted my service. L'apôtre Paul a encouragé Timothée à se nourrir " des paroles de la foi et du bel enseignement ." Do you have faith that God will fill your needs for love and companionship in a satisfying way? The apostle Paul encouraged Timothy to " feed themselves with the words of the faith and of the fine teaching. ' Es - tu persuadé que Dieu comblera ton besoin d'amour et de compagnie? For example, on the evening before Jesus was executed, there "arose a heated dispute among them over which one of them was considered to be the greatest. " Do you believe that God will fulfill your need for love and association? Pourtant, Jésus était convaincu que ses disciples imparfaits pouvaient croître spirituellement et former une congrégation unie. The doctor quickly hid the book. * Yet, Jesus was convinced that his imperfect followers could grow spiritually and train a united congregation. " Le médecin a vite caché son livre *. How can God's Word bring comfort when others deride us? The doctor quickly hid his book. Comment la Parole de Dieu peut - elle nous consoler lorsqu'on se moque de nous? All day long it is my concern. " How can God's Word comfort us when we ridicule? Tout au long du jour elle occupe mes pensées. (b) How did Jesus emphasize the need for endurance? All day long it is my concern. " b) Comment Jésus a - t - il montré à ses disciples qu'ils auraient besoin d'endurer? The fact is, millions of heterosexuals who wish to conform to the Bible's standards employ self - control despite any temptations they might face. (b) How did Jesus show his disciples that they would need to endure? Le fait est que, face à la tentation, des millions d'hétérosexuels souhaitant se conformer aux normes bibliques exercent la maîtrise de soi. " The tongue, " warns the disciple James, "not one of mankind can get it tamed. " The fact is that millions in the face of temptation desire to live by Bible standards exercise self - control. " La langue, personne parmi les humains ne peut la dompter ," nous avertit le disciple Jacques. Interestingly, in ancient Greece, if a man struck his parents, he would lose all his civil rights; in Roman law, to strike a father was as serious as murder. " The tongue, no one among mankind can get it up, " warns the disciple James. Par exemple, dans la Grèce antique, si un homme frappait ses parents, il perdait ses droits de citoyen. Et selon la loi romaine, frapper son père était aussi grave que commettre un meurtre. Unlike Roman law, Christian teachings required a husband to honor his wife For example, in ancient Greece, he lost his rights as a citizen, and according to Roman law, his father was as serious as committing murder. Contrairement au droit romain, les enseignements chrétiens imposaient au mari d'assigner de l'honneur à sa femme. Thus, what Paul saw in vision was elevated or exalted. Unlike the Roman law, Christian teachings affect the husband for giving honor to his wife. Partant, ce que Paul a vu en vision était élevé. How did this come about? Clearly, what Paul saw in vision was exalted. Quelles étapes ont conduit à ce changement? What are five factors that can help us to avoid becoming enraged against God? What steps led to that change? Qu'est - ce qui nous empêchera d'entrer " en fureur contre Jéhovah "? Jehovah, however, intervened, preventing Pharaoh from violating Sarah. What will prevent us from becoming "enraged against Jehovah "? Jéhovah était alors intervenu pour empêcher celui - ci de la violer. That's one reason why a girl named Allison customized her settings so that only her close circle of friends could see her posts. Jehovah then intervened in order to prevent him from breaking him. C'est une des raisons pour lesquelles Allison a personnalisé ses paramètres de façon à ce que seuls ses proches puissent voir son actualité. Because Aristarchus and Gaius walked in Jehovah's ways, they had God - given strength and courage to endure persecution. That is one reason why Jehovah has treated his friends in a way that alone can see his modern - day life. En conséquence, ils ont reçu de Dieu la force et le courage dont ils avaient besoin pour endurer la persécution. Like literal birth pangs, these "pangs of distress " will no doubt continue to intensify until Christ " completes his conquest ' by destroying every vestige of Satan's visible organization. As a result, they received God's strength and courage to endure persecution. Conformément à la prophétie de Jésus relative au "signe de [sa] présence et de l'achèvement du système de choses ," leur chevauchée s'est traduite par la guerre, la famine et la plaie meurtrière. [ Picture on page 32] In line with Jesus ' prophecy about "the presence and the conclusion of the system of things, " their ride has been translated by war, famine, and plague. [ Illustration, page 32] Note, for instance, these comforting words: "Jehovah is giving support to all who are falling, and is raising up all who are bowed down. " [ Picture on page 32] Témoin ces paroles réconfortantes: "Jéhovah soutient tous ceux qui tombent, et il relève tous ceux qui sont courbés. Both groups must remain humble. Note these comforting words: "Jehovah is giving support to all who are falling, and is raising up all who are bowed down. " Les deux groupes doivent rester humbles. The branches collectively represent "the full number " of those included in the secondary part of Abraham's seed. Both groups must remain humble. L'ensemble des branches représente le "nombre complet " de ceux qui sont inclus dans la partie secondaire de la semence d'Abraham. " We are members belonging to one another. " - EPH. The body of branches represents the complete number of those included in the secondary part of Abraham's seed. " Nous sommes des membres qui appartiennent les uns aux autres ." (Read Matthew 19: 29.) " We are members belonging to one another. " - 1 COR. (Lire Matthieu 19: 29.) Jesus highly praised him but stated that John would not be included in the heavenly Kingdom. (Read Matthew 19: 29.) Citons Jean le Baptiste. Jésus a parlé de lui en termes très élogieux, mais il a également indiqué que Jean ne ferait pas partie du Royaume des cieux. Jehovah instructed Noah to build an ark shaped like a huge chest. John the Baptist, for example, spoke highly of him, but John also indicated that John would be no part of the Kingdom of the heavens. Il lui a ordonné de construire une arche qui aurait la forme d'un coffre immense. The two meanings are complementary, and both are important. He ordered Moses to build an ark that would have the form of a huge offer. Les deux versions sont complémentaires, chacune a son importance. The apostle Paul showed that working hard for Jehovah leads to our having "the full assurance of the hope down to the end. " Both translations are added, each of which is of its importance. L'apôtre Paul a montré que travailler dur pour Jéhovah procure " la pleine certitude de l'espérance jusqu'à la fin ." Rather, Jehovah provided information that we need in order to understand his purposes and to live our lives in harmony with them. The apostle Paul showed that working hard to Jehovah brings "the full assurance of hope to the end. " Par contre, il nous a fourni les informations nécessaires pour comprendre ses desseins et nous y conformer. The apostle Paul wrote: "Who has come to know the mind of Jehovah, that he may instruct him? " On the other hand, he provided the information needed to understand his purposes and to live in harmony with it. L'apôtre Paul a écrit: "Qui est parvenu à connaître la pensée de Jéhovah, pour l'instruire? Yours is the kingdom, O Jehovah, the One also lifting yourself up as head over all. " - 1 Chronicles 29: 11. The apostle Paul wrote: "Who has come to know the mind of Jehovah, to instruct him? À toi est le royaume, ô Jéhovah, Celui qui t'élève aussi en chef au - dessus de tout. " - 1 Chroniques 29: 11. (a) What did Paul mean when he wrote: "By your faith... you are standing "? You are the kingdom, O Jehovah, the One who also lifts you up as head over everything. " - 1 Chronicles 29: 11. a) Que voulait dire Paul quand il a écrit: " C'est par votre foi que vous êtes debout "? Servants of Jehovah no longer need to tithe. (a) What did Paul mean when he wrote: "It is by your faith that you are standing "? Les serviteurs de Jéhovah ne sont plus tenus de donner la dîme. Telling the Jews to surrender no doubt tested Jeremiah's obedience as well. Jehovah's people are no longer under obligation to provide tithing. La mission d'inviter les Juifs à se rendre a sans nul doute aussi mis à l'épreuve l'obéissance de Jérémie. The Bible foretold a time when people of diverse languages would hear its life - giving message. Jeremiah's commission to invite the Jews may also have tested Jeremiah's obedience. La Bible a annoncé également une époque où des humains de toutes langues entendraient son message de vie. True, Jehovah does not perform such miracles in behalf of his people today, but he does bless their acts of faith.

Nevertheless, we are firmly convinced that it is beneficial to cooperate with Jehovah regard to the positive change he has given. Il n'est pas étonnant qu'après avoir écrit aux Hébreux, Paul ait encouragé Timothée, son fils spirituel, à " fai [re] tout [s] on possible pour [...] expose [r] correctement la parole de la vérité ." If we are to encourage others, what counsel of the apostle Paul must we take to heart?

" Les parents ne doivent pas abandonner à d'autres la formation spirituelle de leurs enfants; ils doivent suivre de près l'aide que les frères et sœurs apportent et continuer à enseigner eux - mêmes leurs enfants.

In 1998, he sold more than eight percent of tobacco, which cost him the best plant. Quelle victoire pour Jéhovah et quel coup pour Satan! (b) How have the anointed responded to the shout: "Here is the bridegroom "? What a victory for Jehovah, and what a victory for Satan! Quel lien existe - t - il entre "les fils du royaume " et la foule toujours plus nombreuse des futurs sujets terrestres du Royaume? Yes, love of Jehovah God motivates us to observe his commandments.

Later, Solomon was inspired to write: "Whenever you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it, for he finds no pleasure in the stupid ones. So let us consider these questions: Why are encouragement vital? Ainsi, plutôt que de préciser à quoi ressemblait le bon Samaritain, Jésus a donné une indication bien plus importante: il a parlé de l'aide que le Samaritain a apportée avec compassion à un Juif blessé étendu sur la route. In a selfish and nationalistic world, it is refreshing to find individuals who can and do look beyond national borders. Thus, rather than telling what was represented by the neighborly Samaritan, Jesus gave a far more important indication of the help that the Samaritan gave to a Jew on the road. b) Comment les oints ont - ils réagi au cri " Voici l'époux! "? However, when King Jehoiakim ordered that Urijah be put to death, the prophet fled in fear to Egypt. (b) How did the anointed respond to the cry "Here is the bridegroom "?

Le livre biblique d'Esther rapporte qu'un dénommé Hamân, alors premier ministre, a tramé un complot visant à exterminer tous les Juifs vivant dans le vaste Empire perse et a fixé une date pour le génocide. In this illustration, Jesus did not directly say what that fruitage is, but he did mention a significant detail that helps us to determine the answer. The Bible book of Esther tells us that a prime minister named Haman had a plot to annihilate all the Jews living in the vast Persian Empire and set a date for them. Autre élément à prendre en considération: l'organisation divine a grand besoin que des hommes mûrs acceptent des attributions de service. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery causing fear again, but you received a spirit of adoption as sons, by which spirit we cry out: " Abba, Father! ' " - Romans 8: 14, 15. Another factor is that God's organization is a great need for mature men to accept privileges in Jehovah's service. Il se fera un plaisir d'en discuter avec vous.

It helped to protect the Israelites spiritually by prohibiting marriage to false worshippers. (Read Deuteronomy 7: 3, 4.) 23 Who is directing God's people today? Les contemporains de Noé n'ont pas su discerner que celui - ci bénéficiait du soutien de Dieu et qu'il suivait sa direction.

We are wise if we act on the basis of what we see in God's "perfect law, " becoming" doers " of it. The Witnesses taught me that God has a purpose for mankind. Dès lors, même si des situations pénibles nous affligent, ne nous isolons pas; cela n'arrangerait pas les choses. We also have the joy of serving alongside millions of spiritual brothers and sisters, who pursue the same purpose in life. Hence, even if distressing situations cause us pain, we would not be offended; nor would that affect our attitude. aide des millions de gens à discerner ce que la création nous révèle sur le Dieu vivant. Considering all that Noah had to do - building the ark, gathering the animals, stocking the ark with food for humans and animals, preaching a warning message, and keeping his family spiritually strong - it was no small task to do "just so. " Millions of people are helped to discern what creation reveals about the living God. Citez de fidèles serviteurs de Jéhovah qui ont enduré des situations pénibles. Surely we do not want to go in the murderous "path of Cain, " rush into" the erroneous course of Balaam, " or perish in "the rebellious talk of Korah. " What faithful servants of Jehovah who endured distressing circumstances? Dieu a prévu que la vie se transmette par les relations sexuelles dans le cadre d'un mariage honorable. How long shall I call to you for aid from violence, and you do not save? God purposed that life is marked by sexual relations in an honorable marriage. Mais si le conducteur ne la dirige pas constamment à l'aide du volant, elle risque fort de devenir un engin de mort. Jesus Christ set his followers an excellent example as an evangelizer. On the other hand, if the driver does not direct the car to the car, he may be able to become dead. Pour résumer, donnez - vous corps et âme à toute tâche qui vous est confiée, apprenez à l'accomplir de mieux en mieux, et comptez sur le soutien de Jéhovah, pleinement convaincu qu'il vous accordera son esprit. His sayings later became part of the Bible. But in the end, he failed to stay faithful to Jehovah as a spiritual man. In conclusion, offer your body and soul to work at all that is given you, learn to do more fully, and rely on Jehovah's support, fully confident that he will give you his spirit. Cette prophétie s'est accomplie: Jésus Christ, la Semence promise, règne aujourd'hui au ciel. " On the top of the mountains there will be an overflow. " This prophecy has been fulfilled: Jesus Christ, the promised Seed, is now ruling in heaven. • Quelles conditions contribuent à l'efficacité de l'étude individuelle? Ask Jehovah to help you too - perhaps to help you speak to your employer about getting time off for a convention, to give you courage to witness to your neighbor, or to help you in other ways. • What conditions contribute to the effectiveness of personal study? Pourquoi "les pacifiques " sont - ils heureux? In the month of Nisan 1513 B.C.E., Jehovah told Moses and Aaron to convey these unusual instructions to the Israelites: Select a healthy male sheep or goat, slaughter it, and splash its blood on your doorways. Why are "the peaceable " happy? Jéhovah prend une telle promesse au sérieux, et tous ceux qui l'ont faite le devraient aussi. Why were Paul's words to Agrippa so effective? Jehovah takes such a promise seriously, and all those who have done so should likewise. " Quel type d'argile devrions - nous être entre les mains du Grand Potier? His adoring crowd shouted: "A god's voice, and not a man's! " What type of clay should we be in the hands of the Great Potter? Pour être en mesure de faire de bons choix, nous devons absorber "la nourriture solide [qui] est pour les hommes mûrs ." Reasonable concern about our health is natural. To be able to make wise choices, we must absorb "the solid food [who] is for mature men. " Ainsi, la situation ne s'envenime pas, telle une plaie non soignée. When we remember that on one occasion it took just one angel only a single night to "strike down a hundred and eighty - five thousand " of God's enemies, we can be confident that the heavenly army will easily destroy every vestige of Satan's system on earth as the great tribulation culminates in Armageddon. Thus, there is no need for such a plague. Il se fait un fouet avec des cordes et chasse les vendeurs de bovins et de moutons. First, they were willing to ask questions and to search for the real meaning behind Jesus ' words. He does so with the cords and throw them away from cattle and sheep. Comme à Jérémie, le Souverain de l'univers leur a attribué une mission. In his letter to the Hebrew Christians in Jerusalem and Judea, Paul again made reference to features of athletic games or races. Like Jeremiah, the Sovereign of the universe has given them a commission. Le prophète Jérémie a vu se réaliser le message de jugement qu'il avait annoncé. Satan wants you to be so terrified of death that you would willingly barter your integrity for some hollow promise of safety. The prophet Jeremiah saw the fulfillment of the judgment message he had foretold. Jéhovah nous donne cependant les moyens d'apaiser ces tensions; n'en doutons pas. Both of these compositions express the conviction that God hears and answers prayers. Yet, Jehovah provides us with the means to cope with such stress; he does not doubt. Leur confiance dans le temple, auquel ils accordaient quasiment un pouvoir protecteur, n'a pas sauvé les Juifs. Major - General James Franklin Bell of the U.S. Their confidence in the temple, which seemed to be filled with a protective power, did not salvation the Jews. ." Elle était éprise d'un berger des environs. To please Jehovah, we surely " must not sit in the seat of ridiculers. ' She was a shepherd in the area. Même parmi ceux qui pensent adorer Dieu de la bonne façon, beaucoup sont enchaînés par des croyances fausses et des rites inutiles. Some may not be available to all Christians, but all of us can participate in the work of preaching the good news of the Kingdom. Even some who think that they do not worship God in the right way, many turn away from false religious beliefs and religious practices. Nous faisons preuve de sagesse si nous agissons en fonction de ce que nous voyons dans la "loi parfaite " de Dieu, si nous devenons des" pratiquants " de cette loi. God's spirit can do the same for us. We are wise if we act in harmony with what we see in God's "perfect law, " if we become" doers " of that law. Nous avons également la joie de servir Jéhovah aux côtés de millions de frères et sœurs spirituels, qui poursuivent le même but. It is the gift of God. " We also have the joy of serving Jehovah alongside millions of spiritual brothers and sisters, who pursue the same goal. Ce n'était pas rien, étant donné toutes les responsabilités qui lui avaient été confiées: construire l'arche, rassembler les animaux, stocker de la nourriture pour lui et sa famille ainsi que pour les bêtes, prêcher un message d'avertissement et veiller à la spiritualité des siens. I shall make myself resemble the Most High. ' " This was not all the responsibilities given to him - building the ark, building the animals, preparing food for him, and his family, preaching a warning message, and keeping the spirituality of his family. Nous ne voulons certainement pas aller dans le "chemin de Caïn " l'assassin, ni nous jeter dans" l'égarement de Balaam ," ni périr dans "les propos séditieux de Qorah ." Noah's sons evidently appreciated the need to do Jehovah's will. Surely we do not want to go to "the wicked one of Cain, " or throw us off" the misleading of Balaam, " or perish in "the words of Korah. " Jusqu'à quand t'appellerai - je à l'aide contre la violence sans que tu sauves? What support is assured for us? How long will I call for help against violence without you? " Jésus Christ a laissé à ses disciples l'exemple d'un évangélisateur de premier ordre. King David humbly looked to Jehovah for guidance, and Jehovah blessed him. Jesus Christ set the example of an early evangelizer. Pourtant, à la fin de sa vie, il a laissé sa relation avec Jéhovah s'affaiblir et il n'est pas resté fidèle. Then we must make certain that our request is in harmony with Jehovah's will and is offered in Jesus ' name. Yet, at the end of his life, he allowed his relationship with Jehovah to weaken and remain faithful. En général, il n'y a pas de cultures sur le sommet des montagnes. If so, you have been richly blessed. In general, there is no cultures on the top of the mountains. De t'aider peut - être à demander à ton employeur un congé pour une assemblée, de te donner le courage de prêcher à un voisin ou de te soutenir d'une autre manière. Today she endeavors to help others who initially oppose. You might ask an employer to leave you for a convention, to give you the courage to preach to a neighbor, or to help you in some other way. Au mois de Nisan 1513 av. n. è., Jéhovah a demandé à Moïse et à Aaron de transmettre aux Israélites ces instructions étonnantes: Choisissez un bélier ou un bouc sans défaut, tuez - le et appliquez son sang autour de votre porte. In fact, all Christians must be on guard against idolatry and the infiltration of sexual immorality into the congregation. - Jude 3, 4. On Nisan 1513 B.C.E., Jehovah instructed Moses and Aaron to convey these shocking instructions: Choose a ram or a goat without blemish, you should apply it and apply his blood all around your door. Pourquoi les propos de Paul ont - ils eu de l'effet sur Agrippa? However, as time went on and the Christian congregation was about to be established, the role of an apostle became an "office of oversight. " - Acts 1: 20 - 26. Why did Paul's words affect Agrippa? La foule en adoration s'est écriée: " Voix d'un dieu, et non d'un homme! Another account that might seem puzzling to some involves David's attempt to bring the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem. The crowd in worship cried out: "Your Ten Commandments of a god, not of a man! Il est normal de nous soucier dans une mesure raisonnable de notre santé. * Clearly, false teachings, including predestination, do not glorify God. It is normal for us to be concerned about a reasonable degree of health. Songez plutôt: il n'a fallu à un seul ange qu'une seule nuit pour " abattre cent quatre - vingt - cinq mille ' ennemis de Dieu. Comme il sera facile à l'armée céleste d'éliminer toute trace du système de Satan sur la terre lorsque la grande tribulation aboutira à Har - Maguédôn! Do you heed Bible - based warnings about the Internet? Think, though, of just one night when the great tribulation will flow "a hundred thousand - five thousand " of God's enemies, just as it would be easy to eliminate Satan's entire wicked army on earth when the great tribulation will flow at Armageddon! Premièrement, parce qu'ils étaient disposés à poser des questions et à chercher la signification réelle des paroles de Jésus. What does that mean? First, because they were willing to ask questions and seek the real meaning of Jesus ' words. Dans sa lettre aux chrétiens de Jérusalem et de Judée, Paul a de nouveau évoqué certaines caractéristiques des jeux athlétiques ou des courses. Some Israelites were on their way to bury a man. In his letter to Christians in Jerusalem and Judea, Paul again referred to certain features of creation or shopping. Satan souhaite que vous soyez si terrifié par la mort que vous préfériez troquer votre intégrité contre une vaine promesse de sécurité. Because Jehovah examines the heart, he has shown consideration even toward unbelievers. Satan wants you to be so struck by death that you like to compromise your integrity on an empty promise of security. Ces deux chants appuient l'idée que Dieu entend les prières et y répond. It would be fitting for each of us to ask: " Frankly, how much emphasis do I put on my home and its decoration? These two songs help the idea that God hears prayers and answers them. Pour plaire à Jéhovah, nous ne devons pas non plus " nous asseoir sur le siège des moqueurs '. As holy people, we prove by the way we live our lives that Jehovah's laws are good and that Satan's accusations are false. To please Jehovah, we must not " sit on the seat of ridiculers. ' Certaines formes du service sacré ne sont peut - être pas accessibles à chacun de nous, mais nous pouvons tous participer à la prédication de la bonne nouvelle du Royaume. He spent time with them, took them into his confidence, and " made known to them all the things he had heard from his Father. ' Some forms of sacred service may not be available to each one of us, but all of us can share in preaching the good news of the Kingdom. L'esprit de Dieu peut en faire autant pour nous. What three questions will we consider, and why? God's spirit can do the same for us. C'est le don de Dieu. 16, 17. (a) What will be accomplished before "the great tribulation " is finished? It is God's gift. ' ." The world is alienated from Jehovah and ruled by a cruel god who enslaves people. What is it? ' " Ses fils comprenaient manifestement l'importance de faire la volonté divine. Another reward was on the way, though. His sons evidently understood the importance of doing God's will. Quel soutien pouvons - nous être certains de recevoir? How did the courage shown by Paul and Barnabas reflect their deep love for people? What help may we be able to receive? Le roi David a recherché humblement la direction divine, ce qui lui a valu d'être béni. All servants in the congregation were to be appointed theocratically under the oversight of "the faithful and discreet slave. " King David humbly sought Jehovah's guidance, and that resulted in his blessing. Vérifions d'abord qu'elle soit conforme à la volonté de Jéhovah et présentée au nom de Jésus. 17, 18.

Today, she strives to help those who begin to oppose the faith of their relatives. En réalité, tous les chrétiens doivent se méfier de l'idolâtrie et veiller à ce que l'immoralité sexuelle ne pénètre pas dans la congrégation. - Jude 3, 4. Parents may find that when they consider their children's thoughts about house rules, the children are more inclined to understand the rules and to obey them. In fact, all Christians need to guard against idolatry and make sure that sexual immorality does not enter into the congregation. - Jude 3, 4. Cependant, avec le temps, la fonction des apôtres a évolué. Elle était qualifiée de "fonction de surveillance " peu avant la fondation de la congrégation chrétienne. - Actes 1: 20 - 26. (Read 1 Thessalonians 5: 1, 2.) In time, though, the appointment of the apostles was changed, but it was called "like oversight " shortly before the founding of the Christian congregation. - Acts 1: 20 - 26. Au nombre des récits qui en déconcertent quelques - uns figure également celui dans lequel David cherche à faire apporter l'arche de l'alliance à Jérusalem. Explain. The many accounts that reveal are also the one David sought to make the ark of the covenant in Jerusalem. Manifestement, les faux enseignements, y compris la prédestination, ne glorifient pas Dieu. Before he gave a final witness, all those in the Sanhedrin "saw that his face was as an angel's face. " Clearly, false teachings, including hyperbole, do not glorify God. Tenez - vous compte des avertissements relatifs à Internet? And we avoid passing on gossip or relating dubious experiences that cannot be verified. Do you heed warnings about the Internet? Qu'est - ce que cela signifie? [ Picture on page 26] What does that mean? C'est parce que Jéhovah examine le cœur qu'il a fait montre de considération même à l'égard de non - croyants. On the other hand, David's life course and his intimate relationship with Jehovah identify him as a truly God - fearing man. This is because Jehovah examines his heart because he has shown consideration even to unbelievers. Il serait bien que chacun de nous se demande: " Franchement, quelle importance est - ce que j'attache à ma maison et à sa décoration? Whether the crown was literal or was symbolic of added glory because of David's many victories is not stated. It would be good for all of us to ask ourselves: " Really, what important is it that I place in my house and in its house? En tant que peuple saint, nous montrons par notre mode de vie que les lois de Jéhovah sont bonnes et les accusations de Satan, mensongères. How was true freedom lost? As God's holy people, we show by our lifestyle that Jehovah's laws are good and false. Il a passé du temps avec eux, s'est confié à eux et " leur a fait connaître toutes les choses qu'il avait entendues de son Père '. Why, new clothes need constant care to keep them looking clean and presentable. He spent time with them and " made known to them all the things he had heard from his Father. ' " À quelles questions allons - nous répondre, et pourquoi? 12: 4; Matt. What questions will we consider, and why? 16, 17. a) Qu'est - ce qui s'accomplira avant la fin de "la grande tribulation "? 2: 9 - 11. 16, 17. (a) What will be accomplished before the end of "the great tribulation "? En effet, le monde est éloigné de Jéhovah et il est dominé par Satan, un dieu cruel qui asservit les humains. 19: 12. Yes, the world is alienated from Jehovah and is ruled by Satan, a cruel god who misuses humans. Mais une autre joie nous attendait. (b) Who are "the priests of Jehovah " and" the foreigners " mentioned by Isaiah? But another joy awaits us. Pourquoi peut - on dire que le courage de Paul et de Barnabas venait de leur amour sincère pour les gens? And the more we love divine truths, the easier it is to carry our "breastplate, " that is, to live by God's righteous standards. Why can it be said that Paul's courage and Barnabas had love for people? Tous les serviteurs des congrégations devaient à présent être nommés de manière théocratique sous la direction de "l'esclave fidèle et avisé ." Those who are now dominated by the spirit of the world can break free from its influence and allow holy spirit to guide their lives. All in the congregations needed to be appointed theocraticly under the direction of "the faithful and discreet slave. " 17, 18. Jesus also recommended singleness for those who "can make room for it. " 17, 18. Pourquoi ils sont sûrs Your next goal could be to participate by offering a brief but heartfelt comment. Why can they be sure of this?

Ils constateront alors sans doute que, quand leur avis a été pris en considération, les enfants comprennent mieux les règles de la maison et les suivent plus facilement.

" - Micah 6: 8. Explain. Avant qu'il ne donne le témoignage pour la dernière fois, tous les membres du Sanhédrin "virent que son visage était comme un visage d'ange ." He told Moses: "Unquestionably I have seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their outcry as a result of those who drive them to work; because I well know the pains they suffer. Before he gives a witness for the last time, all members of the Sanhedrin "saw that his face was like an angel's face. " Nous ne répétons pas non plus les commérages ni ne racontons d'anecdotes douteuses invérifiables. God had her actions and words recorded in the Bible. Moreover, we do not give up on those who are not known to others or who have been able to share with them in other ways.

[ Picture on page 26] David, lui, était un homme qui craignait vraiment Dieu; sa vie et son intimité avec Jéhovah en témoignent. In a spiritual sense, you too can say that you have "found the Messiah " today. David proved to be a God - fearing man, his life, and intimacy with Jehovah. Il n'est pas précisé s'il s'agit d'une couronne au sens littéral ou, symboliquement, d'une couronne de gloire obtenue par David en raison de ses nombreuses victoires. It was Jehovah's purpose that the descendants of Adam and Eve fill the earth. It is not said that it is a literal crown, a crown of glory, with its many victories. Comment la vraie liberté a - t - elle été perdue? The sons of Israel are reminded of an important lesson they learned in the wilderness: "Not by bread alone does man live but by every expression of Jehovah's mouth does man live. " How was true freedom lost? Des vêtements neufs n'ont - ils pas besoin d'être constamment entretenus pour rester propres et présentables? Those who were unloving engaged in backbiting and bickering. - Gal. Do nineer garments not need to be kept clean in order to remain clean and helpful? 12: 4; Mat. Because he has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has furnished a guarantee to all men in that he has resurrected him from the dead. " - Acts 17: 30, 31. 12: 4; Matt. 2: 9 - 11. Authorities report hundreds of instances of nuclear material being "lost. " 2: 9 - 11. 19: 12. Jehovah's own priceless Book is very clear about this. 19: 12. b) Qui sont les "prêtres de Jéhovah " et les" étrangers " mentionnés par Isaïe? The Bible has been a source of help to Jehovah's faithful servants for many centuries. (b) Who are "the foreigners of Jehovah " and" foreigners " mentioned by Isaiah? Et plus nous apprenons à aimer ces vérités, plus il devient facile pour nous de porter notre " cuirasse ," c'est - à - dire d'obéir aux normes de justice de Dieu. And when he was five years old, he gave his first talk in the Theocratic Ministry School. And the more we learn to love these truths, the easier it becomes to wear our " breastplate " - to obey God's standards of righteousness. Ceux qui sont actuellement sous l'emprise de l'esprit du monde peuvent s'en défaire et se laisser guider par l'esprit saint. Behind the scenes, these sex perverts derive pleasure from the evil and debased actions of those whom they can corrupt on the earth. - Eph. Those who are now under the control of the world's spirit can rid themselves of bitterness and let themselves be guided by holy spirit.

Your goal could include a brief comment, but it is sincere. Comme j'ai été avec Moïse, je serai avec toi. Jehovah raises up the prophet Haggai and two months later the prophet Zechariah to speak His word. As I was with Moses, I shall prove to be with you.

Il a dit à Moïse: "Vraiment, j'ai vu l'affliction de mon peuple qui est en Égypte et j'ai entendu leur clameur à cause de ceux qui les poussent au travail, car je connais bien les douleurs qu'ils subissent. In the illustration of the olive tree, the natural Jews who rejected Jesus are likened to olive branches that were "broken off. " He told Moses: "Truly I saw the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and I heard their outcry as a result of those who drive them to work, because I well know the pains they suffer. Or, la crainte de Dieu, la vraie, est bien autre chose que de la peur et, comme nous allons le voir, elle ne se résume pas à un sentiment. And because it is patient, kind, and forgiving, it is "a perfect bond of union. " However, the fear of God is something more important than fear and, as we shall see, it is not surprising.

Roman Catholics feel duty - bound to bring up their children in the Catholic faith, and they are rarely criticized for endeavoring to do so. When Satan deceived Eve and Adam disobeyed, God did not give up on His purpose. Les fils d'Israël réentendent une leçon importante qu'ils ont apprise dans le désert: "L'homme ne vit pas de pain seul, mais [...] l'homme vit de toute déclaration de la bouche de Jéhovah.

" In the illustration of the olive tree, the Jews who rejected Jesus are likened to branches that have been "filled with. " Et comme il est patient, bon et disposé à pardonner, c'est un " lien d'union parfait ." This "invisible forest " cleans our air by drawing out billions of tons of carbon dioxide.

Reste qu'il ne tient pas compte de l'avertissement de sa mère de ne pas s'approcher de la flaque, et qu'il va très probablement s'attirer des ennuis.

(a) Why may Christians find it difficult to exhibit mildness in dealing with secular authorities? Did Jehovah bless her? Quelle joie a - t - elle retirée d'avoir assisté à cette réunion! Today, the Governing Body represents the faithful and discreet slave class. How happy she was that she attended that meeting! ." À propos des réunions chrétiennes, l'apôtre Paul a écrit sous l'inspiration divine: "Considérons - nous les uns les autres pour nous inciter à l'amour et aux belles œuvres, n'abandonnant pas notre assemblée, comme c'est l'habitude de quelques - uns, mais nous encourageant mutuellement, et cela d'autant plus que vous voyez approcher le jour. ." He would have to suffer terribly and then be put to death. Regarding Christian meetings, the apostle Paul wrote under inspiration: "Let us consider one another to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you behold the day drawing near. " CANTIQUES: 79, 140 6, 7. SONGS TO BE USED: 79, 52 1, 2. a) Quelle différence y a - t - il entre l'espérance des vrais chrétiens et celle de beaucoup de gens? Clearly, Jehovah is pleased with those who put their complete trust in him. 1, 2. (a) How does the hope of true Christians differ from that of many people? C'est parce que vous vous êtes présentés à ma porte avec la Bible, et vous me l'avez lue. On the other hand, we may be stern and unbending in our evaluation of sincere individuals whose personality traits annoy us. That is because you came to my door with the Bible, and you have read it. " Bien que différentes, les émotions qui les habitent sont d'une grande intensité. As upholders of Jehovah's sovereignty, how do our activities compare with those of earlier integrity keepers? Although we are different, the emotions that dwell upon them are great. Jéhovah bénit et protège ceux qui lui obéissent He was hot - tempered. Jehovah Blessed and protects Those Who Obey Him b) Qu'avez - vous retenu des exemples de Siméon et d'Anne? Such symptoms should not be taken as definite proof of abuse. (b) What have you learned from the examples of Simeon and Anna? Pierre nous presse de faire tout notre possible pour être trouvés "sans tache ." In helping weak ones, we take the initiative and are gentle and earnest Peter urges us to do all we can to be found "without blemish. " " Cette " forêt invisible ' nettoie l'air dont nous avons besoin en le déchargeant de milliards de tonnes de gaz carbonique. The most widely taught foreign language is English, which is used to communicate internationally for commercial, political, scientific, and technological purposes. " This " invisible forest ' will not be likened to the air we need by delivering up of billions of poisonous refreshment. ," ou Joseph, le fils de Jacob, qui a résisté aux avances de la femme de Potiphar et s'est enfui? (lire Genèse 39: 10 - 12). Can you recall how you felt when you first learned these and other precious truths? (Read Genesis 39: 10 - 12.) Ce faisant, ils ont accompli l'ordre prophétique de Jérémie, où il s'agissait en quelque sorte de fuir, de quitter un endroit pour se rendre dans un autre. What made Jesus happy? By doing so, they fulfilled Jeremiah's prophetic command, where it was like to flee from a place to go into another place. Le chapitre 3 du livre Connaissance signale que le mot "Trinité " ne figure pas dans la Bible. The apostles return from a preaching campaign and relate to Jesus all that they have done and taught. Chapter 3 of the book notes that the word "generation " is not found in the Bible. Comment établir un budget? 43: 10 - 12. How can you establish a budget? Il a également parlé avec Matthieu Lévi, un collecteur d'impôts. Love of God motivates us to bear witness He also spoke with Matthew, a tax collector. Ils vont chacun par ses chemins, ils ne changent pas leurs sentiers. Also, if your right hand is making you stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. They will not change their own paths. Que dire de quelqu'un qui aurait un penchant pour l'alcool, mais qui veillerait à ne pas boire au point d'être visiblement ivre? Attempting to sell a car to a prospective buyer, he described all its good points as well as its faults, including those that could not be seen. What about someone who has a tendency toward alcohol but who was careful not to drink the point of being previously drunk? Il règne dans l'ensemble de la congrégation davantage de chaleur et d'amour. However, in time a question arose about one key obligation - male circumcision. He will rule as a whole with greater warmth and love. • Qu'implique le fait de se vouer à Dieu? (a) How did the gift of free will distinguish Adam from other forms of life in Eden? • What is involved in dedication to God? Ainsi, Jésus ne s'est pas servi de pain sans levain par hasard. Moses himself had asked Jehovah: "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt? " Thus, Jesus did not use unleavened bread. 18, 19. a) Pourquoi des chrétiens peuvent - ils trouver difficile de faire preuve de douceur envers les autorités? He later made his thoughts known to Hebrew - speaking Bible writers, such as Moses, Samuel, and David, and they expressed these thoughts in their own words and style. 18, 19. (a) Why can it be difficult for Christians to exhibit mildness toward secular authorities? Aujourd'hui, le Collège central représente l'esclave fidèle et avisé. He blamed her religion for any unreasonable conduct on his part. Today, the Governing Body represents the faithful and discreet slave. Il allait souffrir horriblement, puis il serait mis à mort. Modern aviation equipment allows a pilot to use onboard navigation instruments and to keep in touch with air traffic controllers along the way so as to reach his planned destination. He would suffer emotional pain and then be put to death. 6, 7. He spoke to his psychology professor about indecisiveness. 6, 7. Nul doute que Jéhovah est content de ceux qui placent leur entière confiance en lui. In fact, his obedience to God's Word went as far as submitting to death on a torture stake. No doubt Jehovah is pleased with those who trust fully in him. D'autre part, nous portons facilement un jugement dur et inflexible sur des gens sincères dont la personnalité nous dérange. Are You "Rich Toward God "? On the other hand, it is easy for us to have a hard and debilitating judgment on honesthearted ones whose personality is affected. Quelles similitudes y a - t - il entre les activités des défenseurs de la souveraineté de Dieu aujourd'hui et celles des hommes intègres du passé? Another example is that of a woman who grew up in a family in which education was highly valued. What parallels are there between the activities of supporting God's sovereignty today and those of integrity keepers? Il s'emportait facilement. Paragraph 18: As noted, the Greek word rendered "on arriving " at Matthew 24: 46 is a form of the same Greek verb that is rendered" coming " at Matthew 24: 30, 42, 44. [ Picture on page 3] [ Chart on pages 4, 5] THE GREAT TRIBULATION AND BEYOND MODERN FULFILLMENT THE LAST DAYS CORRESPONDING EVENTS IN THE FIRST CENTURY He was easily offended. De tels symptômes ne sont pas des preuves formelles de maltraitance. Thus we display unselfish love for God and for our neighbor. THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING FAITHFUL Such symptoms are not convincing evidence of abuse. Pour aider les faibles, il faut prendre l'initiative, agir avec douceur et être tenace. Can you increase your joy in this exciting activity? To help those who are weak, we need to take the initiative, work with mildness, and be earnest. " La langue étrangère la plus enseignée est l'anglais, qui est utilisé mondialement pour communiquer dans les milieux commercial, politique, scientifique et technique. What must be true of our prayers if we are to receive spiritual sustenance from Jehovah? " The foreign - language language language is English, which is used to communicate in business, political, scientific, and technology. Vous souvenez - vous de ce que vous avez ressenti quand vous avez découvert ces vérités et bien d'autres? The Bible is, of course, our primary tool in the ministry. Do you recall how you felt when you first learned those truths and others about them? Qu'est - ce qui rendait Jésus heureux? JESUS warned his followers that they would meet up with opposition from the nations of the world, and on the evening preceding his death, he explained why. What made Jesus happy? De retour d'une tournée de prédication, les apôtres racontent à Jésus ce qu'ils ont fait et enseigné. One reason is that mankind in general has rejected God as Ruler, not wanting to submit to his righteous laws and principles. Upon returning from a preaching tour, the apostles told Jesus what they did and taught. 43: 10 - 12. What do we learn from these events? 43: 10 - 12. L'amour pour Dieu nous pousse à rendre témoignage. Hebrew words closely related to the one here translated "pity " are used in connection with mercy at Psalm 145: 8, 9, quoted above. Love for God moves us to bear witness. De plus, si ta main droite te fait trébucher, coupe - la et jette - la loin de toi. For over half of his life, he and his family wandered from place to place. Also, if your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. " Un acheteur s'est présenté et le frère a détaillé tous les points forts de son véhicule, mais aussi ses défauts, même ceux qui n'étaient pas apparents. They deliver more tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide than do regular cigarettes. One brother presented himself and explained every detail of his car's strengths and imperfections, even those who were unable to do so. Mais, avec le temps, une question a été soulevée à propos d'une obligation importante, la circoncision. What is more, Jehovah will continue to mold us by means of his Word, spirit, and organization so that one day we will be able to stand before him as perfect "children of God. " - Rom. 8: 21. In time, though, a question was raised regarding an important requirement, circumcision. a) Comment le don du libre arbitre distinguait - il Adam des autres formes de vie en Éden? Property may be lost. Standards of living may drop. Personal freedoms may be curtailed. (a) How did the gift of free will differ from other forms of life in Eden? Lui - même avait demandé à Jéhovah: " Qui suis - je pour que j'aille vers Pharaon et pour que je fasse sortir d'Égypte les fils d'Israël? 4: 9. Did Moses ask Jehovah: "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt? " Non seulement ils ont consigné des déclarations de Dieu, mais ils ont aussi décrit ses relations avec son peuple. Figuratively speaking, they have come to see "the face of Jehovah. " Not only are they recorded in God's utterances but they also described his relationship with his people. Il tentait de justifier la moindre de ses extravagances en accusant la religion de sa femme. An improper romantic relationship could develop within the congregation. He tried to justify any of his car's offer by exposing his wife's religion. Il utilise pour cela les instruments de navigation de l'appareil et reste en contact avec les contrôleurs aériens. Why should we not abandon efforts to help our relatives? For this reason, he uses the instruments with the computer and has stuck with the money. Un jour, il s'est trouvé à parler de l'indécision avec son professeur de psychologie. The second proclamation, "Let everyone calling on the name of Jehovah renounce unrighteousness, " has long intrigued Bible scholars. On one occasion, he found himself reluctant to speak with his teacher about the matter. En fait, pour obéir à la Parole de Dieu, il est allé jusqu'à accepter de mourir sur un poteau de supplice. Being rude does not increase the value of the truth or its impact. In fact, to obey God's Word, he went so far as to accept death on a torture stake. Êtes - vous "riche à l'égard de Dieu "? APRIL 9 - 15, 2012 Are you "rich toward God "? La Bible me parle davantage. The time for "the end " will have come! The Bible speaks to me more. Citons aussi l'exemple de cette femme qui a été élevée dans une famille qui attachait une grande importance à l'instruction. [ Blurb on page 8] Consider, too, the example of a woman who was raised in a family that was of great importance to education. Paragraphe 18: Comme signalé, le terme grec traduit par " en arrivant " en Matthieu 24: 46 est une forme du verbe grec traduit par " venir " ou " vient " en Matthieu 24: 30, 42, 44. Of course, that is his decision to make. Paragraph 18: Since the Greek word translated " arriving " at Matthew 24: 46 is a form of the Greek verb translated" come " or "come " at Matthew 24: 30, 42, 44. " Alors, où est la vérité? The more insight we gain into God's personality, the more inclined we are to love and fear him. This, in turn, contributes to our happiness. So where is the truth? Nous témoignons ainsi un amour désintéressé à Dieu et à nos semblables. (a) How is the Bible like a mirror? We thereby show unselfish love for God and for our fellow humans. Mais pourriez - vous trouver davantage de joie dans cette œuvre exaltante? In his statement found at Romans 12: 18, Paul goes beyond the need to be peaceable within the family circle and in the congregation. But could you find greater joy in this exciting work? Comment devons - nous prier pour que Jéhovah nous accorde un soutien spirituel? Paul also mentioned false worship in another context. How should we pray for spiritual help? Bien sûr, la Bible est notre principal outil dans le ministère. Prevented from preaching in Asia, Paul and his companions turned northward, intending to preach in the cities of Bithynia. Of course, the Bible is our principal tool in the ministry. JÉSUS a prévenu ses disciples qu'ils rencontreraient de l'opposition de la part des nations. Jehovah, the ultimate Parent, is eager to teach us how to walk. JESUS warned his disciples that they would meet opposition from the nations. Une première raison est que l'humanité en général a rejeté la domination de Dieu, refusant de se soumettre à ses lois et à ses principes justes. We see an indication of that in what Paul wrote earlier in his letter. For one reason, mankind in general rejected God's rulership, refusing to submit to his laws and righteous principles. Quelle leçon tirer de cette histoire? How so? What lesson can we learn from this account? " Des mots hébreux proches de celui traduit dans ce verset par "avoir pitié " sont aussi employés en rapport avec la miséricorde en Psaume 145: 8, 9 cité plus haut. The first of such tracts offered "further reading matter to assist in Bible study, with a view to getting rid of all false traditions of men and to the full recovery of the old theology of our Lord and the apostles. " - The Old Theology, No. 1, April 1889, p. The Hebrew words translated "felt pity " are also used in connection with mercy at Psalm 145: 8, quoted above. Accompagné de sa famille, il a passé plus de la moitié de son existence à mener une vie de nomade. Rather than paraphrasing key scriptures, show them directly from the Bible. As a family, he spent more than half of his life in order to live a priest's life. Ils libèrent plus de goudron, de nicotine et de monoxyde de carbone que les cigarettes ordinaires. June 14 - 20, 2010 They set more ice, nicotine, and mine than ordinary cigarettes. De plus, Jéhovah continuera de nous façonner par sa Parole, son esprit et son organisation pour qu'un jour nous puissions être des " enfants [parfaits] de Dieu ." Actually, the support of our spiritual brothers and sisters is crucial to our standing firm when the Devil attacks like a roaring lion. Furthermore, Jehovah will continue to mold us by means of his Word, his spirit, and his organization so that we can be "God's children. " Il se peut que la nourriture vienne à manquer, que des biens soient perdus, que le niveau de vie chute ou que les libertés individuelles soient restreintes. Who Are the Demons? It may be that food comes from missing, material possessions may be lost, that a higher standard of living, or personal freedom may be limited. 4: 9. Quoting from the Hebrew Scriptures, the apostle Peter states God's express will for his earthly servants, saying: "In accord with the Holy One who called you, do you also become holy yourselves in all your conduct, because it is written: " You must be holy, because I am holy. ' " 4: 9. Figurément parlant, ils ont vu "la face de Jéhovah ." That "seed " was primarily Jesus Christ. In a figurative sense, they saw "the face of Jehovah. " Une relation sentimentale illégitime pourrait également naître au sein de la congrégation. Rather, Jesus kindly answered: "Stop being afraid. " A romantic relationship could also develop within the congregation. Pourquoi ne pas renoncer à parler de la vérité aux membres de notre famille? A young man reported to Moses that Eldad and Medad were acting as prophets in the camp - even though they were not present when Jehovah poured out his spirit upon the 70 older men who were to serve as Moses ' helpers. Why not give up on family members? La seconde, " Que tout homme qui nomme le nom de Jéhovah renonce à l'injustice ," intrigue les biblistes depuis longtemps. Picture the Israelites in Bible times praising Jehovah during a festival at his temple in Jerusalem. The second, "that everyone calling on the name of Jehovah renounce unrighteousness, " intrigued Bible scholars long ago. Des remarques blessantes ne donnent pas plus de poids à la vérité et ne nous rendent pas plus persuasifs. By supporting these efforts, we show our zeal for Jehovah's place of pure worship, as Jesus did. - John 2: 17. A cutting remarks does not give us more weight to the truth and make us more persuasive. 9 - 15 AVRIL 2012 7, 8. APRIL 9 - 15, 2012 L'époque de " la fin " sera arrivée!. Today, we are in the race for life, and we face opponents who want to distract us, trip us up, beat us down, and snatch away our joy and future rewards. The time of "the end " will come! Naturellement, la décision lui appartient. But, as Jesus implied in his prayer, by living in this world, we are exposed to "the wicked one. " Of course, the decision belongs to him. Plus nous connaissons la personnalité de Dieu, plus nous sommes portés à l'aimer et à le craindre - ce qui nous rend heureux. As a servant gains experience, he can also be trained in the shepherding work. The more we know God's personality, the closer we are to love him and to fear him - bringing us happiness. a) Pourquoi peut - on comparer la Bible à un miroir? 3: 17; 17: 5. (a) Why can we compare the Bible to a mirror? En Romains 12: 18, Paul élargit le champ d'application de son conseil au - delà du cercle familial et de la congrégation. All of those are possibilities as we "bear thorough witness to the good news. " At Romans 12: 18, Paul will expand the field of applying his counsel beyond the family circle and congregation. Paul a évoqué un autre aspect du faux culte. Table of Contents Paul mentioned another aspect of false worship. " Empêchés de prêcher en Asie, Paul et ses compagnons se sont dirigés vers le nord avec l'intention d'annoncer la bonne nouvelle dans les villes de Bithynie. (b) What should be our attitude toward study, and what benefits can we derive from this important activity? Paul and his companions traveled to the north to proclaim the good news in the cities of Bithynia. Jéhovah est le meilleur des pères; il est heureux de nous apprendre à marcher. This is, of course, only a tradition. Jehovah is the best of fathers, and he is pleased to teach us to walk. C'est ce qu'indiquent les paroles de Paul figurant plus haut dans sa lettre. Keeping integrity means that in our day - to - day life, we will seek above all to please Jehovah God. That is what Paul's words recorded above in his letter. Comment cela? Today, we face similar influences from Satan and his wicked system. How so? Le premier de ces tracts proposait de découvrir "d'autres publications destinées à faciliter l'étude de la Bible, dans le but de balayer toutes les traditions humaines et de rétablir la théologie ancienne de notre Seigneur et des apôtres ." - La théologie ancienne (angl.), n1, avril 1889, p. Eager to see the fulfillment of all the wonderful events that were foretold, the aged apostle John exclaimed: "Amen! The first of these tracts was to learn " other publications designed to help Bible study, to wipe out all human traditions, and to restore the former state of our Lord and apostles. ' Au lieu de paraphraser les versets - clés, ou de les lire sur une page imprimée ou un écran, ouvre la bible, et encourage les assistants à en faire autant. (See the box "Rendering an Account at Death. ") (c) What reward will those judged as sheep receive? Instead of praising the key scriptures or reading them on a printed page or a Bible, opening the Bible, and encouraging them to do so. 14 - 20 juin 2010 They were on their way to a convention at which Milan's parents intended to get baptized. June 14 - 20, 2010 Il est vrai que nous avons absolument besoin du soutien de nos frères et sœurs spirituels pour tenir ferme quand le Diable attaque, tel un lion rugissant. Careful readers of the Bible, however, view the Arch of Titus as having even greater significance. True, we need the support of our spiritual brothers and sisters to stand firm when the Devil attacks such a roaring lion. Qui sont les démons? Those without spiritual understanding today have felt that there has been no "striking observableness " with regard to the sign of Jesus ' presence. Who are the demons? L'apôtre Pierre cite les Écritures hébraïques pour montrer ce que Dieu attend de ceux qui le servent sur la terre: "En accord avec le Saint qui vous a appelés, vous aussi devenez saints dans toute votre conduite, parce qu'il est écrit: " Vous devez être saints, car je suis saint. ' ." See "Keep Yourselves in God's Love, " pages 220 - 221. The apostle Peter quotes the Hebrew Scriptures to show what God requires of those who serve him on earth: "In accord with the Holy One who called you, you also become holy yourselves in all your conduct, because it is written: " You must be holy, for I am holy. ' " Cette "semence " désigne avant tout Jésus Christ. Whatever our economic situation, let us rely on God's spirit and pursue a course of life that will make us "rich toward God. " That "seed " refers primarily to Jesus Christ. Au lieu de tout cela, il a répondu gentiment: "Cesse d'avoir peur. Third, when trials occur and we are tested in some way, God supports us just as he did Job. Instead, he kindly replied: "Stop being afraid. Un jour, un jeune homme l'a informé qu'Eldad et Médad se conduisaient en prophètes dans le camp alors qu'ils n'étaient pas présents au moment où Jéhovah avait répandu son esprit sur les 70 anciens qui devaient le seconder. A Christian wrote to the branch office of Jehovah's Witnesses in France: "Satan is truly cunning. On one occasion, a young man informed the young man that he was engaged in prophets in the camp while they had not been present at the time when Jehovah had poured out his spirit on 70 elders. Imagine les Israélites des temps bibliques qui se rendaient au temple de Jérusalem pour louer Jéhovah lors des fêtes. How can you cultivate tender feelings for others? Imagine the Israelites in Bible times who visited Jerusalem's temple in praising Jehovah at festivals. Nous nous montrerons ainsi, à l'exemple de Jésus, zélés pour les lieux destinés au culte pur. How did Jesus show love to individuals, and with what motive did he do so? We thereby show that we, like Jesus, zeal for the places that are used for pure worship. 7, 8. That is certainly so if we are living a double life, concealing our wrongdoing while pretending to serve God faithfully. 7, 8. Aujourd'hui, nous sommes dans la course pour la vie, et nos adversaires veulent nous distraire, nous faire trébucher, nous mettre à terre et nous enlever notre joie et nos futures récompenses. Does this mean that we cannot express love through our speech? Today, we are in the race for life, and our opposers want to distract us, to put ourselves to the earth, and to remove our joy and future rewards. L'inconvénient, comme Jésus l'a laissé entendre dans sa prière, c'est qu'en vivant dans le monde, nous sommes exposés au "méchant ." 1: 18 - 20; Luke 2: 41, 51. As Jesus indicated in his prayer, we are exposed to "the wicked one. " " Avec le temps, un assistant ministériel pourra être formé dans l'activité pastorale. In this article, we will consider the greatest of these two commandments. In time, a ministerial servant can be trained in shepherding. ." To illustrate: Imagine that a man who is walking on a road suddenly finds that it becomes two diverging paths. 11: 33. Ce sont là autant de situations qui peuvent se présenter lorsque nous "rend [ons] pleinement témoignage à la bonne nouvelle ." Let us consider three ways: He strengthens us when we seek his help to resist temptation, he supports us when we have to deal with apathy or outright opposition, and he buoys us up when anxieties weigh us down. These situations can present themselves when we "bear thorough witness to the good news. " Sommaire In harmony with Jesus ' prayer, Jehovah is indeed watching over us. Table of Contents b) Quel devrait être notre état d'esprit à l'égard de l'étude, et quels bienfaits cette activité importante procure - t - elle? The second article explains how we can avoid grieving God's holy spirit. (b) What should be our attitude toward study, and how does this important work benefit us? " Bien entendu, ce n'est qu'une tradition. We therefore render to Jehovah God submission without reservation. - Read Psalm 86: 11, 12. Of course, that is only a tradition. Être intègre, cela signifie dans sa vie quotidienne s'efforcer en premier lieu de plaire à Jéhovah Dieu. What God wants for you Being faultless means striving first to please Jehovah God. Aujourd'hui, Satan et son système corrompu nous soumettent à ce même genre d'influences. We become too self - centered. Today, Satan and his corrupt system submits to such influences. Impatient de voir s'accomplir tous les événements extraordinaires qui lui avaient été annoncés, le vieil apôtre Jean s'est exclamé: "Amen! Doing good things for others can indeed help prevent us from tiring out in our service to Jehovah. The aged apostle John exclaimed: "Amen! (voir l'encadré " Ils rendent des comptes à leur mort "). c) Quelle récompense les humains déclarés brebis recevront - ils? While some humans knowingly and deliberately persecute us, many of those who oppose God's people do so out of ignorance or are manipulated by others. (See the box "They hold an accounting with their death. ") (b) What reward will the sheep receive? Ils allaient à une assemblée régionale où les parents de Milan devaient se faire baptiser. However, the Amorite Kings Sihon and Og had no such claims to the land under their control. They were about to attend a convention where their parents were to get baptized. Mais pour les lecteurs attentifs de la Bible, l'arc de Titus représente quelque chose d'encore plus grand. What, though, if the unbelieving husband does not respond favorably? To pay attention to the Bible, however, Titus's bow represents something far greater. Ceux à qui manque la compréhension spirituelle estiment que rien n'atteste "ostensiblement " la présence de Jésus aujourd'hui. What, though, awaits people who have been misled by Christendom's clergy and by clerics of other forms of false religion? Those who lack spiritual insight believe that nothing "will happen " to Jesus ' presence today. Voir "Gardez - vous dans l'amour de Dieu ," pages 220, 221. We have always been early risers, and that habit certainly helps at Bethel. See "Keep Yourselves in God's Love. " Quelle que soit notre situation financière, comptons sur l'esprit de Dieu et menons une vie qui nous rendra " riches à l'égard de Dieu '. (b) What did Paul recommend in Epaphroditus ' case? Regardless of our financial situation, let us rely on God's spirit and live a life that will make us " rich toward God. ' La troisième: quand des difficultés surgissent et que nous sommes éprouvés d'une certaine façon, Dieu nous soutient comme il l'a fait pour Job. Clearly, Jehovah's patience does not mean that he is simply waiting for time to pass. The third: When difficulties arise and we are tested in a certain way, God supports us as he did in the case of Job. ." Un chrétien a écrit au siège des Témoins de Jéhovah de France: "Satan est vraiment rusé. They are the very ones who demonstrate the matter of the law to be written in their hearts, while their conscience is bearing witness with them and, between their own thoughts, they are being accused or even excused. " - Romans 2: 14, 15. One Christian wrote to the branch office of Jehovah's Witnesses in France: "Satan is truly clever. Comment peux - tu cultiver la tendresse? God's Word promises: "Evil men will be done away with, but those hoping in Jehovah will possess the earth. How can you cultivate tenderness? Comment Jésus a - t - il manifesté de l'amour à des personnes en particulier, et qu'est - ce qui le poussait à faire cela? " Gathered to Their Forefathers ' How did Jesus show love for individuals, and what moved him to do so? Il ne nous répondra pas si nous menons une double vie, si nous cachons de mauvaises actions en faisant semblant de le servir fidèlement. Meanwhile, they treasure their personal friendship with God and sincerely strive to strengthen that relationship. He will not answer us if we are pursuing a double life, if we hide wrongdoing by pretending to serve him faithfully. Cela signifie - t - il qu'il ne faut pas exprimer son amour par des paroles? As Jehovah's slave, the house of Israel was neither faithful nor discreet. Does this mean that we should not express our love by words? 1: 18 - 20; Luc 2: 41, 51. It is challenging, instructive, and fulfilling. 1: 18 - 20; Luke 2: 41, 51. Nous examinerons dans cet article le plus grand de ces deux commandements. However, for some time before that, Peter had known that as a disciple of Jesus, he would have to talk to others about his faith in Jesus. This article will consider the greatest of these two commandments. Imaginons qu'un homme marche sur une route et parvienne soudain à un embranchement. Thus, it is clear that Jephthah did not intend to sacrifice anyone literally. For example, imagine that a man walking on a road and suddenly arrives at a foolish e - mail. Nous en examinerons trois: il nous fortifie quand nous recherchons son aide pour résister à la tentation; il nous soutient quand nous devons faire face à l'indifférence ou à l'opposition; il nous maintient la tête hors de l'eau lorsque les inquiétudes nous submergent. How does God do this? We will consider three ways in which he strengthens us when we seek his help to resist temptation; he supports us when we face apathy or opposition; he preserves us from the head of water when anxieties weighing us down. Selon la prière de Jésus, Jéhovah veille sur nous. Nevertheless, all Christians face obstacles. According to Jesus ' prayer, Jehovah watches over us. Le quatrième article explique comment ne pas attrister l'esprit saint de Dieu. À LIRE AUSSI: " A vicious wild beast must have devoured him! The fourth article discusses how we can avoid grieving God's holy spirit. C'est donc à Jéhovah seul que nous acceptons de nous soumettre sans réserve. - Lire Psaume 86: 11, 12. Consider also the health benefits that result from moderation in eating and drinking. It is to Jehovah alone that we accept that we willingly submit to him. - Read Psalm 86: 11, 12. Ce que Dieu veut pour vous 14: 14, 15. What God Requires for You Un excès d'amour - propre. We can do so if we keep on fighting against it. A measure of love - its own.

Does God care about us? Même s'ils ont rencontré des difficultés, en 30 ans, la bonne nouvelle était déjà " prêchée dans toute la création qui est sous le ciel ," si bien que Paul a pu dire: " Elle porte du fruit et croît dans le monde entier ."

À quel point le message relatif au Royaume est - il important?

This would help the mistaken belief that the "soul " is something similar to a spirit, not man himself. Dans le même temps, nous devons vivre en accord avec cette requête en participant à l'accomplissement d'un remarquable aspect du " signe ." For example, breathing, walking, riding a bicycle, or touch - typing are automatic processes that you may be able to do without even thinking. At the same time, we need to live in harmony with this request by sharing in the fulfillment of a remarkable aspect of "the sign. " Au vu de tout cela, nous pouvons faire écho aux paroles du psalmiste: "Jéhovah est avec moi; je ne craindrai pas. One scholar wrote: "This [verse] definitely does not mean that they also love God to some extent. In view of all of this, we can echo the words of the psalmist: "Jehovah is with me; I shall not fear. Plutôt triste, n'est - ce pas? Puissions - nous ne jamais laisser l'obstination ou la poursuite de notre plaisir nous conduire à rejeter la direction de Jéhovah et à marcher dans nos propres conseils, allant ainsi "en arrière et non en avant "! Like Abner, Absalom sought to kill David, even though he knew that Jehovah had appointed David as Israel's king. - 2 Sam. On the contrary, may we never allow fear or pursuit of pleasure to lead us to reject Jehovah's guidance and walk in our own counsel, thus going "in great and not going ahead "! " Quand on a demandé à Claudio, Témoin depuis 1974, pourquoi il continue de prêcher avec zèle alors que peu de gens sont réceptifs, il a cité Jean 4: 34, où on lit ces paroles de Jésus: "Ma nourriture, c'est de faire la volonté de celui qui m'a envoyé et d'achever son œuvre. 7, 8.

" Go about in the land through its length and through its breadth. " - Genesis 13: 17. Thus, Jesus reflected his Father's love perfectly. Dans la Bible, endurer n'est pas simplement supporter l'épreuve ou l'adversité. Such scenes highlight a feature of the peace enjoyed by God's people today - our global unity. In the Bible, we need to endure more than mere trials or adversity. Ceux qui se repentent sincèrement connaissent des "époques de rafraîchissement " de la part de Jéhovah. - Lire Actes 3: 19.

The next day, "with much pompous show, " they" entered into the audience chamber together with military commanders as well as men of eminence in the city. " Like Paul, many former opposers of God's truth now serve God. En effet, celui qui élimine de son cœur l'hypocrisie est plus heureux, et il peut nourrir l'espoir de connaître un jour un bonheur parfait. But why was this observance instituted?

In this article, we will consider these questions: How did Jesus deal with the prejudice of his day? 8, 9. a) En quels termes David a - t - il décrit une autre bénédiction que reçoivent ceux qui sont proches de Jéhovah? As that "time " approached, Jehovah took steps to reveal the answer to a group of humble Bible students. 8, 9. (a) How did David describe another blessing that those who are close to Jehovah? Un autre proverbe déclare: "Les menteurs ne sont pas crus, même lorsqu'ils disent vrai. " All inhabitants of the earth are dependent upon "the profit of the earth " - what the land produces. Another proverb states: "The churches are not stumbled, even when they say true. " L'apôtre Paul l'explique: " Nous nous conduisions tous jadis selon les désirs de notre chair, faisant les choses que voulait la chair. Centuries later, four young Hebrew men showed that they had learned what was really important. The apostle Paul explains: "We all at one time conducted ourselves according to the desires of our flesh, doing the things that the flesh wanted. Il a ainsi écrit: "Les jeunes lions à crinière se sont trouvés dépourvus et ont eu faim; mais ceux qui cherchent Jéhovah, ceux - là ne manqueront d'aucun bien. ." How can we protect ourselves? He wrote: "The young ones in the congregation found themselves tired and hungry; but those seeking Jehovah will lack nothing good. " Que dire de Jéhovah?

Au lieu de riposter et de reprendre son puits, il a décidé de ne rien dire. You will be happier if you succeed. - Read 1 Peter 4: 8. Rather than retaliate and correcting his well, he decided not to say anything. Jésus n'a pas donné cette illustration pour montrer que Jéhovah banalise ce que nous faisons à son service. How was he occupied during all those ages? Jesus did not give this illustration to show that Jehovah values what we do in his service. Par exemple, respirer, marcher, faire du vélo ou taper sur un clavier sont des actions que tu es peut - être capable d'accomplir de manière automatique, sans même y penser. 13 For example, walking, walking, or on a course that you may be able to do in an unexpected way, without even thinking about it. Un bibliste a écrit: " Ce [verset] ne signifie absolument pas qu'ils aiment Dieu dans une certaine mesure. When the loving - kindness of the sons of Israel became "like the dew that early goes away, " Jehovah was displeased. One Bible scholar wrote: "This [It] does not mean that they love God in a certain way. Comme Abner, Absalom a cherché à tuer David, même s'il savait que Jéhovah lui - même l'avait établi roi sur Israël.

What work does Jehovah expect us to accomplish today? Certains furent probablement au nombre des Nethinim qui revinrent de Babylone et qui servirent au temple rebâti. Another evidence that Jehovah appreciates and values our expressions of godly devotion can be seen in what the Bible says about prayer.

" On la définit comme un état affectif empreint de douceur et de délicatesse. [ Picture on page 7] It is defined as "a mild - tempered, mild - tempered state. " Si les anciens vous sollicitent afin de conduire l'étude d'un compagnon spirituellement affaibli, priez Jéhovah d'orienter et de bénir vos efforts.

If the elders call you to conduct a spiritual brother's study, pray for Jehovah to restore and bless your efforts. Veillez à ne pas tenir de propos négatifs et décourageants sur les gens du territoire.

' [ Picture on page 6] Un bon moyen de se préserver des dangers liés à l'abus d'alcool consiste à savoir où se trouve la limite, non pas la limite entre l'excès et l'ébriété, mais la limite entre la modération et l'excès. Amos did not begin his work by pronouncing Jehovah's judgment against the wayward northern kingdom of Israel. A good way to avoid dangers related to alcohol is to know where the limit is limited, not the limit between anxiety and summer, but the limit between moderation and too much. Faire des progrès, c'est s'améliorer, devenir meilleur. 21: 15, 19. Making progress involves making better, improve. JÉHOVAH, le Créateur de l'univers, fait les choses de façon organisée. WHEN DOES JESUS COME? JEHOVAH, the Creator of the universe, has done things in an organized way. ." Pour cela, il faut qu'il devienne un homme spirituel. For example, Satan's system of things uses economic pressure to rob people of their freedom. To that end, we need to become a spiritual man. Il nous permet d'avoir un point de vue équilibré sur les biens matériels. The law on gleaning did not stipulate how much produce farmers were to leave for the needy.

Why is it important to prepare for tribulations now? Est - ce à dire que, pour tous ceux qui sont restés fidèles à l'organisation de Jéhovah, il a été facile de prêcher de maison en maison? Non. What if a young person resists parental training because of peer pressure, the desire to go along with the crowd? Does this mean that for all who remained loyal to Jehovah's organization, it was easy to preach from house to house? " Toi, tu seras roi sur Israël, lui a - t - il dit, et moi, je deviendrai le second après toi. What a difficult thing it is to endure the ridicule and opposition of family members who do not share our faith!

" Or c'est une des choses les plus difficiles à faire quand on se connecte à Internet, y compris à un réseau social *. A young sister in Japan wrote: "When my family applied Bible teachings, we were truly happy.

Looking at verse 11, where will "the meek ones, " or good people, live? Moreover, he is wise. L'amour authentique qui unit des conjoints fidèles grandit à mesure qu'ils traversent côte à côte les joies et les peines de l'existence. The key is to enhance those strengths and put them to use in protecting your child. Genuine love strengthens a marriage to the extent that they pass through the joys and sorrow of life. Par contre, d'autres croient que l'amour de Dieu est inconditionnel, qu'il les aime peu importe ce qu'ils font ou ne font pas. (b) How does the account of Jacob's approach to Esau illustrate the value of humility? On the other hand, others believe that God's love is restrictive, that they love little or do not. La Bible déclare que la connaissance et la sagesse peuvent délivrer "de l'homme qui exprime des choses perverses ." The Edomites descended from Abraham through Jacob's twin brother, Esau. The Bible states that knowledge and wisdom can deliver "from man who expresses twisted things. " Il connaît la situation et les besoins de tous ses serviteurs fidèles. In what way do those who partake of the Memorial wine " share in the blood of the Christ '? He knows the situation and needs of all his faithful servants.

" As Jesus said complex ideas in simple terms, the Bible Teach book uses simple and direct language to explain God's Word. Qu'apprenons - nous de la supplication que David a faite à Jéhovah d'examiner ses reins et son cœur? It is a pledge to a person rather than merely a promise to do something. What can we learn from David's plea to Jehovah to examine his kidneys and heart? À quelques exceptions près, les congrégations ont tout de suite accepté ce changement, et l'œuvre de témoignage a continué de porter du fruit. This love, combined with their love for God and their brothers, compels elders to serve the flock, devoting their efforts, resources, and time to doing so. A few exception, the congregations immediately accepted that change, and the witnessing work continued to bear fruit. La Bible dit: " Si le non - croyant entreprend de se séparer, qu'il se sépare; un frère ou une sœur ne sont pas asservis en pareil cas, mais Dieu vous a appelés à la paix ." The modern history of Jehovah's Witnesses provides proof that Jehovah will never allow the extermination of his people as a group. The Bible says: "If the unbelieving one chooses to depart, let him depart; a brother or sister not enter into such a situation, but God called you to peace. " C'est pourquoi je t'ai attiré avec bonté de cœur. ' - Jérémie 31: 3. We read: "When the man touched the bones of Elisha, he came to life and stood on his feet. " That is why I have drawn you with loving - kindness. ' " - Jeremiah 31: 3. Qu'a fait Jéhovah pour révéler progressivement son nom? By exercising faith in that sacrifice, we are no longer "slaves to sin, " but we are in a position to reflect Jehovah's glory. What did Jehovah do to reveal his name gradually?

(Deuteronomy 1: 1 - 4: 49) He must have convinced him that Jehovah would strengthen him to endure trials of time and any challenge to come. ." (b) What stand did the three Hebrews take when a conflict in the matter of obedience could not be avoided? 11: 33. Par exemple, malgré la haine de ceux qui détenaient pouvoir et influence, il n'a pas adouci le message que Dieu voulait transmettre aux humains. David was poetically saying that he felt that his death was very near. - Psalm 102: 11. For example, despite the hatred of those having authority and influence, he did not confess God's message to humans. Je marcherai dans ta vérité. In the new world, God's sovereignty will be fully upheld. I shall walk in your truth. " Sur les conseils de Naomi, Ruth demande à Boaz de remplir le rôle de racheteur. And that would only be "a beginning of pangs of distress. " On Naomi's counsel, Ruth instructs Boaz to fulfill the role of the jailer. Comment Ahab a - t - il réagi au message de jugement de Jéhovah, et quel en a été le résultat? Whatever the outcome, you can be sure that Jehovah will be pleased with your sincere efforts to gain your brother - God's friend. How did Ahab react to Jehovah's judgment message, and with what result? Les chefs religieux juifs du Isiècle qui s'opposaient avec méchanceté à Jésus Christ péchaient contre l'esprit saint.

First - century Jewish religious leaders who opposed wickedness with Jesus Christ sinned against the holy spirit.

Yet, like each of us, he had to rely on Jehovah in order to declare the good news with boldness. Marcher par l'esprit, c'est aussi accepter l'invitation consignée en Révélation 22: 17: "L'esprit et l'épouse continuent à dire: " Viens! 13, 14. Walking by spirit involves accepting the invitation recorded at Revelation 22: 17: "The spirit and the bride keep on saying: " Come! ' " Jésus savait que ses disciples seraient la cible d'individus qui " répandraient toutes sortes de calomnies sur leur compte '. (Read.) Jesus knew that his followers would be the target of individuals who would " carry out every sort of slander on their account. ' De ce fait, de nombreuses personnes en concluent que le mieux est de profiter à fond de la vie avant que la mort ne vienne. Let us daily keep in mind this inspired assurance: "The name of Jehovah is a strong tower. Hence, many people conclude that the best way to benefit from life before death comes. ." (b) What situation in first - century Corinth may have caused some to be unsure of the way in which to walk? 11: 33. De quoi les humains imparfaits ont - ils impérativement besoin, et pourquoi devons - nous nous tourner vers Jéhovah pour combler ce besoin? Another of Satan's snares is disguised occultism. What is essential for imperfect humans, and why should we turn to Jehovah to fill this need? Des félicitations sincères engendrent une tendre affection dans la famille et dans la congrégation, ce qui encourage les jeunes à chercher conseil auprès des frères et sœurs expérimentés.

" Is your conscience a safe guide? [...] la terre fera tomber, c'est - à - dire enfantera, même ceux qui sont sans force dans la mort. Why? The earth will fall, or child, even those without power in death. " Avant de choisir un divertissement, il faut commencer par se poser la question avec quoi?, c'est - à - dire: " Avec quoi suis - je tenté de me divertir? 5, 6. (a) Whom has Jesus appointed to care for his sheep, and what does benefiting from this arrangement require of the sheep? Before choosing entertainment, we need to ask ourselves, " What am I tempted to do with entertainment? ' Donnez une raison pour laquelle elles méritaient la condamnation divine. The prophet Isaiah was inspired to write about the kind of life that God's people will enjoy on earth. Give one reason why they deserved adverse divine judgment. 21: 15, 19. Shortly after that, Paul had a part in dispensing spiritual food. He wrote his first inspired letter. 21: 15, 19. QUAND JÉSUS VIENT - IL? As a result of the war in heaven, Jesus hurled the Devil and the demons down to the vicinity of the earth. (Read Revelation 12: 7 - 9.) WHEN JESUS ' Standard LIFE? Par exemple, aujourd'hui, les pressions économiques sont si fortes que beaucoup de personnes deviennent esclaves du système. Some women refuse to accept the headship of their husbands. For example, economic pressures today are so strong that many become slaves of this system. La loi relative au glanage ne précisait pas quelle quantité les cultivateurs devaient laisser aux pauvres.

By taking time to study Bible accounts and to meditate on them, we can begin to understand Jehovah's qualities and his way of thinking. On one occasion, while his wife was attending a convention, he left his house and left home. Résultat? Worldwide we endeavor to teach people from the Bible, since it is the Word of God. The result? Comment des anges ont - ils aidé Moïse? Perhaps the most puzzling part of the parable comes near the end, in the verbal exchange between the foolish and the discreet virgins. (Read Matthew 25: 8, 9.) How did angels assist Moses? Il arrive qu'un adolescent résiste à l'éducation de ses parents sous l'influence des jeunes de son âge, dont il ne veut pas se démarquer. He may also learn to admit his own errors. At times, a teenager may be training his parents under the influence of young ones in his age, and he may not want to stand out as different. Qu'il est difficile de supporter les moqueries et l'opposition de proches qui ne partagent pas notre foi! To help us along the path to life, God's Word provides us with many fine role models. How difficult it is to endure ridicule and opposition from unbelieving relatives! Une jeune sœur japonaise a écrit: " Ma famille appliquait les enseignements de la Bible, et grâce à cela nous étions vraiment heureux. Looking back on those times, we see the wisdom of Noah's course. One young sister in Australia wrote: "My family applied the Bible's teachings, and this made us truly happy. D'après le verset 11, où vivront "les humbles ," c'est - à - dire les bons? But it seems that I am reading things I never saw before. According to verse 11, where will "the meek ones " live?

En quel sens ceux qui boivent le vin du Mémorial " participent - ils au sang du Christ '? (b) What is implied by Jesus ' use of the word "steward "? How do those who drink the Memorial wine " share in the blood of the Christ '? Quel effet devrait - il avoir sur nous? In time, Solomon reaped sad fruitage from ignoring God's direction. How should we affect ourselves? Nous avons compris qu'aux yeux de nos enfants, nous devions être des parents solidaires. J'ai aussi dû apprendre à diriger ma famille d'une manière conforme au christianisme. " 6, 7.

" L'histoire moderne des Témoins de Jéhovah prouve que Dieu ne permettra jamais l'anéantissement de ses adorateurs en tant que groupe.

L'apôtre Paul nous a encouragés à " devenir ses imitateurs, tout comme lui - même l'était de Christ '. 3: 20. As in the case of Paul and Silas in Philippi, we may be surprised by what Jehovah does for us personally. The apostle Paul urged us to "become imitators of him, even as he was of Christ. " Auriez - vous intérêt à modifier vos priorités ou vos objectifs pour gagner en sagesse? Paul took time to meditate on spiritual things. Would you be interested in making your priorities or goals in making wise decisions? (Deutéronome 1: 1 - 4: 49) He wrote: "Like powerful men they run.

" An army of locusts in Modern Times b) Au Isiècle, quelle situation a peut - être amené certains chrétiens de Corinthe à ne plus savoir quelle voie suivre? When Jehovah through his Son created man and woman, his intent was that they fill the whole earth. (b) In the first century, what situation may have caused some Christians in Corinth to no longer know which way to walk? Un autre piège de Satan est l'occultisme déguisé. Because he had created Jesus in heaven ages earlier, had observed him, and knew that this "master worker " and" firstborn of all creation " was obedient and faithful. Another trap of Satan is the occult. Ne lui facilitons pas la tâche. Jesus was keenly aware that imperfect humans often have a tendency to be judgmental. Do not give him the task.

Regarding the wine anointed Christians drink at the Memorial, Paul wrote: "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of the Christ? " Pourquoi? We can choose whether to be close to him or not. Why? 5, 6. a) À qui Jésus a - t - il confié la garde de ses brebis et à quelle condition bénéficient - elles de cette disposition? Let us consider five reasons why we should accept Jehovah's judgments. 5, 6. (a) To whom did Jesus warn about his sheep and how do they benefit from that arrangement? Le prophète Isaïe a décrit dans quelles conditions vivront les adorateurs de Jéhovah sur la terre. At other times, Jesus simply did not answer when it was evident that no good would be accomplished by doing so. - Mark 15: 2 - 5; Luke 22: 67 - 70. The prophet Isaiah described conditions in which Jehovah's people will live on earth. Peu après, Paul a commencé à participer à la préparation de la nourriture spirituelle: il a écrit sa première lettre inspirée. In taking many wives, what was Solomon ignoring? Shortly thereafter, Paul began to participate in preparing spiritual food. He wrote his first inspired letter. En conséquence de la guerre qui a eu lieu dans le ciel, Jésus a jeté le Diable et les démons au voisinage de la terre (lire Révélation 12: 7 - 9).

The situation of some faithful servants of Jehovah does not allow them to devote an average of 70 hours each month to the preaching work. Pourquoi peut - on dire que les oints sont " assis dans les lieux célestes ' pendant qu'ils sont encore sur la terre? How different Aklilu's experience was when he attended a Christian meeting at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses! Why can it be said that the anointed are " sitting in the heavenly places ' while still on earth? Si nous prenons le temps d'étudier les récits bibliques et de les méditer, nous découvrirons peu à peu les qualités et la manière de penser de Jéhovah. What lessons can we draw from this account? If we take time to study Bible accounts and meditate on them, we will learn little about Jehovah's qualities and attitude. L'enseignement que nous dispensons partout sur la terre est lui aussi basé sur la Bible, qui est la Parole de Dieu. Learn and respect refugees ' religious and cultural sensitivities. The teaching that we offer is also based on the Bible, which is God's Word. La partie la plus énigmatique de la parabole se situe probablement vers la fin, dans l'échange verbal qui a lieu entre les vierges sottes et les vierges avisées (lire Matthieu 25: 8, 9). For example, Paul wrote: "We the living who survive to the presence of the Lord [not, to the end of his presence] shall in no way precede those who have fallen asleep in death; because the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a commanding call, with an archangel's voice and with God's trumpet, and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first.

Il apprend peut - être aussi à admettre ses propres erreurs. 2: 1, 5 - 8; Dan. He may also learn to admit his own mistakes. Pour nous aider à marcher sur le chemin de la vie, la Parole de Dieu nous fournit de nombreux modèles.

To help us walk in the way of life, God's Word provides many examples. Avec le recul, nous constatons à quel point la ligne de conduite adoptée par Noé était sage. In fact, the expression "Praise Jah, you people! " Looking back, we see how wise the course of Noah was. Pour utiliser au mieux ce recueil, tu voudras certainement te familiariser avec ses mélodies, ses rythmes et ses paroles.

" b) Que signifie honorer ses parents, et quel exemple Joseph a - t - il laissé à cet égard? We will trust in Jehovah at all times and with our whole heart.

The Bible says that Jehovah's people, including young ones, "will offer themselves willingly " for his service. He wrote: "As mighty men themselves run. Mes parents ont passé des heures et des heures, patiemment, à me faire raisonner. Ask others how they have benefited from belonging to Jehovah My parents spent hours and hours patiently, patiently, to reason with me.

[ Picture on page 15] By means of his Son, Jehovah created man and woman, his purpose was to fill the entire earth. Parce qu'il avait créé Jésus longtemps auparavant au ciel et avait eu l'occasion de l'observer; il savait que son "habile ouvrier ,"" le premier - né de toute création ," était obéissant et fidèle.

Par la prière, nous pouvons rester en étroite communication avec Jéhovah et parvenir à garder une conduite qui l'honore. Obviously, Abraham did not terrorize Sarah into silence.

Why do we engage in these Christian activities? For example, the apostle Paul wrote: "We the living who are surviving even to the presence of the Lord [and] not to the end of his presence, we will not precede those who have fallen asleep in death; because the Lord himself will come down out of heaven with a commandment with a voice and those who are dead in union with Christ.

The Romans condemned Jesus regarding false accusations and executed him. Depuis leur rébellion, Satan et ses démons exercent une influence puissante et cruelle sur les affaires du monde. in Awake! Since their rebellion, Satan and his demons have exerted powerful and cruel influence on the affairs of the world. Ils ont recherché la "perle de grande valeur " à notre époque Fumiko, a typhoon victim in Japan, says: "The end is very close. They searched for "the Great Value " in Our Day Les Israélites étaient autorisés à leur donner ou à leur vendre de tels animaux. Try not to worry unduly. The Israelites were allowed to give them or sell them such animals. Ce serait incompatible avec leur revendication d'être des serviteurs du "Dieu d'amour et de paix ." To show where he stood on that issue, Paul declared: "Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. This would be in conflict with their failure to be servants of "the God of love and peace. " Dieu n'a pas permis que le corps de son Fils bien - aimé se décompose. Since Jesus did not say how long that period of time would go on before the end arrived, we need to be especially vigilant, watchful. God did not allow the body of his beloved Son to grow. Au moment où Jésus a fait cette déclaration, la discussion portait sur l'impôt. However, we know that when human teachings contradict what God has revealed, it is always the human teachings that are wrong. When Jesus made that statement, the discussion was about the tax. Or l'inquiétude permet - elle de résoudre quelque problème que ce soit? (Read Luke 11: 9 - 13.) But does it allow anxiety to solve some problem? 116. Certains ouvrages catholiques publiés récemment en français, dont La Bible de Jérusalem, traduisent le tétragramme par "Yahvé ." The Bible foretold that during our time people would be "lovers of themselves. " Less than Catholic literature has recently been published in French, including the Bible in Jerusalem. Ceux avec qui on commençait sa scolarité étaient généralement ceux avec qui on la terminait. En fait, presque tous les habitants de la ville se connaissaient. One person who was quoted in a survey about television news in the United States no doubt echoed the feelings of millions when he said: " After I watch the news, I'm thoroughly depressed. Those who started school were usually those with whom they concluded, almost all residents of the city were familiar with. La persévérance dans la prédication demande donc de la hardiesse. Even Peter, an apostle, gave way to fear and doubt. Therefore, perseverance in the preaching work requires boldness. Comme Jésus, les anciens doivent en tout temps défendre les principes de la justice divine. 7, 8. (a) Describe an unborn baby's early growth. (b) In what way is a developing baby "woven in the lowest parts of the earth "? Like Jesus, elders today need to defend divine principles. • Pourquoi est - ce un privilège remarquable que d'avoir librement accès auprès de Jéhovah au moyen de la prière? A man is struggling to support his family. • Why is it a remarkable privilege to freely approach Jehovah in prayer? Comment devrions - nous parler à nos proches? Today, too, those who live by God's standards are considered peculiar by the world. How should we speak to our loved ones? [ Illustrations, pages 10, 11] What attitude or spirit do these words communicate to us? [ Pictures on page 10, 11] Par l'intermédiaire de son prophète Malaki, il a déclaré: "À coup sûr vous verrez de nouveau la distinction entre un juste et un méchant, entre qui sert Dieu et qui ne l'a pas servi. 8: 38, 39. In what other ways does Jehovah demonstrate loyalty, and with what benefit to his worshippers? Through his prophet Malachi, Jehovah stated: "You will again see the distinction between a righteous one and a wicked one, between one serving God and one who has not served him. Dans les Écritures hébraïques, on lit par exemple que, lorsqu'il était jeune, Samuel "n'avait pas encore appris à connaître Jéhovah ." Some years ago, Eduardo and Noemi took note of Paul's words: "The scene of this world is changing. " For example, in the Hebrew Scriptures, Samuel was told that when he was young, Samuel "did not yet come to know Jehovah. " Même quand des rois lui étaient infidèles, Jéhovah leur a parfois accordé la victoire sur l'ennemi à cause de son nom. Or, " Who has first given to him, so that it must be repaid to him? ' Even when kings were unfaithful, Jehovah at times gave them victory over the enemy because of his name. Notons que, lorsque les rédacteurs des Écritures grecques chrétiennes citaient les Écritures hébraïques, ils le faisaient généralement à partir de la Septante. If you are approaching the end of the schooling required of you, you may find yourself in good health and with few responsibilities. Note that when the writers of the Christian Greek Scriptures quoted the Hebrew Scriptures, they usually used the Greek Septuagint. Pour plaire à Dieu, il faut être " saint dans toute sa conduite '. - 1 Pierre 1: 14 - 16. 91: 14. Why can we say that Jehovah is the Grand Provider? To please God, we must be "holy in all conduct. " - 1 Pet. 1: 14 - 16. Rien qu'à l'entendre, ce mot fait peur. What trust can a faithful Christian whose relative is disfellowshipped have? Nothing but to hear it, this word is afraid. L'amour fraternel éloigne aussi la suspicion. As we struggle to deal with such weaknesses, it is easy to lose confidence, becoming convinced that we can never succeed. Brotherly love also separates people. Depuis plus d'un siècle, un seul groupe enseigne fidèlement ces vérités précieuses: les Témoins de Jéhovah. [ Picture on page 11] For over a century, just one group has faithfully taught these precious truths - Jehovah's Witnesses. Le livre de la Genèse nous parle du monde antédiluvien, de ce qui s'est produit au début de l'ère suivante, et des rapports que Jéhovah Dieu a entretenus avec Abraham, Isaac, Jacob et Joseph. [ Picture on page 32] The book of Genesis tells us about the pre - Christian world, from what occurred at the beginning of the next century, and in the dealings that Jehovah God spoke with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. Quand Christ a - t - il ceint son épée, quel premier usage en a - t - il fait et quel autre usage en fera - t - il? Genesis 2: 18 tells us that God made the woman to be a complement to the man, not a copy of him. When did Christ put on his sword, how did he put it first, and what else will he use? (Voir l'encadré ci - dessus.) Paul made a powerful statement about the help his loyal friends rendered to him. (See the box above.) 4: 8, 11 - 15. Jesus ' confidence in Jehovah and his people was well - founded and still is. 4: 8, 11 - 15. Citons juste un exemple: en juin 2001, aux États - Unis, une tempête tropicale a provoqué une inondation massive au Texas; elle a endommagé des milliers de foyers, dont des centaines de foyers de Témoins de Jéhovah. Some abusive acts - such as the fondling of breasts, explicitly immoral proposals, showing pornography to a child, voyeurism, and indecent exposure - may amount to what the Bible condemns as "loose conduct " or" uncleanness... with greediness. " - Galatians 5: 19 - 21; Ephesians 4: 19. For example, in June 2001, a storm in the United States caused a mass all thousands of homes, including hundreds of Witnesses in the United States. • Quel aspect de la bonne nouvelle la lettre aux Romains met - elle en valeur? He will make you firm, he will make you strong, he will firmly ground you. " - 1 Pet. 5: 10. • What aspect of the good news does the book of Romans highlight? Jéhovah avait bien identifié le problème: l'attitude craintive du peuple trahissait un manque de foi. What you can do. Jehovah had well identified the problem - the fear of the people of a lack of faith. Ils ont eu la cruauté de le vendre en esclavage et de faire croire à Jacob qu'il avait été tué par une bête sauvage. - Gen. ARTICLE 5 They were capable of selling him into slavery and thinking to Jacob that he had been killed by a wild beast. - Gen. Il concerne un couple, Nabal et Abigaïl. The kingdom of Israel did not escape divine judgment It involves a marriage, Nabal, and Abigail. Quelle belle récompense pour son service fidèle! Some youths have been raised by Christian parents and yet have not developed a love for Jehovah's standards. What a wonderful reward for his faithful service! Ceux qui ne conviennent pas sont rejetés, pour être finalement lancés dans un four de feu symbolique, qui représente la destruction à venir. In effect, Jehovah was telling his people, "If you prove to be on my side, I will prove to be on your side. " Those who do not have to be cast out of a figurative fiery furnace, which represent destruction to come. Satan, ou Gog, dirigera ses forces contre le peuple de Dieu. How did wrong thinking evidently contribute to Achan's bad conduct? Satan, or Gog, will use his forces against God's people. Bien que la Bible ne donne pas de détails sur ses motivations, les sages de l'époque ont considéré que l'obéissance d'une femme à son mari était une question sérieuse et que l'exemple donné par Vashti aurait une mauvaise influence sur toutes les femmes des provinces de Perse. Those are not the words of an envious man of little means. Although the Bible does not give details about his motives, the wise men of the day viewed a woman's obedience to her husband as a serious matter and an example would have a negative influence on all the wives of Persia. Toutefois, quelle que soit la pression, nous avons la responsabilité de suivre notre conscience éduquée par la Bible. under ABOUT US > FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS. Nevertheless, no matter what pressure may be, we have the responsibility to follow our Bible - trained conscience. LA "VRAIE CONNAISSANCE " SORT DE L'OBSCURITÉ However, that does not concern those greedy individuals. " THE TRUE SPIRIT " [ Notes] " No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him, " said Jesus. [ Footnotes] La loi que Jéhovah avait donnée aux Israélites révèle à quel genre d'esclavage il veut que nous nous soumettions. The Law preserves many valuable lessons for us, and vivid reminders of their worth are presented by the lives and experiences of Bible characters. Jehovah's law to the Israelites reveals what kind of slavery he wants us to submit to. Contrairement à beaucoup d'humains, les serviteurs de Jéhovah aiment sincèrement les autres. At the Memorial, we commemorate Jesus ' death, a death that upheld Jehovah's sovereignty. Unlike many, Jehovah's servants truly love others. Il aidera chacun de nous à analyser son point de vue sur le ministère confié aux chrétiens, et sur les vérités qu'il a apprises. And it helps us to build an unbreakable bond of trust with our Creator. - Rom. He will help each of us to analyze his view of the ministry entrusted to Christians and to the truths he learned. Leur côté pratique. Those clothed with the new personality treat fellow believers and outsiders with dignity, regardless of their social or racial background. They do so. Parce que le Diable et ses démons ont été jetés au voisinage de la terre. (2) Jehovah will not answer our prayers if we willfully practice sin. Because the Devil and his demons were hurled down to the vicinity of the earth. Intéressons - nous à présent à quelqu'un qui a tout fait pour imiter Jésus. Miserable man that I am! " - Rom. Let us now consider an example of someone who did all he could to imitate Jesus. Elle les encourage également à faire au moins ce qui est "élémentaire ," par exemple à lire la Bible et le texte du jour, puis à méditer sur ce qu'ils ont lu. Today, Elihu's words continue to have meaning for millions of Christians who hope to survive the destruction of the present system of things. She also encourages them to do what is "the best thing " - for example, to read the Bible and the text of the day and to meditate on what they read. " Le mariage est une union sacrée. The great crowd work alongside anointed Christians in preaching the good news that soon God will rock the nations at Armageddon. Marriage is a sacred marriage. Dieu les a fortifiés et bénis parce qu'ils n'ont pas cessé d'accorder une grande valeur aux choses spirituelles. Soon Mary and her husband's coworker were romantically involved. God strengthened and blessed them because they did not lose appreciation for spiritual things. Jéhovah ne fait pas preuve de miséricorde envers une seule nation, une seule race ou un seul groupe en particulier. First, let us compare Jesus with Moses and see how such a comparison helps us to appreciate more fully Jesus ' role in God's purpose. Jehovah does not show mercy to one nation, one race, or one group. Une pionnière a dit: "Je prie pour pouvoir parler avec conviction, je prie pour arriver à toucher les cœurs, et je prie pour trouver de la joie dans le ministère. Note how that knowledge affected her. A pioneer sister said: "I pray to speak with conviction, I pray that I may reach hearts, and I pray for joy in the ministry. Même si personne ne remarque vos efforts, lui les remarque. What Jesus taught and did was in harmony with God's Word, thus the expression "healthful words " can also by extension refer to all Bible teachings. Even if no one notices your efforts, he notices them. " paru dans Réveillez - vous! In words recorded in the Gospel of Luke, Jesus compared Christians to slaves waiting for their master to return from a wedding. appeared in Awake! Fumiko, une sœur qui a été victime d'un typhon au Japon, déclare: " La fin est très proche. Remember that God draws those whom he loves. For example, a sister in Japan said: "The end is very near. Ne vous inquiétez pas inutilement. Although mild speech is helpful in dealing with opposing relatives, our good conduct can speak even louder. (Read 1 Peter 3: 1, 2, 16.) Do not be unduly anxious. Exprimant clairement sa position sur le sujet, Paul s'exclame: "Hommes, frères, je suis un Pharisien, fils de Pharisiens. Rather, as the end of this system draws ever nearer, we need to draw closer to Jehovah and to one another, cultivating genuine friendships within the congregation. Expressing his position clearly, Paul exclaimed: "A man, brothers, I am a Pharisee, son of Pharisees. " Mais Jésus n'a pas révélé combien de temps durerait cette période avant que la fin n'arrive. Il nous faut donc être particulièrement vigilants. Why? However, Jesus did not reveal how long that time would be before the end comes, so we need to be watchful. Seulement, nous savons que, lorsque les enseignements des hommes sont en contradiction avec ce que Dieu a révélé, ce sont toujours les enseignements des hommes qui sont erronés. Why should we " continue in the things we have learned '? However, we know that when men's teachings are in contradiction with what God has revealed, they are always the teachings of men who are false. (Lire Luc 11: 9 - 13.) Maintain friendships with those who will support you. (Read Luke 11: 9 - 13.) La Bible avait prédit qu'à notre époque les gens seraient "amis d'eux - mêmes ." In what ways are God's servants today subject to trials similar to those of Job? The Bible foretold that people would be "lovers of themselves. " Interrogé dans le cadre d'une enquête sur les journaux télévisés aux États - Unis, un homme a sûrement exprimé le sentiment de millions de personnes quand il a dit: " Après avoir regardé les informations, je suis complètement déprimé. Our gracious words can lighten the load of our brothers and sisters. For example, a man in the United States may have expressed the feelings of millions when he said: "After looking at the information, I am totally depressed. Même Pierre, un apôtre, a cédé à la peur et au doute. It stated: "The work appears stupendous, but it is the Lord's, and in his strength we will perform it. Even the apostle Peter, a apostle Peter, gave in to fear and doubt. 7, 8. a) Décrivez les premières étapes du développement d'un fœtus. b) En quel sens un fœtus est - il "tissé dans les parties les plus basses de la terre "? Jesus escaped death in that unimaginable slaughter, but what does this tell us about our enemy Satan? 7, 8. (a) Describe the first steps of a man's development. (b) How is a meaning "in the lowest parts of the earth "? Un mari se démène pour subvenir aux besoins des siens. To what extent should husbands love their wives? A husband supports himself for the needs of his family. Aujourd'hui également, le monde trouve bizarres les personnes qui se conforment aux normes divines. Until God's appointed time, therefore, we need to "endure under tribulation " and" persevere in prayer, " confident that Jehovah cares for us. Today, the world also finds normal people living in harmony with God's standards. Quel état d'esprit ces paroles traduisent - elles? In some ways it is similar to a wedding vow. What is the attitude of those words? De quelles autres manières Jéhovah se montre - t - il fidèle, et quels bienfaits en retirent ses adorateurs? Still, Jehovah is capable of maneuvering matters at the right moment, just as he did back there for the sons of Israel. - Proverbs 3: 5. In what other ways does Jehovah prove faithful, and how does his worshippers benefit? Il y a quelques années, Eduardo et Noemi ont réfléchi aux paroles suivantes de Paul: "La scène de ce monde est en train de changer. Most of the time, they sat us down and just talked to us, Mom sometimes with tears in her eyes, trying to reach our heart. Some years ago, Eduardo and Eduardo thought about Paul's next words: "The scene of this world is changing. Ou: " Qui lui a donné le premier, pour devoir être payé de retour? It has been an invincible enemy, the inescapable end for sinful humans, the source of immeasurable sorrow and grief. Or, "Who gave him first, in order to pay back? " Si vous êtes sur le point d'achever votre scolarité, sans doute êtes - vous en bonne santé et avez - vous peu de responsabilités à assumer. Of what significance are the "white pebble " and the" new name "? If you are about to finish school, you may be healthy and have few responsibilities. Pourquoi peut - on dire que Jéhovah pourvoit amplement à nos besoins? Paul also gave a witness before Governor Festus and King Agrippa. Why can it be said that Jehovah lovingly provides for our needs? De quoi peut être convaincu un chrétien fidèle dont un membre de la famille est excommunié? Yes, while we are in our house, our integrity might be tested. What confidence can a faithful Christian have as a member of the family disfellowshipped? Il serait facile de perdre confiance, de nous convaincre que nous ne nous en débarrasserons jamais. It is also an exciting account of the birth of a nation. It would be easy to lose trust, believing that we will never be able to rid ourselves of it. [ Illustration, page 11] That is a lie that Jesus vigorously contested; God considers each one of us precious. [ Picture on page 11] [ Illustration, page 32] Consider what Jehovah promised King David of ancient Israel by means of the Davidic covenant. [ Picture on page 32] Or, Genèse 2: 18 dit que la femme a été créée par Dieu pour correspondre à l'homme et non en être la réplique. It was Saul's intent to go to Damascus, tear Jesus ' disciples from their homes, and drag them to Jerusalem to face the wrath of the Sanhedrin. However, Genesis 2: 18 says that the woman was created by God to live the man and not to be it. Paul a parlé en termes forts de l'aide que lui ont offerte ses amis fidèles. Yet, they kept free from being entangled in the desires and pursuits of the people around them. Paul described this strong expression of the help he gave his loyal friends. La confiance de Jésus en Jéhovah et en son peuple était bien placée, et c'est aussi le cas pour nous aujourd'hui. Yet, even brothers with limited resources value the privilege of giving. Jesus ' confidence in Jehovah and his people was misplaced, and that is also true of us today. Certaines formes d'atteinte, telles que les caresses sur les seins, les propositions immorales explicites, le fait de montrer de la pornographie à un enfant, le voyeurisme et l'exhibitionnisme peuvent être assimilées à ce que la Bible condamne comme du "dérèglement " ou de l '" impureté " pratiquée "avec avidité ." - Galates 5: 19 - 21; Éphésiens 4: 19. (See opening image.) (b) What is it about Jehovah's kingship that draws us to him? Some forms, such as the leaders in the midst, immoral sexual advances, show pornography to a child, see the Encyclopedia of a child, and the forgets can be choked by what the Bible condemns "uncleanness or uncleanness. " - Galatians 4: 19 - 19; Ephesians 4: 19. Ce qu'ils ont vécu nous fait penser à ces paroles de l'apôtre Pierre: " Après que vous aurez souffert un peu de temps, le Dieu de toute faveur imméritée [...] achèvera lui - même votre formation, il vous rendra fermes, il vous rendra forts ." The invitation to "take life's water " by hearing and responding to the Kingdom good news is open to all. Their experiences remind us of these words of the apostle Peter: "After you have suffered a little while, the God of all undeserved kindness... will make your training firm, he will make you strong. " De bons réflexes. And I shall certainly take you as my people, and I shall indeed prove to be your God. ' " - Exodus 6: 6, 7, footnotes; 15: 1 - 7, 11. What you can do. PAGE 26 ARTICLE 5 ARTICLE 5 Le royaume d'Israël n'a pas échappé au jugement divin. In Jehovah's strength, we will withstand trials, not allowing troubling situations to be stumbling blocks. The kingdom of Israel did not escape divine judgment. Certains ont été élevés par des parents chrétiens, mais n'ont pas cultivé d'amour pour les normes de Jéhovah. Should this not encourage us to move ahead in our ministry, not getting sidetracked by everyday concerns? Some have been raised by Christian parents, but they did not develop love for Jehovah's standards. C'est comme s'il leur avait dit: " Si vous êtes de mon côté, je serai avec vous. Does the way we treat people in the ministry make a difference? It is as if he said to them: " If you are on my side, I shall prove to be with you. ' Comment de mauvaises pensées ont - elles manifestement favorisé la mauvaise conduite d'Akân? Because the Bible commands that both ministerial servants and elders attain a high moral and spiritual standard before they are appointed to serve. How did wrong thoughts have led to Achan's wrong course? ," sous QUI SOMMES - NOUS? > QUESTIONS FRÉQUENTES. " We need to assure our children that their feelings are important to us. under THAT ARE THAT B.C.E.? Mais peu importe à ces individus avides. Why? But no matter what these greedy ones are. " Personne ne peut venir vers moi, si le Père, qui m'a envoyé, ne l'attire ," a dit Jésus. Christians under trial are " a theatrical spectacle to angels. ' " No man can come to me unless the Father, who sent me, draws him, " said Jesus. La Loi renferme de nombreuses leçons d'une grande valeur, que la vie de certains personnages bibliques rappelle de manière frappante. Why? The Law contains many lessons that can help us to appreciate - the lives of some Bible characters in a striking way. " Lors du Mémorial, nous commémorons la mort de Jésus, une mort qui a défendu la souveraineté de Jéhovah. She stopped pressuring me. " At the Memorial, we observe Jesus ' death, a death that upheld Jehovah's sovereignty. Et nous tissons avec lui un lien de confiance indestructible. Their resurrected Lord was about to ascend into heaven, but first he had something important to tell them. And we allow ourselves to be trusted with him. Quelqu'un qui a revêtu la personnalité nouvelle respecte et honore les autres, même s'ils n'ont pas la même religion que lui, et peu importe leurs origines sociales ou raciales. Instead, they are absorbed and deflected. A person who has taken on the new personality respects and honors others, even if they do not have the same religion as he does, regardless of their social or ethnic background. 2) Jéhovah ne répondra pas à nos prières si nous pratiquons le péché volontairement. " I am your share and your inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel. " - NUM. (2) Jehovah will not answer our prayers if we practice sin willfully. Homme misérable que je suis! " - Rom. Job was just and merciful in dealing with his servants. Miserable man that I am! " - Rom. Les paroles d'Élihou concernent les millions de chrétiens qui entretiennent l'espérance de survivre à la destruction du système actuel. Out of our heart's abundance and out of appreciation for all that Jehovah has done for us, let us continue to make whole - souled sacrifices for Jehovah. Elihu's words tell millions of Christians who have the hope of surviving the destruction of this system. De concert avec les chrétiens oints, cette grande foule diffuse la bonne nouvelle selon laquelle Dieu ébranlera bientôt les nations à Har - Maguédôn. • Romans 13: 1, 2? Together with anointed Christians, this great crowd spread the good news that God will soon shine out of the nations at Armageddon. Il ne leur a pas fallu longtemps pour tomber amoureux l'un de l'autre. Not at all. It was not long enough for them to fall in love for each other. En premier lieu, voyons comment, en comparant Jésus et Moïse, nous pouvons améliorer notre compréhension du rôle que Dieu a attribué à Jésus. If we learn about the homeland and culture of those from a foreign background, we may find it easier to interact with them. First, let us see how Jesus and Moses can enhance our understanding of God's role in giving Jesus. Ces informations ne la laissent pas indifférente. " When you come together,... let all things take place for upbuilding. " - 1 COR. Such information does not leave her indifferent. Les enseignements et les actions de Jésus étaient en harmonie avec la Parole de Dieu; ainsi, l'expression "paroles salutaires " se rapporte aussi, par extension, à tous les enseignements de la Bible. Then we might memorize such texts as Proverbs 14: 17 and Ephesians 4: 31. Jesus ' teachings and actions were in harmony with God's Word, as well as the expression " healthful words " refers also by extension, by extension, to all the teachings of the Bible. D'après l'Évangile de Luc, Jésus a comparé les chrétiens à des esclaves qui attendent que leur maître rentre d'un mariage. JEHOVAH, "the living and enduring God, " has preserved his life - giving message for mankind. According to Luke's Gospel, Jesus likened Christians to slaves waiting for their master to return from a wedding. N'oubliez pas que Jéhovah attire à lui ceux qu'il aime. In a world that lacks restraint and that thrives on every sort of immorality, it is all too easy for a deceitful and desperate heart to spawn romantic feelings for someone other than a marriage mate. Remember that Jehovah draws those whom he loves. La douceur est utile pour apaiser des proches opposés à nos croyances, mais notre bonne conduite peut être encore plus efficace (lire 1 Pierre 3: 1, 2, 16). Are not also the tax collectors doing the same thing? Mildness is helpful to relieve family members who are opposed by our beliefs, but our good conduct can be even more effective. (Read 1 Peter 3: 1, 2, 16.) Au contraire, à mesure que nous approchons de la fin, resserrons nos liens avec Dieu et avec nos frères et sœurs; devenons de véritables amis les uns pour les autres. If you follow that advice, you will soon want to dedicate your life to Jehovah and get baptized. Instead, as we draw close to the end, let us strengthen our relationship with God and with our brothers and sisters, making good friends for one another. Pourquoi? Consider some of Paul's wise counsel. Why? Pourquoi devrions - nous demeurer dans les choses que nous avons apprises? Actors portraying news announcers described the landing of an invasion force from Mars that would cause widespread destruction on Earth. Why should we remain in the things that we have learned? Cultivez l'amitié de chrétiens qui pourront vous soutenir. He told his followers: "Continue becoming merciful, just as your Father is merciful. " Develop the friendship of Christians who can help you. Quel genre d'épreuves semblables à celles de Job les serviteurs de Dieu connaissent - ils aujourd'hui? Concerning it, see Volume 2, pages 693 - 4, of Insight on the Scriptures, published by Jehovah's Witnesses. What kind of trials do God's servants face today? C'est pourquoi, en accompagnant notre parole de charme, nous allégerons la charge de nos compagnons. On the second day, the atmosphere began to be formed. Therefore, by accompanying our tongue with graciousness, we can lift the load of our fellow believers. Elle déclarait: " L'œuvre paraît immense, mais c'est celle du Seigneur et nous l'accomplirons grâce à sa puissance. What regrettable past did the apostle Paul have? She said: "The work seems great, but it is that of the Lord and will carry it out through his power. " Bien que Jésus ait échappé à cet abominable massacre, qu'est - ce que cette histoire révèle sur notre ennemi Satan? Joseph's knowing all of that likely reinforced the proddings of his inherited conscience, moving him to reject sexual immorality. - Genesis 2: 24; 12: 17 - 19; 20: 1 - 18; 26: 7 - 14. Although Jesus escaped this terrible death, what does this account tell us about our enemy Satan? D'après Paul, jusqu'où doit aller l'amour d'un mari pour sa femme? * "For example, " Eduardo says," I took my children out of private schools and found good public schools for them. " According to Paul, why should a husband show love for his wife? Il nous faudra donc " endurer dans la tribulation ' et " persévérer dans la prière ' jusqu'au moment fixé par Dieu, en ne doutant pas qu'il se soucie de nous. He is none other than Jesus Christ. So we will need to " endure in tribulation ' and "persevere in prayer " until God's appointed time, not doubting that he cares for us. Cela ressemble à certains égards à la cérémonie du mariage. How have millions today kept Jesus ' word, and despite what circumstances? This is similar in some respects. Toujours est - il que Jéhovah est capable de prendre les choses en main au moment opportun, tout comme il l'a fait à l'époque des fils d'Israël. - Proverbes 3: 5. 1, 2. Still, Jehovah can take matters at the right time, just as he did in the days of the sons of Israel. - Proverbs 3: 5. Le plus souvent, ils se contentaient de nous faire asseoir et ils nous parlaient en essayant de toucher notre cœur; parfois, maman était au bord des larmes. There are many things in life we cannot choose, including our parents, our siblings, and our place of birth. More often, they were content to sit down and to try to touch our heart, sometimes Mom was at the seashore. Aucun humain pécheur ne peut échapper à cette ennemie invincible, qui provoque des chagrins indescriptibles. We do not expect Jehovah to perform miracles for us. No sinful human can escape this overwhelming enemy, causing overwhelming sorrow. Que figurent le "caillou blanc " et le" nom nouveau "? 11, 12. What is the "new one " and" new name "? Comment savoir quand le Repas du Seigneur doit être commémoré? * Among these are thousands of Jehovah's Witnesses. How can we know when the Lord's Evening Meal is to be received? Il a en outre rendu témoignage devant le gouverneur Festus et le roi Agrippa. All in the congregation, including young ones, can do something to strengthen others. He also bore witness before Governor Festus and King Agrippa. En effet, notre intégrité peut être mise à l'épreuve même chez nous. Some years ago, a pioneer in Ireland spoke to a man about God. Yes, our integrity may be tested even in us. C'est aussi le récit passionnant de la naissance d'une nation. Of course not! It is also a thrilling account of the birth of a nation. C'est là un mensonge que Jésus a vigoureusement contesté; Jéhovah considère chacun de nous comme précieux. Consider what happened to two teenage sisters in Uruguay. That is a lie that Jesus challenged; Jehovah views each one of us as precious. Une autre alliance garantit que cela n'arrivera jamais. 53: 1 - How is the person who denies God's existence "senseless "? Another covenant guarantees that this will never happen. Saul avait l'intention de se rendre à Damas, d'arracher les disciples de Jésus à leurs foyers et de les traîner à Jérusalem pour les exposer à la colère du Sanhédrin. But Paul could speak of them while they were still alive and serving God on earth as having "died with reference to sin. " Saul wanted to go to Damascus, remove Jesus ' disciples from their homes, and clear them to Jerusalem to expose them to the wrath of the Sanhedrin. Pourtant, ils ne se sont pas laissé entraîner par les désirs et les objectifs des gens qui les entouraient. But God has " made manifest ' enough knowledge through the Scriptures and in nature to enable truth - seekers living in any era to acquire faith that is based on evidence. - Romans 1: 19, 20; Hebrews 11: 1, 3. Yet, they did not succumb to the desires and goals of those around them. Pourtant, même ceux qui ont peu de moyens considèrent comme un honneur de donner. The time comes when most elderly people are no longer able to care for themselves fully; they need some assistance. (Read Ecclesiastes 12: 1 - 7.) Yet, even those who have little means to view themselves as a privilege to give. (voir illustration du titre). b) Pourquoi la façon dont Jéhovah exerce sa royauté nous attire - t - elle à lui? Why can "the very knowledge of God " be compared to" hid treasures "? (See opening image.) (b) Why does Jehovah's way of ruling draw us to him? L'invitation à "pren [dre] l'eau de la vie ," en entendant la bonne nouvelle du Royaume et en y étant réceptif, s'adresse à chacun. Jehovah accepted such sacrifices, but they could not fully compensate for the sins of the offerers. The invitation to "take life's water take life's water, " listening to the good news of the Kingdom, and respond favorably to it. Oui, je vous prendrai pour mon peuple et je serai votre Dieu. ' " - Exode 6: 6, 7, notes; 15: 1 - 7, 11. Can we find room in our heart to forgive? And I will take you to my people and prove to be your God. ' " - Exodus 6: 6, 7, 8; 15: 1 - 7, 11. PAGE 32 We must choose our associates wisely. ARTICLE 5 Grâce à la force de Jéhovah, nous résisterons aux épreuves: nous ne permettrons pas aux situations perturbantes de nous faire trébucher. How? With Jehovah's strength, we can resist trials: We will not allow ourselves to be stumbled. Cela ne devrait - il pas nous inciter à aller de l'avant dans le ministère, sans nous laisser distraire par des préoccupations secondaires? Jehovah is reasonable in what he expects of us. Should this not move us to move forward in the ministry without being distracted by secondary concerns? Dans le ministère, la façon dont nous traitons les gens a - t - elle de l'importance? Eventually, he invented a synthetic equivalent - Velcro. How did the way we treat people in our ministry affect them? Parce que les Écritures exigent que les frères établis à l'une ou l'autre de ces fonctions aient un haut niveau moral et spirituel avant leur nomination. Jesus told his disciples: "By this all will know that you are my disciples - if you have love among yourselves. " Because the Scriptures require that those appointed men be appointed to each other be a high moral and spiritual level before their appointment. " On doit rassurer nos enfants sur le fait que leurs sentiments comptent pour nous. Self - restraint in such situations is not automatic, yet it is easier if we realize that our actions are in line with God's example and in harmony with his counsel. We need to reassure our children about the fact that their feelings do for us. Pourquoi? (Read Matthew 11: 27.) Why? Les chrétiens sous le feu de l'épreuve sont "un spectacle [...] pour les anges ." Referring to this superlative expression of God's love, the apostle Paul wrote: "Christ died for ungodly men at the appointed time. Christians under trial are "a hour... for the angels. " Pourquoi? Here are a few suggestions. Why? Elle a donc cessé de faire pression sur moi. A father of twin sons held pioneer service before them as a goal from their early childhood. So she stopped pressureing me. " Les disciples de Jésus étaient rassemblés sur une montagne, en Galilée. Lessons for Us: Jesus ' disciples were gathered on a mountain in Galilee. Mais cette énergie est absorbée ou déviée. Like dawn, his going forth is firmly established. But that energy is deviated from time to time. " C'est moi qui suis ta part et ton héritage au milieu des fils d'Israël. " - NOMB. 14, 15. " I am your share and your inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel. " - PS. Job traitait ses serviteurs avec justice et miséricorde. He exhorted them "not to be quickly shaken from [their] reason. " Job dealt with his servants in justice and mercy. Continuons donc à nourrir de la reconnaissance pour tout ce que Jéhovah a fait en notre faveur et à lui offrir des sacrifices de toute notre âme. Habakkuk asked sincere questions, and Jehovah answered him. May we continue to cherish all that Jehovah has done in our behalf and offer sacrifices of our whole soul. • Romains 13: 1, 2? The jailer feared that the prisoners had fled and was about to kill himself. • Romans 13: 1, 2? Pas du tout. However, we can be assured that when we pray in harmony with God's will, Jehovah will never tell us: "Quit making me trouble. " - Luke 11: 5 - 9. Not at all. Si nous nous informons sur le pays et la culture des personnes étrangères, il nous sera sans doute plus facile de communiquer avec elles. What sacrifices do we make in our worship of God? If we are corrected on the country and culture of foreign people, we may find it easier to communicate with them. " Lorsque vous vous réunissez, [...] que tout se fasse pour bâtir. " - 1 COR. " I CALL to you, O God, but you never answer; and when I pray, you pay no attention. " When you gather together... let all things take place for building up. " - 1 COR. Retenons des textes comme Proverbes 14: 17 et Éphésiens 4: 31. They ignore the words of Leviticus 19: 18, which says: "You must love your fellow as yourself. " Remember, such texts as Proverbs 14: 17 and Ephesians 4: 31. JÉHOVAH, le " Dieu vivant et qui subsiste ," a préservé le message de vie qu'il adresse aux humains. Minor gambling was also done illicitly in the back rooms of inns and taverns. JEHOVAH, the "living God and enduring, " preserved his message to humans. Nous vivons dans un monde sans retenue, qui se complaît dans toutes sortes d'actes immoraux. • How can we repudiate valueless words? We live in a world without self - control, which is being carried out in all kinds of immoral acts. Les collecteurs d'impôts aussi n'en font - ils pas autant? 66,967 Do not tax collectors also do such things? Si tu suis ce conseil, tu ne tarderas pas à vouloir vouer ta vie à Jéhovah et te faire baptiser. This involved recognizing that they could not establish their righteousness through the Mosaic Law arrangement. If you are that counsel, you soon want to dedicate your life to Jehovah and get baptized. Revoyons quelques sages recommandations de Paul. John said: "The reason why I came baptizing in water was that [the Messiah] might be made manifest to Israel.... Let us review some of Paul's wise counsel. Des acteurs jouent le rôle de journalistes et décrivent l'atterrissage de forces d'invasion venues de Mars dans le but de semer la destruction sur la Terre. Yes, the Law was "a shadow of the good things to come, but not the very substance of the things. " For example, information has been used as a journal, and it has been full of strength from Mary to sow destruction on the earth. Il a dit à ses disciples: "Continuez à devenir miséricordieux, comme votre Père est miséricordieux. (b) Relate an example. He told his disciples: "Keep on becoming merciful, just as your Father is merciful. " À ce propos, voir Étude perspicace des Écritures, volume 2, pages 677 - 8 (publié par les Témoins de Jéhovah). But they appropriately use the Bible to show that present harsh conditions will not go on forever. In this regard, see Insight on the Scriptures, Volume 2, pages 6 - 8, published by Jehovah's Witnesses. La formation de l'atmosphère a débuté lors du deuxième jour. When faced with opposition, we too can overcome fear by keeping in our mind "the great and the fear - inspiring One. " The training of the atmosphere began during the second day. Quels actes regrettables Paul a - t - il commis? Let us remember that Jehovah's organization is made up of two parts, one in heaven and the other on earth. What kind of actions did Paul do? La connaissance que Joseph avait de ces choses a probablement rendu plus sensible la conscience dont il avait hérité, ce qui l'a poussé à refuser l'immoralité sexuelle. - Genèse 2: 24; 12: 17 - 19; 20: 1 - 18; 26: 7 - 14. Anna's example teaches us that we should worship Jehovah with constancy, "persevere in prayer, " and not forsake" the gathering of ourselves together " at Christian meetings. - Rom. Joseph's knowledge of these things likely made him more sensitive to the conscience he had inherited and moved him to reject sexual immorality. - Genesis 2: 24; 12: 17 - 19; 20: 1 - 18; 26: 7 - 14. " Par exemple, dit Eduardo, j'ai retiré mes filles de leurs écoles privées et je les ai inscrites dans de bonnes écoles publiques. This means that relief is near and that the wicked world system is soon to be replaced by the rule of the perfect Kingdom of God, for which Jesus taught his followers to pray. " For example, " Eduardo says, "I took my daughters away from their private schools and enrolled them in public schools. Ce Fils angélique fut la toute première création quand, il y a fort longtemps, Jéhovah décida de se mettre à créer. • Cultivate it even in little things That angelic Son was the first creation when there was long before Jehovah decided to create. Comment des millions de chrétiens ont - ils gardé la parole de Jésus à notre époque, et cela malgré quelles situations? Will the account about Asa move us to examine our own course of action? How have millions of Christians kept Jesus ' word in our day, and with what circumstances? 1, 2. 1: 5 - 8. 1, 2. Il y a dans la vie de nombreuses choses que l'on ne choisit pas: sa famille, son lieu de naissance, etc. Very likely you can remember many other Bible characters who produced "the fruit of lips " in their later years. - 1 Samuel 8: 1, 10; 12: 2; 1 Kings 14: 4, 5; Luke 1: 7, 67 - 79; 2: 22 - 32. There are many things we choose - his family, her place of birth, and so forth. Nous n'attendons pas de Jéhovah qu'il fasse des miracles pour nous. In recent decades, discipline has all but disappeared from some households, as parents fear that correction might lower a child's self - esteem. We do not expect Jehovah to perform miracles for us. 11, 12. Paul looked to God for help and could say: "For all things I have the strength by virtue of him [Jehovah] who imparts power to me. " 11, 12. Il y a parmi eux des milliers de Témoins de Jéhovah. That spiritual nation, "the Israel of God, " became Jehovah's new slave. There are thousands of Jehovah's Witnesses. Tous les membres de la congrégation, y compris les jeunes, peuvent faire quelque chose pour fortifier les autres. These aids include the video The Wonders of Creation Reveal God's Glory, the brochures Was Life Created? All in the congregation, including young ones, can do something to strengthen others. Il y a quelques années en Irlande, un pionnier a parlé de Dieu à un homme. " The pillar of cloud " that was leading the Israelites moved to their rear, blocking the approach of Pharaoh's army and throwing them into darkness. Some years ago, a pioneer spoke of God to a man. Non, bien sûr! Jesus explained: "No one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick to the one and despise the other. Of course not! Voyez ce qui est arrivé à deux sœurs adolescentes en Uruguay. This is because of our love for Jehovah and our regular communication with each other. " Consider what happened to two sisters in benefiting from this experience. 53: 1 - En quoi celui qui nie l'existence de Dieu est - il "insensé "? To instruct your child effectively, what is it important for you to know? 53: 1 - How is the one who is neither God's existence "filled "? Mais, tandis qu'ils étaient toujours en vie et servaient Dieu sur terre, Paul a pu dire d'eux qu'ils étaient " morts par rapport au péché ." How did the view and attitude of those in Sardis and Laodicea compare with Jesus ' view of their spiritual condition? But while they were still alive and served God on earth, Paul could say of them that they were " dead in connection with sin. ' Mais Dieu a rendu "manifeste " suffisamment de connaissance dans les Écritures et dans la nature pour qu'à n'importe quelle époque ceux qui cherchent la vérité puissent acquérir la foi, une foi fondée sur du concret. - Romains 1: 19, 20; Hébreux 11: 1, 3. Those words are a comforting assurance that God uses these heavenly creatures to help humans. But God sent "the word of knowledge " into the Scriptures and in nature so that at any time those seeking the truth can gain faith, based on a solid foundation of faith. - Romans 1: 19, 20; Hebrews 11: 1, 3. Tôt ou tard, la plupart des personnes âgées ne sont plus complètement autonomes; elles ont besoin d'une certaine assistance (lire Ecclésiaste 12: 1 - 7). He therefore rewarded them with their own families. - Ex. (Read Ecclesiastes 12: 1 - 7.) Pourquoi peut - on comparer "la connaissance de Dieu " à" des trésors cachés "? Also, I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to you. Why can we compare "the very knowledge of God " to" hidden treasures "? Jéhovah agréait les sacrifices d'animaux, mais ces sacrifices ne pouvaient pas couvrir entièrement les péchés de ceux qui les offraient. Consider also the matter of sexual immorality. Jehovah accepted animal sacrifices, but those sacrifices were not able to cover completely the sins of those who offered them. Pouvons - nous ménager une place au pardon dans notre cœur? We do well to remember that Satan wants to use the tribulations we suffer to undermine our faith. Can we make room for forgiveness in our heart? Faisons donc preuve de sagesse dans le choix de nos fréquentations. 2: 24. By all means, then, make wise choices in choosing our associates. Comment s'y prenait - il? Those entering the Kingdom of the heavens must be "born again. " How did he do so? Jéhovah est raisonnable dans ce qu'il attend de nous. Of course, if their parents need care, full - time servants will do all they can and will come to help them as often as possible. Jehovah is reasonable in what he expects of us. Finalement, il a inventé un équivalent synthétique, le velcro. True, Jehovah repurchased Israel from slavery in Egypt and consequently declared: "You people only have I known out of all the families of the ground. " Finally, he introduced a equivalent process, the Adamic K.S. Jésus a dit à ses disciples: " Par là tous sauront que vous êtes mes disciples, si vous avez de l'amour entre vous ." Yet, Jehovah viewed those kings as having a complete heart. Jesus told his disciples: "By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves. " Ce n'est sans doute pas facile, mais tu y arriveras si tu comprends qu'en te maîtrisant, tu imites Jéhovah et tu suis ses conseils. A number have even left the way of the truth. You may not find it easy, but you will do it if you recognize that by exercising self - control, you imitate Jehovah and you are his counsel. (Lire Matthieu 11: 27.) 3: 7. (Read Matthew 11: 27.) Concernant cette preuve extraordinaire de l'amour de Dieu, l'apôtre Paul a écrit: " Christ [...] est mort pour des impies, au temps fixé. You see, that is when I thought: These are the true Christians. " Regarding this amazing proof of God's love, the apostle Paul wrote: "Christ... died for ungodly people at the appointed time. Voici quelques suggestions: A good shepherd carefully examines each sheep to make sure that it is healthy. Consider some suggestions: Un père avait encouragé dès leur tendre enfance ses deux jumeaux à se fixer l'objectif du service de pionnier. That plan apparently gave him such a sense of security and satisfaction that he thought to himself: "I will say to my soul: " Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, enjoy yourself. ' " - Luke 12: 19. A father had encouraged his father from infancy to set the goal of pioneering. Quelques leçons: In some instances, the parents may choose to make some adjustment in the set time as long as Bible principles are not being jeopardized. Lessons for Us: Comme l'aurore, sa sortie est solidement établie. Daniel, a brother in Mexico, needed to choose between being loyal to God and seeking his own selfish interests. Like the dawn, her going out would be firmly established. 14, 15. Paul also stressed unity in his letter to the Ephesians. - Ephesians 4: 1 - 6, 16. 14, 15. Il les a donc exhortés à " ne pas [se] laisser rapidement ébranler dans [leur] bon sens ." How can we benefit from dedicating time to spiritual matters? He urged them: "Do not quickly be shaken from their reason. " Comme Habaqouq était sincère, Jéhovah a répondu à ses questions. What can we do to build such godly patience? HOW DO I CULTIVATE GODLY PATIENCE? As Habakkuk was sincere, Jehovah answered his questions. Comme le gardien pensait que les prisonniers s'étaient échappés, il voulait se suicider. In a figurative sense, the message emanating from the Bible is sharper than any man - made sword, for it figuratively pierces to the dividing of bones and their marrow. As the jailer thought that the prisoners escaped, he wanted to commit fornication. Soyons certains, toutefois, que si nos prières sont conformes à sa volonté Jéhovah ne nous dira jamais: "Cesse de me causer des ennuis. " - Luc 11: 5 - 9. These thoughts go through the mind of an elder who has just officiated at the couple's wedding. However, if our prayers are in harmony with his will, Jehovah will never say to us: "Stop making me trouble. " - Luke 11: 5 - 9. Quels sacrifices peut - on faire dans le cadre du culte? 6: 12; Jude 3. What sacrifices can be made in connection with worship? " MON Dieu, je t'appelle, mais tu ne réponds pas; je me tiens devant toi, mais ton regard me perce. If you are serving as an elder or a ministerial servant, are you not humbly grateful to Jehovah for entrusting you with such a privilege of service? " MY God, I call you, but you do not answer me; but your eyes do break me up. Ils ne tiennent aucun compte des paroles de Lévitique 19: 18: "Tu dois aimer ton compagnon comme toi - même. Let your relatives see in you an example of Christian living. They ignore the words of Leviticus 19: 18: "You must love your fellow as yourself. " On s'adonnait aussi à des jeux d'argent illégaux portant sur de petites sommes dans les arrière - boutiques des auberges et des cabarets. Through the pages of the Bible, Jehovah tells us clearly: "This is the way. In other cases, he was also involved in gambling games that were largely in the wilderness - in the race toes and toes. • Comment rejeter les paroles sans valeur? Why can human governments not bring about the changes mankind needs most? • How can we avoid valueless words? 66 967 • What effect might the resurrection hope have on the way you live? 66 C.E. Cela supposait admettre qu'ils ne pouvaient pas établir leur justice par la Loi mosaïque. My intestines are in a ferment. This suggests that they could not establish their righteousness by the Mosaic Law. Jean avait dit: "Voilà pourquoi je suis venu baptiser dans l'eau: pour qu'il [le Messie] soit manifesté à Israël. [...] Jehovah asks: "Why should you be afraid of a mortal man who will die and of a son of man who will wither like green grass? " - Isa. John said: "That is why I came to be baptized in water, that he [the Messiah] might be shown to Israel.... En effet, la Loi était " une ombre des bonnes choses à venir, mais non la substance même des choses ." Peter was one of those who had been "filled with holy spirit and [who had] started to speak with different tongues. " After all, the Law was "a shadow of the good things to come, but not the very substance of the things. " b) Cite un exemple. 11: 2 - 6 - If because of having heard God's voice of approval John already knew that Jesus was the Messiah, why did he ask if Jesus was "the Coming One "? (b) Illustrate. En revanche, en se servant de la Bible, ils montrent que les conditions difficiles qui règnent aujourd'hui ne dureront pas indéfiniment. In the face of challenges today, what are husbands urged to remember and to do? On the other hand, by using the Bible, they show that the difficult conditions that now exist will not continue indefinitely. Quand nous nous heurtons à l'opposition, nous aussi nous pouvons surmonter notre peur en nous souvenant de Jéhovah, "le Grand et le Redoutable ." (b) Why should we allow Jesus ' words recorded at Matthew 5: 47 to affect the way we treat people? When faced with opposition, we too can overcome our fear by remembering Jehovah, "the Greater and the fear - inspiring one. " L'organisation de Jéhovah se compose de deux parties, l'une céleste et l'autre terrestre. Hence, Jews in Jeremiah's day needed figurative heart surgery - " circumcision of the heart ' - even as those in Moses ' time did. Jehovah's organization is made up of two parts, one heavenly and the other. L'exemple d'Anne nous enseigne que nous devrions adorer Jéhovah avec constance, "persévére [r] dans la prière " et ne pas abandonner" notre assemblée ," c'est - à - dire nos réunions chrétiennes. - Rom. How might we do that? Anna's example teaches us that we should worship Jehovah with constancy, "persevere in prayer, " not" abandon our congregation meetings, " that is, our Christian meetings. - Rom. Cela signifie que le soulagement est proche et que le monde méchant sera bientôt remplacé par le Royaume de Dieu, royaume parfait pour lequel Jésus a appris à ses disciples à prier. Doing so calls for examining ourselves to see what we have set our hearts on. This means that relief is near and that the wicked world will soon be replaced by God's Kingdom, which Jesus taught his followers to pray. • Cultivez - la même dans les petites choses. 11: 26, 27; 28: 1 - 14. What shows that the first - century Christian congregation was organized? • Develop the same outlook in small matters. Le récit concernant Asa nous incitera - t - il à examiner nos propres actions? We give proof of maturity by training our perceptive powers. Will the account about Asa move us to examine our own actions? " - 2 Pierre 1: 5 - 8. 1: 3. ARTICLE 6 Pornography - Harmless or Toxic? 1: 5 - 8. Vous vous souvenez très certainement d'autres personnages de la Bible qui ont produit " le fruit des lèvres ' dans leur vieillesse. - 1 Samuel 8: 1, 10; 12: 2; 1 Rois 14: 4, 5; Luc 1: 7, 67 - 79; 2: 22 - 32. This happened to a Christian sister named Mary. You likely recall other Bible characters who produced "the fruit of lips " in old age. - 1 Samuel 8: 1, 10; 12: 2; 1 Kings 14: 4, 5; Luke 1: 7, 67 - 79; 2: 22 - 32. Jéhovah désire que ses serviteurs soient généreux, notamment envers les pauvres. For example, they neglected taking in solid spiritual food. Jehovah wants his servants to be generous, especially toward the poor. Ces dernières décennies, la discipline a presque disparu de certains foyers, parce que des parents craignent que réprimander leur enfant nuise à son estime de soi. All of that can distract us, causing our spiritual vision to get out of focus. In recent decades, discipline has almost gone out of certain homes because parents fear that their children would rebuke their child for self - respect. Paul avait l'habitude de rechercher l'aide de Dieu; il pouvait donc dire à bon droit: "Pour toutes choses j'ai cette force grâce à celui [Jéhovah] qui me donne de la puissance. ." We will also examine some forms of full - time service in modern times and see how we can remember the dear ones who have offered themselves to serve in special ways. Paul had the custom of seeking God's help, so he could say: "For all things I have the strength by virtue of him [Jehovah] who imparts power to me. " Cette nation spirituelle, "l'Israël de Dieu ," est devenue le nouvel esclave de Jéhovah. That is, assurance that our God and Life - Giver has the ability to bring a dead person back to life. That spiritual nation, "the Israel of God, " became Jehovah's new slave. Citons la vidéo Les merveilles de la création révèlent la gloire de Dieu, les brochures La vie a - t - elle été créée? And what will help us to remain positive even when we are undergoing severe trials? What are some of the wonders of creation that reveal God's glory, the brochures Was Life created? " La colonne de nuage " qui conduisait les Israélites est passée sur leurs arrières, empêchant l'armée égyptienne de s'approcher et la plongeant dans l'obscurité. Because they failed to keep exercising faith in Jehovah's promises. The pillar of cloud that led the Israelites back on their left, preventing the Egyptian army from drawing near and concealing it in darkness. Jésus a expliqué: "Personne ne peut travailler comme un esclave pour deux maîtres; car ou il haïra l'un et aimera l'autre, ou il s'attachera à l'un et méprisera l'autre. He explains: "My wife and I have a personal study with both girls in French, their mother tongue. Jesus explained: "No one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick to the one and despise the other. Nous le devons à notre amour pour Jéhovah et à une communication régulière. " (b) What will we now consider? We need to love Jehovah and to have regular communication. " Pour instruire efficacement votre enfant, que vous est - il important de connaître? In his prayer recorded in Psalm 40, David asked to be safeguarded by Jehovah's loving - kindness and trueness. What is important if you are to teach your child effectively? Dans quelle mesure le regard que Jésus portait sur les chrétiens de Sardes et de Laodicée différait - il de leur point de vue et de leur état d'esprit? [ Picture on page 26] How did Jesus view Christians in Sardis and Laodicea differ from their viewpoint and attitude? Ces versets sont réconfortants: ils attestent que Dieu utilise ses créatures célestes pour aider les humains. In the past, we have stated in our publications that these last four references apply to Jesus ' arriving, or coming, in 1918. These verses are comforting: They testify that God is using his heavenly creatures to help mankind. En outre, je ne suis plus dans le monde, mais eux sont dans le monde et moi je viens vers toi. Jesus ' attitude harmonized with his words found at John 3: 17: "God sent forth his Son into the world, not for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved through him. " And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to you. " Parlons aussi de l'immoralité sexuelle. " That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth. " - PS. Consider, too, sexual immorality. Rappelons - nous que Satan exploite nos épreuves pour saper notre foi ainsi que notre joie. 1: 17, 26. Remember, Satan tries to exploit our trials to undermine our faith and our joy. 2: 24. It is disrespectful to consider those of another nation to be inferior to people in one's own country. 2: 24. " Ainsi, ceux qui allaient entrer dans le Royaume des cieux devaient "naît [re] de nouveau ." Would you not count that as true success? Thus, those who would enter into the Kingdom of the heavens were to "become drunk again. " Bien sûr, si leurs parents ont besoin d'assistance, les serviteurs à plein temps feront tout ce qu'ils peuvent et iront les aider le plus souvent possible. The unkindness could be expressed by spiteful neighbors, unfriendly strangers, even friends and family members who may, at times, act thoughtlessly. Of course, if parents need assistance, full - time servants do all they can and will help them as often as possible. Certes, Jéhovah a racheté Israël de l'esclavage en Égypte, et a déclaré: "Je n'ai connu que vous de toutes les familles du sol. That remnant would reject Baal worship and seek a renewed covenant relationship with Jehovah. True, Jehovah delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt, and he said: "I have known you all the families of the ground. " Pourtant, Jéhovah a estimé que ces rois avaient un cœur complet. September 1 - 7, 2008 Yet, Jehovah saw that those kings had a complete heart. Certains ont même quitté la vérité. They are coming from behind us, as it were, in the stream of time. Some even left the truth. 3: 7. [ Footnotes] 3: 7. Vous voyez, à ce moment - là, je me suis fait la réflexion: c'est eux les vrais chrétiens. " Nazirites were to abstain from the product of the vine and all intoxicating beverages, requiring self - denial. Imagine that at that point, I began to think about myself - they are true Christians. " Un bon berger veille sur la santé de chaque mouton en l'inspectant soigneusement. What would Jehovah do? A good shepherd is watching over the health of each sheep by listening carefully. Ce projet lui a apparemment procuré un tel sentiment de sécurité et de satisfaction qu'il a pensé: "Je dirai à mon âme: " Mon âme, tu as quantité de bonnes choses en réserve pour de nombreuses années; tiens - toi tranquille, mange, bois, donne - toi du bon temps. ' " - Luc 12: 19. [ Picture on page 15] Will you show trust similar to that of Jehovah's people in Joshua's day? (See paragraphs 17, 18) That plan apparently gave him such a sense of security and satisfaction, saying: "I will say to my soul, " My soul, you have plenty of good things in store for many years; eat, eat, drink, drink, good time. ' " - Luke 12: 19. Ils décideront alors peut - être de modifier l'heure fixée dans la mesure où aucun principe biblique n'est enfreint. Respect Marriage as a Gift From God They may then decide to adjust the hour to which no Scriptural principle is forbidden. Daniel, qui vit au Mexique, a dû choisir entre la fidélité à Dieu et la poursuite de ses intérêts égoïstes. * Jesus, of course, was not encouraging his disciples to act in an unrighteous way in order to survive in this world. Daniel, who lives in Mexico, had to choose between loyalty to God and pursuing selfish interests. Paul a également souligné l'importance de l'unité dans sa lettre aux Éphésiens. - Éphésiens 4: 1 - 6, 16. What is a powerful feature of the sign of Jesus ' presence? Paul also emphasized the importance of unity in his letter to the Ephesians. - Ephesians 4: 1 - 6, 16. Que nous apporte le fait de consacrer du temps aux questions spirituelles? What is one area in which Satan has sought to undermine God's authority? How can we benefit from spending time to spiritual matters? Qu'est - ce qui nous aidera à acquérir une telle patience? And by preaching the good news, we appeal to the conscience of those to whom we speak. What will help us to develop such patience? Figurément, elle est plus acérée qu'aucune épée forgée par l'homme, car elle pénètre jusqu'à la division des os et de leur moelle.

In that sense we are slaves of sin, and the outcome is frustration, pain, suffering, and finally death. Are we not particularly convinced of the fulfillment of inspired prophecies that affect our immediate future? Car il détournera ton fils de ma suite, et vraiment ils serviront d'autres dieux; et la colère de Jéhovah s'enflammera bel et bien contre vous, et, à coup sûr, il t'anéantira bien vite ." Furthermore, when an elder has a balanced view of himself, he will have a warm and refreshing manner. For he will turn your son from following me, and they will certainly serve other gods; and Jehovah's anger will indeed blaze against you, and he will certainly annihilate you well. " Comme ses desseins n'échouent jamais et que nous prenons plaisir à ses commandements, nous prospérons spirituellement. Rather than pursuing a materialistic way of life, it is better to seek God's approval - that is the way of true wisdom and happiness. As his purposes never picture and delight in his commandments, we build ourselves spiritually. La cinquième tête de la bête sauvage représente la Grèce. No doubt, using God's Word to help others to improve their lives is a source of satisfaction and joy. The fifth head of the wild beast represents Greece. Beaucoup agissent ainsi parce qu'ils vivent et travaillent dans un contexte où il est habituel de parler durement. Why may we find it a challenge to do so? Many do this because they live and work in a context where it is common to speak harshly. S'ils m'ont persécuté, ils vous persécuteront aussi. 5: 1 - 7: 29. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also. " 15: 27, 28. You can draw comfort from God's Word. 15: 27, 28. Comment convaincre quelqu'un de la véracité du message biblique? One way Satan does this is by making his world seem attractive, alluring. How can we convince someone of the truthfulness of the Bible's message? C'est aussi par amour qu'ils s'efforcent de s'intéresser à chacune des brebis de la congrégation. Just as vines that produce good grapes bring honor to a cultivator, so we bring honor, or glory, to Jehovah when we proclaim the Kingdom message to the best of our abilities. - Matt. They also show love by endeavoring to show an interest in each of the sheep in the congregation. Mais il est insuffisant de lire la Bible et les publications seulement à nos moments perdus. We must be careful that our lips are guided by Scriptural principles and that they do not deviate from what is righteous, chaste, and virtuous. However, reading the Bible and our publications can be read only at any time we may have lost. De quoi jouissent ceux qui sont riches à l'égard de Dieu? While the Bible does not reveal Rachel's motive for the exchange, she may have thought that the mandrakes would help her conceive and end her reproach of being barren. What do those who are rich toward God enjoy? " Tenez ferme dans la foi, [...] devenez forts ." As a result, he could say: "I am clean from the blood of all men. " (Read Acts 20: 26, 27.) " Stand firm in the faith,... become strong. " - HEB. Que faut - il garder à l'esprit quand nous enseignons la Bible à une personne? When those "rightly disposed for everlasting life " become believers and get baptized, we have sound reasons to say to them," Welcome to the best way of life! " What should we bear in mind when conducting a Bible study? 11: 3a. Why did Abraham need to show patience? 11: 3a. Les chrétiens doivent se garder de former un attelage disparate avec un non - croyant. Still, salvation is foretold for individuals who exercise faith in Jehovah. Christians must avoid training with an unbeliever. Quels encouragements Josué a - t - il reçus? A shrewd person realizes that contemplation can be like a fire. What encouragement did Joshua receive? • Qu'avez - vous appris des exemples d'Abraham, d'Isaac, de Jacob et de Joseph? How so? • What have you learned from the examples of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph? Hanna Yet, making a wise choice may be the hardest thing a woman ever does, since her desire for the closeness and love possible in marriage can be very strong. Hannah ." Nous faisons une "déclaration publique " non seulement à notre baptême, mais aussi lorsque nous parlons de Jéhovah en toute occasion, par exemple quand nous prenons part au ministère. Do You Recall? We make "a public declaration " not only to our baptism but also when we talk about Jehovah at every opportunity, such as when we share in the ministry. Faites des progrès spirituels en suivant l'exemple de Paul If we respond to the spirit's direction, we will display "the greatest freeness of speech " in our ministry. Make Spiritual Advancement by Following Paul's Example Tout comme le gecko s'attache à des surfaces lisses, les chrétiens s'attachent à ce qui est bon. (Read Psalm 90: 4.) Just as the gecko puts his surface down, Christians are fond of what is good. ." Pour les Juifs qui chantaient ces paroles, la mention de la montagne sainte de Jéhovah évoquait sans aucun doute le mont Sion, où le roi David avait apporté l'arche de l'alliance dans la tente qu'il avait dressée. But the results include immeasurable happiness. For the Jews who singing those words, the mention of Jehovah's holy mountain was likely referring to Mount Zion, where King David had brought the ark of the covenant in his tent. Parfois même ils ignoraient la signification de ce qu'ils annonçaient ou écrivaient. The apostle Peter wrote of Jesus: "He is at God's right hand, for he went his way to heaven; and angels and authorities and powers were made subject to him. " At times, they did not know the meaning of what they said or were down. Comme Abraham, ils se réjouissent à la perspective de vivre sous la domination du Royaume. In what way are Christians different from the world? Like Abraham, they rejoice at the prospect of living under Kingdom rule. 17, 18. How do we personally benefit from the panoramic view that this parable provides? 17, 18. Pour changer, avance ta main, s'il te plaît, et touche jusqu'à son os et à sa chair, et vois s'il ne te maudit pas à ta face. I don't check it for days at a time. To change, stretch out your hand, please, and touch to his bones and flesh, and see whether he will curse you to your very face. Jésus leur a répondu: "N'avez - vous pas lu que celui qui les a créés, dès le commencement les a faits mâle et femelle, et qu'il a dit: " C'est pourquoi l'homme quittera son père et sa mère et s'attachera à sa femme, et les deux seront une seule chair '? After considering them, are we not moved to bless, or praise, Jehovah? Jesus replied: "Have you not read that the one who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and he said: " That is why a man will leave his father and his mother and will stick to his wife, and the two will be one flesh '? 14, 15. • Why should we fear God, and what does fearing him mean? 14, 15. L'esprit saint a veillé à ce que l'imperfection humaine n'entache pas le message divin. In the meantime, Jehovah's purpose unfailingly advanced through the chosen genealogical line down to Jesus ' appearing as the promised Messiah. - Luke 3: 15, 23 - 38; Galatians 4: 4. Holy spirit has seen to it that human imperfection do not break God's message. • Pourquoi devons - nous reconnaître en Jéhovah notre Souverain Seigneur? True friends of God must be honest of heart and must give evidence of "faith without hypocrisy, " for acts of truthfulness come from the heart. • Why should we recognize Jehovah as our Sovereign Lord? Quand les frères de Rome ont reçu la visite de l'apôtre Paul, ils ont sûrement apprécié l ' " échange d'encouragements " qui a eu lieu et, durant l'époque troublée actuelle, nous apprécions également de tels échanges. The best decisions are seldom the easiest to implement. When the brothers in Rome received the visit of the apostle Paul, they no doubt appreciated "an interchange of encouragement " that took place and, during these turbulent times, we also appreciate such gatherings. Notons, dans les propos de Paul, les qualités qui pourraient leur être utiles, puis réfléchissons à la manière dont nous favoriserons nous - mêmes l'unité en cultivant ces qualités. Who in the Christian congregation should reach out to those who are weak? Notice, too, how we can promote unity by cultivating these qualities. Instruis - moi de ta voie, ô Jéhovah! What instructions for survival are given to the Israelites, and with what result? I will lift me up from your way, O Jehovah. " Auraient - ils été capables de comprendre nos besoins, nos faiblesses ou nos aspirations? In imitation of both Christ and the great "cloud of witnesses " who preceded him, true Christians proudly use God's name. Would they be able to understand our needs, weaknesses, or desires? Ces vérités inestimables révèlent pourquoi Dieu permet le mal, pourquoi nous mourons, comment prier et comment être vraiment heureux. How extensive will Kingdom rule be, and why will its peace never be disrupted? These priceless truths reveal why God permits evil, why we die, how we can pray, and how we can be truly happy. Le Messie semblerait abandonné par Dieu. Others are also anointed to serve as kings and priests. The Messiah would seem to be abandoned by God. PAGE 3 18: 1 - 4; 20: 20 - 28. ARTICLE 1 Est - ce que je cache aux autres la quantité de vin ou d'alcool que je consomme? Consider, for instance, his dealings with faithful patriarchs, beginning with Abraham. Do I hide the amount of wine or drink I consume? Des bénédictions attendent ceux qui prêchent "sans arrêt " Jehovah's laws are for our own protection. Blessings await those who preach "without letup " Ils ressemblent aux Juifs à qui Jésus a dit: "Vous n'avez jamais entendu sa voix et vous n'avez pas non plus vu sa forme; et sa parole, vous ne l'avez pas qui demeure en vous. If the offering was a living animal, it was to be left "in front of the altar " of burnt offering in the priests ' courtyard of the temple. They are like the Jews whom Jesus said: "You have never heard his voice and have not seen his form; and his word you have not yet seen it in you. Jéhovah l'ayant assuré qu'il ne détruirait pas Sodome s'il y avait "cinquante justes au milieu de la ville ," Abraham a abaissé progressivement ce nombre jusqu'à dix. - Genèse 18: 22 - 33. In his letter to the Hebrews, the apostle Paul wrote: "The word of God is alive and exerts power and is sharper than any two - edged sword and pierces even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and their marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart. " Jehovah assured Abraham that he would not destroy Sodom if there had been "by righteous in the midst of the city, " Abraham gradually developed that number until ten. - Genesis 18: 22 - 33. Il tire au contraire profit de sa bonne vue pour les remarquer de loin, et il ne s'éloigne pas des trous et des crevasses où il pourra trouver refuge. Meditate on Jesus ' wonderful counsel recorded there. Rather, he takes advantage of his good view so that he notices them from far away, and he does not drift away from the eye and loses where he can find refuge. Ton médecin te conseille de manger plus sainement, de faire plus d'exercice et d'effectuer d'autres changements dans ton mode de vie. No doubt each of those brothers had an opinion on the subject and an idea of how the matter might be handled. Your doctor counsels you to eat more wholesome food, to make more exercise, and to make further changes in your lifestyle. Peut - être ces oiseaux n'avaient - ils aucune valeur pour les hommes. Mais pour le Créateur? Whether we are brothers or sisters, we need to do our best to care for any theocratic assignment we receive. Perhaps these birds had no value for men, but for the Creator? Il aimait Jéhovah, mais il aimait ses biens encore plus. This is the case even though adopting such traits may seem advantageous. He loved Jehovah, but he loved his belongings even more. La "semence " promise était enfin là! " Valuable things and riches are in his house; and his righteousness is standing forever. The promised "seed " was at last! Il n'a pas non plus vu dans celui - ci un moyen de se faire une réputation d'architecte ou de généreux bienfaiteur. Years later, he moved to Europe, where he resumed his Bible study and came to this conclusion: "The fulfillment of Bible prophecies, the internal harmony of the Holy Scriptures, the absence of contradiction in the Bible, and the love among Jehovah's worshippers convinced me that the Bible is God's Word. " He has not seen a way to make a reputation for himself or a generous reward. Que devons - nous faire pour recevoir l'esprit saint de Dieu? But she called an acquaintance and made a brief presentation. What must we do to receive God's holy spirit? Ils le sanctifient en l'employant d'une manière digne. " Keep Holding the Pattern of Healthful Words " They sanctify it by means of it in a dignified way. Mais systématiquement, après avoir prié, mes forces se renouvellent et j'ai de nouveau le moral. " (See paragraph 14) But always, after praying, my strength were renewed and I again grew up. " 1, 2. Why do people lie, and with what negative results? 1, 2. Que faut - il entendre par là? At a meeting that was convened, some apparently argued in favor of circumcision, while others presented the opposing view. What does that imply? En 1140, ses croyances lui valurent d'être brûlé vif. If we mix with people whose main interest is in improving their life - style or cultivating business opportunities, those things can become of chief importance to us too. - Matthew 6: 24; 1 Corinthians 15: 33. As a result of his 11 - year - old beliefs, he was greatly burned. 1: 7; 4: 12, 13. Rather, we heed James ' admonition: "Let endurance have its work complete, that you may be complete and sound in all respects, not lacking in anything. " - James 1: 2 - 4. 1: 7; 4: 12, 13. Le prix qu'elles attendent est la vie éternelle sur la terre. Sharing Good News Despite Facing Evil The prize awaits them is everlasting life on earth. 5 - 7. Besides the elders, each faithful Christian wants to apply the inspired command to keep "an eye, not in personal interest upon just [his] own matters, but also in personal interest upon those of the others. " 5 - 7. Comment Jésus a - t - il indiqué qu'il ne cherchait pas à exercer de pouvoir politique sur terre? History records a severe famine in Judea. How did Jesus indicate that he was not trying to exercise political power on earth? Aujourd'hui encore, près de 2 000 ans après être sorties de la bouche de Jésus, ces déclarations puissantes sont faciles à retenir. By the mid - 1930 ' s, that task was evidently well along and many of those responding to the preaching work did not have the desire to go to heaven. Today, nearly 2,000 years after coming out of Jesus ' mouth, these powerful statements are easy to hold back. En ce sens qu'elle nous pousse à pratiquer le mal et peut nous retenir de faire ce que nous savons être bien, ou de donner le meilleur de nous - mêmes. Even though Jehovah ultimately supported the agreement, he made sure that this failure to seek his direction was recorded in the Scriptures for our benefit. - Josh. In that sense, it moves us to practice evil and may hold us back from doing what we know is right or to give the best of ourselves. Par ailleurs, si un ancien s'estime à sa juste valeur, il sera chaleureux et abordable. • 1 Timothy 5: 11 - 15 Moreover, if an elder considers himself to be proper, he will be warm and approachable. Au lieu d'axer notre vie sur ce qui est matériel, recherchons l'approbation de Dieu, ce qui est la voie de la vraie sagesse et du bonheur. Did those people think that a human king would somehow be more real, more dependable, than Jehovah? Rather than focusing on material things, we must seek God's approval, which is the way of true wisdom and happiness. Assurément, quand on utilise la Parole de Dieu pour aider les autres à améliorer leur vie, on en retire joie et satisfaction *. Inasmuch as improper use of our hands can result in serious violations of Jehovah's moral standards, we must be firmly determined to remain morally clean. Yes, when we use God's Word to help others improve their life, it brings joy and satisfaction. Et pourquoi n'est - ce pas toujours facile? 10: 12, 13. And why is that not always easy? 5: 1 - 7: 29. The man of the true God that you just sent, let him, please, come again to us and instruct us as to what we ought to do to the child that will be born. " 5: 1 - 7: 29. Dans ces moments, puisez de la consolation dans la Parole de Dieu. Choosing the third option will help you build up, or strengthen, your marriage. At such times, draw comfort from God's Word. Ne pas me contenter de leur dire que j'aimais Jéhovah, mais le leur montrer ." Keep assisting these women who have striven side by side with me in the good news. " Not only do I tell them that I loved Jehovah but they are showing it to them. " Une de ses manœuvres consiste à rendre son monde attrayant, séduisant. However, some people have lost faith in God because of the intense suffering they have personally seen or experienced. One of Satan's crafty acts is to make his world appear appealing. " Quand une vigne produit un bon raisin, cela honore le cultivateur. Pareillement, quand nous faisons le maximum pour prêcher la bonne nouvelle du Royaume, nous honorons, ou glorifions, Jéhovah. Death march: KZ - Gedenkstätte Dachau, courtesy of the USHMM Photo Archives Likewise, when a vine produces a fine fire, we honor the farmer, even when we do all we can to preach the good news of the Kingdom, we honor, or glorify Jehovah. Nous devons veiller à ce que nos paroles restent conformes aux principes bibliques et à ce qu'elles ne s'écartent pas de ce qui est juste, pur et vertueux. " Welcome Home, Son! " We need to make sure that our speech adheres to Bible principles and that they do not separate from what is right, clean, and virtue. Bien que la Bible ne dise pas quels étaient ses mobiles, peut - être Rachel a - t - elle pensé que ces mandragores l'aideraient à concevoir et à mettre ainsi fin à l'opprobre que lui causait sa stérilité. What challenge faced the shepherd boy David? Although the Bible does not say what his motives were, Rachel may have felt that they would help her to appreciate and thus bring reproach on him. Ainsi, il a pu dire: " Je suis pur du sang de tous les hommes " (lire Actes 20: 26, 27). AN ENTRANCE INTO THE KINGDOM (Read Acts 20: 26, 27.) Quand ceux qui sont "dans la disposition qu'il faut pour la vie éternelle " deviennent croyants et se font baptiser, nous avons toutes les raisons de leur dire:" Bienvenue sur la meilleure des voies! ." It merits repeating that James tied wisdom to fine conduct. When those "rightly disposed for everlasting life " become believers and get baptized, we have every reason to say to them:" Follow the best ways of life! " Pourquoi Abraham a - t - il eu besoin de patienter? [ Picture on page 21] Why did Abraham need to wait patiently? Néanmoins, le salut est annoncé pour quiconque exerce la foi en Jéhovah. Moreover, Christendom does not "let justice roll forth just like waters, and righteousness like a constantly flowing torrent. " However, salvation is foretold for those who exercise faith in Jehovah. Une personne astucieuse, ou sage, est consciente que l'imagination peut être comme le feu. Does that not give evidence that God's spirit is at work in us? A shrewd person is aware that the imagination can be like fire. Comment? Who is behind such opposition? How? Mais il peut être des plus difficile pour elle de faire un choix judicieux, surtout si son désir d'intimité et d'amour, dont le mariage lui promet la satisfaction, est très fort. How, though, did Zechariah's message affect the Jews in his day? But it can be difficult to make a wise choice, especially if a desire for intimacy and love, which promises satisfaction, is very strong. Vous en souvenez - vous? As a result, the earth was "full of violence. " Do You Recall? Si nous suivons cette direction, nous manifesterons "la plus grande franchise " qui soit dans le ministère. Although "Moses was by far the meekest of all the men who were upon the surface of the ground, " on one occasion he became provoked and spoke rashly. If we follow that direction, we will display "the greatest freeness " that is in our ministry. (Lire Psaume 90: 4.) A slave is not greater than his master. (Read Psalm 90: 4.) Mais l'immense bonheur qui en résulte n'en vaut - il pas la peine? That results in understanding. But is the great happiness that results from it? L'apôtre Pierre a écrit à propos de Jésus: "Il est à la droite de Dieu, car il est allé au ciel; et anges et autorités et puissances lui ont été soumis. If that occurs, ask Jehovah for help in maintaining self - control. Concerning Jesus, the apostle Peter wrote: "He is at God's right hand, for he went to heaven; and angels and authorities were subject to him. En quoi les chrétiens sont - ils différents du monde? So can we if we adhere to "the ways of Jehovah " and never depart from him. - Read 2 Samuel 22: 21, 22. How do Christians differ from the world? Quels bienfaits retirons - nous individuellement de la vue panoramique que nous offre cette parabole? 60,166 How do we benefit personally from the fleeting view of this parable? Ça m'arrive de ne pas y aller pendant des jours. It teaches us how we can help others become reconciled to God. I'mn't going for days. Au terme de cet examen, ne nous sentons - nous pas poussés à bénir, à louer Jéhovah? " I like my sleep, but some of the best conversations I've had with my teenagers have been after midnight. " - Herbert. In the end of such examination, are we not moved to bless, to praise Jehovah? • Pourquoi devons - nous craindre Dieu, et qu'est - ce que cela signifie? Jehovah's face has shone brightly upon the deaf field • Why should we fear God, and what does that mean? Entre - temps, son dessein se déroulerait infailliblement autour de la ligne généalogique qu'il avait choisie et qui devait mener à l'apparition du Messie promis, Jésus. - Luc 3: 15, 23 - 38; Galates 4: 4. However, Jehovah knows what he is doing. From time to time, his purpose would be infallible around his chosen line and would lead to the appearance of the promised Messiah, Jesus. - Luke 3: 15, 23 - 38; Galatians 4: 4. Les vrais amis de Dieu doivent avoir le cœur sincère et faire preuve d'une "foi sans hypocrisie ," car les actes de véracité viennent du cœur. The rest of the brothers were waiting at Three Taverns, a rest stop about 36 miles [58 km] outside the city. True friends of God need to have a sincere heart and demonstrate "out of hypocrisy, " for the actions of truthfulness of the heart are coming from the heart. Les meilleures décisions sont rarement les plus faciles à mettre en œuvre. Might there also be another reason? The best decisions are usually the most easy to do. Qui, dans la congrégation chrétienne, devrait s'intéresser aux faibles? 16, 17. Who in the Christian congregation should be interested in the weak? Quelles instructions les Israélites reçoivent - ils pour assurer leur survie, et qu'en résulte - t - il? To be God's friends, we must be "humble in mind. " What instructions did the Israelites receive for their survival, and with what result? À l'imitation de Christ et de la grande "nuée de témoins " qui l'ont précédé, les vrais chrétiens sont fiers d'employer le nom divin. In this time of the end, however, with the number of anointed overseers still on earth ever dwindling, the vast majority of Christian elders in the congregations are of the other sheep. Like Christ and the great "cloud of witnesses, " true Christians are proud to use God's name. Quelle sera l'étendue de la domination du Royaume, et pourquoi la paix ne sera - t - elle plus jamais troublée? [ Picture on page 25] What will be the extent of Kingdom rule, and why will peace never be troubled? D'autres seraient oints pour être rois et prêtres. In his service, Paul endured hardships that few today will face. Others would be anointed to be kings and priests. 18: 1 - 4; 20: 20 - 28. If a person has doubts that Jehovah will fulfill His promise to care for His servants, then Satan simply needs to keep up the pressure and such a person might stop attending meetings altogether. 18: 1 - 4; 20: 20 - 28. Témoin la façon dont il a traité les patriarches, à commencer par Abraham. Your children may know more about the online world than you do. For example, consider how Jehovah dealt with the patriarchs, begin by means of Abraham. Les lois de Jéhovah sont destinées à nous protéger. Today, the good news of the Kingdom is being preached in many lands, as Jesus prophesied it would be. Jehovah's laws are designed to protect us. Si l'offrande était un animal vivant, il devait être laissé "devant l'autel " de l'holocauste, dans la cour des prêtres. [ Picture on page 15] If offering was a living animal, he had to be left "from the altar " with the burnt offering in the court of the priests. Dans sa lettre aux Hébreux, Paul a écrit: "La parole de Dieu est vivante et puissante; elle est plus acérée qu'aucune épée à double tranchant et elle pénètre jusqu'à la division de l'âme et de l'esprit, des jointures et de leur moelle, et elle est à même de discerner les pensées et les intentions du cœur. ." As for this also, it will certainly become no one's until he comes who has the legal right, and I must give it to him. " In his letter to the Hebrews, Paul wrote: "The word of God is alive and exerts power; it is sharper than any two - edged sword and pierces even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and their marrow, and is able to discern thoughts and intentions of the heart. " Méditez sur les extraordinaires recommandations de Jésus qui y figurent. Time and again, they met frightening or challenging tests of faith, confident that God would eventually do what he had promised. Meditate on Jesus ' wonderful counsel. Nul doute que chacun de ces frères avait un avis sur la question et sur la manière dont elle devait être réglée. • How should we view Jehovah's moral standards? No doubt all of these brothers had a opinion on the matter and how it should be settled. Que nous soyons un frère ou une sœur, nous devons nous acquitter de notre mieux de toute tâche théocratique qu'on nous confie. He stands before his people, as it were, pointing them toward everlasting life, away from dangers. Whether we are a Christian brother or a sister, we need to fulfill our best theocratic assignment. Cela s'impose, même si ces comportements semblent procurer un avantage. Revelation 21: 4: "[God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. This is vital even if such attitudes seem to be a blessing. " Choses de valeur et richesse sont dans sa maison; et sa justice tient pour toujours. ARTICLE 4 • SONGS: 57, 56 " It is of value and riches in his house; and his righteousness stands forever. " Des années plus tard, il s'est installé en Europe, et il s'est remis à étudier la Bible. " L'accomplissement des prophéties bibliques, l'harmonie interne des Saintes Écritures et l'absence de contradictions dans la Bible, ainsi que l'amour que se manifestent les serviteurs de Jéhovah, tout cela m'a convaincu que ce livre est la Parole de Dieu. Along with their companions, the "other sheep, " they urge people to turn to God's Kingdom while there is yet time. Years later, he was conducting himself in Europe, and he began to study the Bible with Jehovah's people. " Elle a néanmoins appelé une de ses connaissances et lui a fait une brève présentation. Micah asks: "What is Jehovah asking back from you but to exercise justice and to love kindness and to be modest in walking with your God? " But she called a brief presentation and made a brief presentation. " Retenons toujours le modèle des paroles salutaires ' What can Christian wives learn from the examples of Sarah and Rebekah? " Keeping the Pattern of Healthful Words ' (voir paragraphe 14). Having considered the very important role of Christian elders as spiritual undershepherds, we do well to ask, How can these appointed men make sure that they treat Jesus ' sheep in an appropriate manner? (See paragraph 14) Pourquoi ment - on, et quelles en sont les conséquences? How will displaying love help us in our ministry? Why are they, and with what result? Lors d'une réunion organisée pour traiter la question, certains ont apparemment défendu la circoncision tandis que d'autres ont argumenté contre. Yet, Jesus also spoke of "wicked reasonings. " These are views or attitudes that can taint many aspects of life. During a meeting to handle the matter, some apparently defended circumcision while others spoke against them. À fréquenter des gens qui ne pensent qu'à améliorer leur confort ou à faire des affaires, nous risquons à notre tour de donner la priorité à ces choses. - Matthieu 6: 24; 1 Corinthiens 15: 33. Less than two months after the Israelites left Egypt, a serious problem arose - even before they arrived at Mount Sinai. When we associate with people who think that improving their comfort or doing business, we could put first things first. - Matthew 6: 24; 1 Corinthians 15: 33. Au contraire, nous tenons compte de cette exhortation de Jacques: "Que l'endurance fasse œuvre complète, pour que vous soyez complets et sans défaut à tous égards, ne manquant de rien. " - Jacques 1: 2 - 4. When applied, these words can help us to solve or to avoid marital discord. Instead, we heed James 1: 2 - 4. Prêchons malgré les assauts du Diable They gave evidence that Jehovah was dealing with a specific people, a chosen people. Preaching Despite the Devil's attacks Tout comme les anciens, chaque chrétien fidèle veut mettre en pratique l'injonction inspirée d ' " avoir l'œil non pas uniquement sur ses propres affaires, par intérêt personnel, mais aussi, par intérêt personnel, sur celles des autres '. We follow a wise path in regard to diet, exercise, and overall lifestyle. Just as the elders do, each faithful Christian wants to apply the inspired counsel to "look out not only in his own matters but also in personal interest upon those of others. " L'Histoire atteste qu'une famine épouvantable a ravagé la Judée. What challenge do some Bible students face, and how can we assist them? History shows that a debilitating famine devastated Judea. Vers le milieu des années 1930, cette tâche était à l'évidence presque achevée, et parmi les personnes qui réagissaient favorablement à la prédication, beaucoup ne nourrissaient pas l'espérance de vivre au ciel. As Jews under the Mosaic Law, Jesus and his apostles shared in the annual Passover. Near the mid - 1930 ' s, that task was clearly completed, and many who responded favorably to the preaching work did not have the hope of living in heaven. Même si au final Jéhovah a béni l'accord, il a fait en sorte que cet épisode, où ses serviteurs n'ont pas recherché sa direction, soit consigné dans la Bible pour notre profit. - Jos. • How may you draw comfort from the resurrection hope? Although Jehovah blessed this event, he made it clear that his servants did not seek his guidance, either recorded in the Bible for our benefit. - Josh. • 1 Timothée 5: 11 - 15 David did not view his rescue by Jehovah as something that could happen only to him. • 1 Timothy 5: 11 - 15 Les Israélites avaient - ils le sentiment qu'un roi humain serait plus réel, plus fiable, que Jéhovah? Christ embodies "the wisdom of God. " Did the Israelites feel that a human king would be more real, more reliable, than Jehovah? Étant donné qu'un mauvais usage de nos mains pourrait déboucher sur de graves violations des normes morales de Jéhovah, nous devons être fermement résolus à rester moralement purs.

À ce propos, considérons l'exemple de cette chrétienne, que nous appellerons Sophie *. One sister whose home was destroyed had moved into a tiny trailer with a leaky roof and a broken stove. In this regard, consider the example of that Christian woman, whom we will call Sophia. * De plus, nous pouvons penser aux personnes que nous connaissons et qui ont particulièrement besoin du soutien de Jéhovah. To those offering such sacrifices of praise, Jehovah granted his forgiveness, approval, and friendship. Moreover, we can think of those whom we know and who especially need Jehovah's support. Une personne mariée doit avoir des attentes réalistes. What have many world rulers had in common? A married person should have realistic expectations. Plutôt que de prendre pour nom celui d'un apôtre en vue, " les disciples furent par une providence divine appelés chrétiens ," mot qui signifie " disciples de Christ ." Whether rich or poor, all humans are imperfect and have but one eventuality. Rather than taking one of a apostle's name, "the disciples were by divine inspiration called Christians, " meaning" disciples of Christ. " La méchanceté et l'injustice seront remplacées par la droiture et la justice; à ce moment - là, la prière: "Que ton royaume vienne. (Read Isaiah 61: 1, 2.) The prayer: "Let your kingdom come. " Aujourd'hui, la perspective de vivre éternellement est plus évidente que jamais. C'est le moment pour les serviteurs de Dieu de montrer qu'ils lui sont attachés et de renforcer leur détermination à servir leur Roi éternel. - 1 Chroniques 29: 11 - 13. The same is true of Jehovah's organization. Today, the prospect of living forever is more evident than ever; it is the time for God's people to show their devotion and strengthen their determination to serve their everlasting King. - 1 Chronicles 29: 11 - 13. 1, 2. a) Que nous a révélé Jéhovah? Would it not be a fine goal to be like him in this regard? 1, 2. (a) What has Jehovah revealed to us? [ Illustration, page 23] 1: 8. [ Picture on page 23] Plus tard, à Philippes, Paul et Silas ont été jetés en prison. Mais, à la suite d'un tremblement de terre, ils ont pu donner le témoignage au geôlier, ainsi qu'à sa famille, et ils les ont vus devenir croyants. They were blessed for this reason, but Canaan was cursed, and Ham suffered as a result of the shame brought upon his offspring. Later, in Philippi, Paul and Silas were thrown into prison, but after a earthquake, they could bear witness to the jailer and his family, and they saw them become believers. Pareillement, la Loi mosaïque était destinée à amener au Christ les Juifs qui craignaient Dieu. It was presented to God in its entirety, even as Jesus Christ willingly and wholly gave his life as a ransom sacrifice. Similarly, the Mosaic Law was designed to lead the God - fearing Jews. Accordez du temps aux autres Zeus was the ruler of the gods in Greek mythology, and his son Hermes was known for his eloquence. Providing Time for Others Tout naturellement, il exprime cet amour par des louanges. 7 "He Gives Power to the Tired One " Yes, he expresses that love with praise. Qu'étudierons - nous dans cet article? For not the way man sees is the way God sees, because mere man sees what appears to the eyes; but as for Jehovah, he sees what the heart is. " What will we consider in this article? Mais cela ne tient pas. Some questions we do well to ask ourselves are: " What place do material things occupy in my life? But that does not mean that. Il n'a lui - même aucune perspective réjouissante, aucun espoir à l'horizon. Surely, then, we can forgive the occasional offense others commit against us. He has no wonderful prospect, no hope on the horizon. " QUAND je veux faire ce qui est juste, ce qui est mauvais est présent chez moi. [ Picture on page 23] " WHEN I want to do what is right, what is bad is present with me. " Pourquoi les chrétiens s'intéressent - ils à la signification du pain et du vin? The basis of distinction evidently pertained to the use of sacrifices in worship and not to what could and could not be eaten. Why are Christians interested in the meaning of bread and wine? 9, 10. a) Comment imiter Abraham? This turned out to be a blessing for our spiritually imperiled brother. 9, 10. (a) How can we imitate Abraham? 3: 17. He welcomed them into the group accompanying him in his ministry, and he treated them with kindness and respect. 3: 17. Michèle: C'est terrible. Like David, Jonathan, Nathan, and Hushai, may we experience the deep satisfaction of proving ourselves loyal to Jehovah. Michelle: That's a hard time. 5, 6. a) Après la Pentecôte 33, quelles questions importantes se sont posées concernant la nouvelle alliance? What if we become victims of persecution? 5, 6. (a) After Pentecost 33 C.E., what important questions arose regarding the new covenant? 17, 18. a) Quels précédents bibliques illustrent la nécessité de garder nos lieux de culte en bon état? No other leader provided such convincing evidence. Jesus was Jehovah's choice. 17, 18. (a) What Scriptural points illustrate the need to keep our places of worship in good condition? Finalement, elle a cédé à son désir et a fait ce qu'elle savait être mal. Some faithful worshippers have made great sacrifices, enduring poverty, oppression, prejudice, even severe persecution. Finally, she gave her desire and did what she knew to be wrong. Des archéologues ont découvert à Samarie, la capitale du royaume d'Israël, des ivoires finement sculptés, dont beaucoup avaient très probablement été appliqués sur des meubles ou incrustés dans des lambris. - 1 Rois 10: 22. The common, or Koine, Greek language helped to promote good communication and unity among the Christian congregations. In Samaria, the capital of the kingdom of Israel was completed, many of which likely had been applied to fine newss or led up to assuress. - 1 Kings 10: 22. En mangeant du fruit interdit, Adam et Ève se sont mis dans une situation où ils ne pouvaient plus être admis comme membres de la famille universelle de Dieu. Illustrate. (b) Why is it good for those who view pornography to seek help promptly? By eating of the forbidden fruit, Adam and Eve began in a situation where they could no longer be accepted as members of God's universal family. Veuillez ouvrir votre bible et y lire ces versets. (Leviticus 16: 1 - 27: 34) Please open your Bible and read those verses. Gardons - nous de la convoitise How can we imitate Jesus in his unique role as "the Amen "? Guard Against Covetousness • Comment les Étudiants de la Bible en sont - ils venus à comprendre la nécessité de donner un témoignage à toutes les nations? Do I really need to make an issue of it? ' • How did the Bible Students come to understand the need to bear witness to all the nations? " Ainsi, la Traduction du monde nouveau rend ce mot avec justesse par " faveur imméritée ." [ Picture on page 21] Thus, the New World Translation makes this word correctly rendered " undeserved kindness. ' Elle a été particulièrement touchée par cette pensée: " Quand [Jéhovah] pardonne nos péchés, nous n'avons pas à craindre d'en porter la tache pour le restant de nos jours *. That is vital if we are to say that we have accepted God's undeserved kindness and that " sin is not master over us. ' She was especially moved by this thought: "When [Jehovah] forgives our sins, we must not be afraid to bear the blemish for the rest of our day. " L'être humain a été créé avec le besoin d'aimer et d'être aimé. Why should you constantly put into practice the things you are learning from God's Word? Humans were created with the need to love and be loved. Et ce n'est qu'un avant - goût de la vie que nous aurons dans l'avenir!. Am I inclined to have deep emotions that I could misjudge? ' And only a foretaste of life will we enjoy in the future! - Isa. Te sers - tu efficacement de la Bible et des tracts dans le ministère? Moses experienced such a blessing. Are you using the Bible and tracts in your ministry effectively? D'autres Israélites ont agi avec traîtrise. Jesus conveyed a similar message when he said: "If your eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it away from you. " Other Israelites acted with treachery. Soyons déterminés à être présents au Mémorial, le 31 mars 2018. She provided a religious front for their oppressive deeds. Be Determined to Be present at the Memorial, March 31, 2018 Il avait été choisi par Jésus pour être l'un des apôtres; pourtant, il a parfois dit ou fait des choses qu'il a ensuite regrettées. Faith Strengthens the Depressed He had been selected by Jesus to be one of the apostles, yet he sometimes said or did things he later regretted. [ Illustration, page 11] In ancient times, the Promised Land was referred to as God's holy abiding place. [ Picture on page 11] Passons maintenant à la deuxième question: Jésus avait - il vraiment besoin d'être vigilant? What caused Paul to rejoice over the Christians in Corinth? Now consider the second question: Did Jesus really need to be watchful? Souviens - toi que ce n'est pas une bourrasque ou une grosse vague qui a fait couler Pierre. Israel defeats Amorite Kings Sihon and Og and takes possession of their lands. Bear in mind, though, that it is not a cold or a large storm that caused Peter to sink. Deuxièmement, tous, y compris les frères nommés, nous devrions honorer ceux sous l'autorité desquels nous nous trouvons. Nonetheless, the faithful and discreet slave went through the same tests as "that evil slave. " Second, all appointed men, including appointed men, should honor those under the authority of us. Pourquoi Jésus se servait - il d'exemples? Satan's aim is to silence the voice of our faith - to get us to stop preaching the good news. Why did Jesus use illustrations? Souvent, l'effet de la prédication ne se voit qu'au bout de plusieurs années. * Perhaps the best - known statement in that sermon is the one that is often called the Golden Rule. Often, the effect of preaching is seen only after a number of years. Une " porte ouverte ' sur le service We proclaim him as the enthroned heavenly King of the Messianic Kingdom. A " opening door ' on Service L'alliance de la Loi a été validée par du sang animal; la nouvelle alliance, par le sang versé de Jésus. He loved the principles that Jehovah taught by means of that passage. The Law covenant was established by animal blood; the new covenant, through Jesus ' shed blood. Et nous savons qu'il a été ressuscité d'entre les morts. Consider, too, our devoted missionaries " who pour themselves out like a drink offering ' to serve people in foreign lands. And we know that he was resurrected from the dead. " Alors que la fin de ce monde approche, il est urgent d ' " esp [érer] en Jéhovah " et de " gard [er] sa voie ." This gave proof that the new covenant had gone into operation, mediated by Christ and validated by his blood. " As the end of this world nears, it is urgent to "become new in Jehovah " and to" keep his way. " Ces "dons en hommes " ne sont - ils pas des instruments que Jéhovah utilise par l'intermédiaire du Christ pour protéger et prendre soin de ses brebis? The apostle Paul answers: "Let your manner of life be free of the love of money, while you are content with the present things. Are these "gifts in men " not the instruments that Jehovah uses through Christ to protect and care for his sheep? " L'esprit scrute les choses profondes de Dieu ' 5: 4 - 6. " The Spirit Searchs Into the Deep Things of God " La plupart du temps, à quoi se rapporte le mot "congrégation " dans les Écritures hébraïques? Or a Christian might reflect on what was considered rebellious behavior on the part of young people in the 1950 ' s in contrast with what is taking place today. In most cases, what is the word "congregation " used in the Hebrew Scriptures? Il nous offre ainsi l'occasion de montrer que nous avons confiance en lui. Although there are millions of spirit creatures in heaven, the Bible reveals the names of only Michael and Gabriel. This may serve as a safeguard against our giving angels undue honor. He thus gives us an opportunity to show that we trust in him. Aujourd'hui, la maison de Jéhovah n'est plus un édifice situé à Jérusalem, ou même ailleurs. " FOR everything there is an appointed time, even a time for every affair under the heavens. " Today, Jehovah's house is no longer a building in Jerusalem or elsewhere. Nos réunions sont de saints rassemblements These are vital decisions, but you are wise to choose first whether you want to serve Jehovah as fully as possible. Our meetings Are sacred gatherings Certains jours de la semaine peuvent être réservés à la lecture et à la méditation de la portion de la Bible au programme de l'École du ministère théocratique. The sacrifice of his Son was an expression of God's deep love for mankind. Some days of the week can be set aside for Bible reading and meditation on the Theocratic Ministry School. S'ils se joignaient à la révolte, ils violeraient l'exhortation divine consignée en Romains 13: 1. The Drama Unfolds If they joined in revolt, they would violate the inspired counsel recorded at Romans 13: 1. Le matin du vendredi 2 octobre 1914, à Brooklyn, Charles Russell, qui était alors à la tête des Étudiants de la Bible, est entré dans la salle à manger du Béthel en lançant un chaleureux "Bonjour à tous! Did his decision to get baptized at age 12 prove to be well - founded? In the morning of October 2, 1914, Charles Taze Russell, who was then to the head of the Bible Students, entered the hall by eating a warm "day! " Jéhovah était en procès avec Israël parce qu'il n'y avait ni vérité, ni bonté de cœur, ni connaissance de Dieu dans le pays. " They continued devoting themselves to the teaching of the apostles, to associating together. " Jehovah was in a legal case with Israel because there was neither truth nor loving - kindness nor knowledge of God in the land. Elle m'a alors fait lire 1 Corinthiens 13: 4 - 7. And read each issue of The Watchtower and Awake! She then read 1 Corinthians 13: 4 - 7. [ Encadré, page 25] What, then, would they do? [ Box on page 25] Il prophétise plus de 40 ans avant la destruction de Jérusalem en 607 avant notre ère, et c'est un message à la fois de désolation et d'espoir qu'il annonce pour Juda. And the danger is still with us, perhaps even more so. He prophesy over 40 years before Jerusalem's destruction in 607 B.C.E., and he is a message of desolation and hope for Judah. Les frères lui ont fait une maison toute simple, mais bien équipée. These experienced brothers can assist married couples to apply the counsel of God's Word. The brothers gave him a simple house but well - being. Jéhovah leur accordait son pardon, son approbation et son amitié. In what two basic ways did Jesus reveal the Father to his disciples and others? Jehovah provided forgiveness, approval, and friendship. Quel était le point commun de beaucoup de dirigeants du monde? (Read 1 Timothy 6: 17 - 19.) What was the common viewpoint of many of the world's rulers? Qu'ils soient riches ou pauvres, tous les humains sont imparfaits et connaissent une même fin. Why does Christendom deserve God's adverse judgment? Whether rich or poor, all humans are imperfect and have an end. (Lire Isaïe 61: 1, 2.) Very likely, such a man will find himself in need. (Read Isaiah 61: 1, 2.) L'organisation de Jéhovah agit de même. " Everyone that hears these sayings of mine and does them, " said Jesus, "will be likened to a discreet man, who built his house upon the rock - mass. " Jehovah's organization is doing the same. Ne trouvez - vous pas qu'agir comme lui, à cet égard, est un bon objectif à se fixer? Peter was asked if he loved Jesus more than "these, " that is, the fish that were before them. Do you not agree that doing so in this regard is a good goal to set goals? 1: 8. He carries out this task according to his own ability and opportunities. - Matthew 25: 14, 15. 1: 8. Canaan, lui, a été maudit, et Cham a dû supporter les conséquences de la honte que s'était attirée sa progéniture. But Rudolf's trials had still not ended. Canaan, however, was cursed, and Ananias had to deal with the consequences of the shame that drew her young. Il était présenté à Dieu dans son intégralité, de même que Jésus a volontairement offert sa vie en sacrifice rédempteur. Why should the privilege of prayer convince us of Jehovah's personal love for us? He was presented to God in his own eyes, just as Jesus willingly offered his life as a ransom sacrifice. Dans la mythologie grecque, Zeus était le maître des dieux, et son fils Hermès était connu pour son éloquence. This involves your obeying your parents in all things that are in harmony with God's laws. - Acts 5: 29. In the Greek Greek language, Paul was the master of gods, and his son was known for his State. 7 " Il donne de la force à celui qui est épuisé " That had profound meaning in the first century, and it still does. 7 "He Gives Power to the tired One " Car Dieu voit non pas comme voit l'homme; c'est que l'homme voit ce qui paraît aux yeux, mais Jéhovah, lui, voit ce que vaut le cœur. ." Then personal study is a must. For God sees not as the man sees; it is that man sees what appears to the eyes, but Jehovah himself sees what the heart is. " Voici quelques questions qu'il conviendrait de se poser: " Quelle importance les choses matérielles tiennent - elles dans mon existence? We can also prove our brotherly love by remaining morally chaste. Here are some questions that it would be appropriate to ask ourselves: " How important is material things in my life? Dès lors, comment pourrions - nous ne pas pardonner aux autres les offenses qu'ils commettent occasionnellement à notre égard? Just as prospective citizens of a country abide by the laws of their new land, Christ's subjects submit themselves to "the law of the Christ " by harmonizing their lives with all that Jesus taught and commanded. How, then, could we not forgive others whose sins they do not have to do for us? [ Illustration, page 23] Recall Paul's "thorn in the flesh. " [ Picture on page 23] La distinction se faisait apparemment sur des critères sacrificiels, et non alimentaires. 16, 17. The distinction was apparently on certain standards, not food shortages. Cela s'est révélé un bienfait pour ce chrétien, qui était en danger spirituel. Additionally, they often care for regular cleaning and maintenance of the Kingdom Hall, and they welcome visitors who attend our meetings. This proved to be a blessing to a Christian, who was in spiritual danger. Il en a accueilli dans le groupe qui l'a accompagné dans le ministère, et il faisait preuve de douceur et de respect envers elles. Some members of the congregation there may have had a form of Roman citizenship, which would have afforded them certain privileges above those of their brothers. He welcomed him into the field ministry and showed mildness and respect for them. Comme David, Yonathân, Nathân et Houshaï, restons fidèles à Jéhovah. Nous en éprouverons une profonde satisfaction. Today as well, "what is expected of stewards is that they be found faithful. " Like David, Jonathan, Nathan, and Hushai, let us remain loyal to Jehovah, and we will have deep satisfaction. Qu'en est - il maintenant si nous sommes victimes de persécutions? How blessed we are that Jehovah desires to have such a personal relationship with imperfect humans! What about us now if we have been victims of persecution? Aucun autre conducteur n'a donné de preuves aussi convaincantes: c'est Jéhovah qui l'avait choisi. This "everlasting covenant " provides for all spiritual Israelites to be resurrected to immortal life in heaven. - Hebrews 13: 20. No other driver has given such convincing evidence of Jehovah's choice. Parce qu'ils avaient la foi, certains chrétiens ont consenti des sacrifices considérables, ont supporté la pauvreté, les préjugés, l'oppression, voire la persécution. How were both Daniel and King Josiah helped by the portions of the Scriptures that were available to them? Because of having faith, some Christians have made great sacrifices, put up poverty, prejudice, oppression, or persecution. La koinè, ou grec commun, a contribué à une bonne communication et à l'unité au sein des congrégations chrétiennes. 14: 8. The Greek, or Greek, has contributed to good communication and unity among Christian congregations. Cite un fait. b) Pourquoi est - il important que ceux qui regardent de la pornographie cherchent de l'aide sans tarder? How did Jesus reveal his Father through his own conduct? Illustrate. (b) Why is it important for those who watch pornography to seek help quickly? (Lévitique 16: 1 - 27: 34) That might be said about keeping our integrity when under pressure at school or on our job, upholding God's standard on blood, maintaining Christian neutrality, and applying Bible principles regarding dress and grooming. ( 16: 1 - 27: 34.) Comment pouvons - nous imiter Jésus dans son rôle unique d ' "Amen "? The ones that are whole, intact. How can we imitate Jesus in his unique role as "the Amen "? Faut - il vraiment que j'en fasse toute une affaire? Yes, they help cultivate spiritual fruitage to God's glory, nurturing and harvesting people. Does this really mean that I have to do all things? ' [ Illustration, page 21] Who is Christ using today to direct his congregation, and how should we view this group of anointed Christians? [ Picture on page 21] C'est indispensable pour pouvoir affirmer que nous avons accepté la faveur imméritée de Dieu et que le péché ne domine pas sur nous. The happiness, the satisfaction, comes from knowing that we are suffering because we are doing Jehovah's will and following the pattern of Jesus. It is vital to conclude that we have accepted God's undeserved kindness and that sin does not control us. Pourquoi devriez - vous mettre constamment en pratique ce que vous apprenez dans la Parole de Dieu? Why should Christians not court someone who does not serve Jehovah? Why should you constantly apply what you learn from God's Word? Est - ce que je ressens facilement des émotions intenses qui risquent de me tromper? ' 7, 8. (a) When Jehovah saves his people from their trials, what does he take into consideration? How easily do I feel about intense emotions that could deceive me? ' Moïse était un ami de Jéhovah. Not to be overlooked in strengthening the marriage bond is the value of knowledge, wisdom, and discernment. Moses was a friend of Jehovah. Jésus a exprimé une idée semblable: " Si ton œil te fait trébucher, arrache - le et jette - le loin de toi ." Examining portions of Paul's letter to the Ephesians will help us to understand the purpose of this administration and to work in harmony with it. Jesus made a similar point: "If your eye is making you stumble, tear it out and throw it away from you. " Elle servait de paravent religieux pour légitimer leurs actes d'oppression. Just imagine their excitement when Brother Rutherford delivered the talk entitled "The Kingdom " and declared:" Behold, the King reigns! It used religious agents to right their actions of oppression. La foi fortifie les déprimés IS THERE something that you value so highly that you would give everything you own or sacrifice all that you have in order to gain possession of it? Faith Strengthens the Test Dans les temps anciens, on parlait de la Terre promise comme de la sainte demeure de Dieu. * They will thus avoid the outrageous displays that mark many worldly weddings. - 1 John 2: 15, 16. In ancient times, the Promised Land was spoken of as God's holy dwelling. Pourquoi Paul s'est - il réjoui à propos des chrétiens de Corinthe? Think, too, about the days of Lot. Why did Paul rejoice over the Christians in Corinth? Israël l'emporte sur Sihôn et Og, les rois des Amorites, et prend possession de leur pays. How might Jehovah deliver us from persecution today? Israel was superior to Kings and Spanish, the kings of Israel, and take possession of their land. Il n'empêche que l'esclave fidèle et avisé est passé par les mêmes épreuves que "ce mauvais esclave ." Jesus taught that "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. " Yet, the faithful and discreet slave has passed through the same trials that "that evil slave. " Satan cherche à réduire au silence notre foi, à nous faire cesser de prêcher la bonne nouvelle. With her husband's permission, she traveled about 19 miles (30 km) to Elisha at Mount Carmel. Satan tries to silence our faith, prevent us from preaching the good news. L'extrait le plus connu de ce sermon est sans doute ce qu'on appelle communément la Règle d'or. Reflect on one of the closest relationships humans can have - that of identical twins. The most known part of that sermon is likely what is described in the Golden Rule. Nous proclamons qu'il a été intronisé Roi céleste du Royaume messianique. In modern times, Jehovah has lovingly provided mankind with a group of anointed Christians who act as figurative watchmen to warn about his judgment of this world. We proclaim that he was enthroned as King of the Messianic Kingdom. Il aimait les principes que Jéhovah y inculquait. If so, our words and deeds will show that we are walking and living by spirit. - Read Galatians 5: 16, 25. He loved the principles that Jehovah had learned. Ou encore à nos missionnaires dévoués qui se " répand [ent] comme une libation " pour servir leur prochain à l'étranger. The role that Jesus plays in Jehovah's purpose is also compared to a foundation. At the same time, our hardworking missionaries who " pour themselves out like a drink ' to serve others in foreign lands. Les disciples en question sont ainsi devenus membres de la nouvelle nation de Jéhovah, son nouveau peuple. In one country in the Far East, most people are concerned with health, child training, and education. The disciples thus became part of Jehovah's new nation, his new people. L'apôtre Paul répond: "Que votre manière de vivre soit exempte d'amour de l'argent, tandis que vous vous contentez des choses présentes. To visualize what that will mean, consider what happened when Jesus went to the home of a certain man named Jairus, whose 12 - year - old daughter had died. The apostle Paul answers: "Let your manner of life be free of the love of money, while you are content with the present things. 5: 4 - 6. We find the greatest happiness when we give without expecting anything in return. 5: 4 - 6. Compare à présent ce qu'on considérait comme de la rébellion de la part d'un jeune dans les années 1950 et ce que l'on constate aujourd'hui. Yes, the "other sheep " heard the members of the anointed bride class say" Come! " Compare what was considered like the rebellion of a young person in the 1950 ' s and what we see today. Tandis qu'ils se comptent par millions, la Bible ne cite que le nom de Mikaël et de Gabriel, sans doute pour éviter que nous rendions aux créatures célestes un honneur excessif. While drinking "a little wine " may be agreeable, the abuse of alcohol is a serious problem. As millions of people come into account, the Bible only mention Michael and Gabriel's name to prevent us from succumbing to the heavenly creatures. " POUR tout il y a un temps fixé, oui un temps pour toute affaire sous les cieux. ." What is the "treasure store " that Jesus referred to at Matthew 13: 52, and how do we fill it? " FOR all there is an appointed time, even a time for everyone under the heavens. " Ce sont des décisions essentielles, mais celle de servir Jéhovah le plus pleinement possible devrait être prise avant toutes les autres. Though the Bible is not a medical textbook, its Author, Jehovah God, is our Creator. These are vital decisions, but serving Jehovah as fully as possible should be taken before all others. Le sacrifice de son Fils était une expression du profond amour que Dieu porte aux humains. For a different, analytical approach, you can refer to Insight, Volume 2, under the heading "Jesus Christ. " The sacrifice of his Son was an expression of God's deep love for mankind. L'intrigue se déroule A husband named Miguel puts it this way: "If you are a husband, be willing to listen. The Dangers of Its Sa décision de se faire baptiser alors qu'il avait 12 ans s'est - elle avérée judicieuse? Like Daniel, we should give full credit to Jehovah for whatever knowledge, qualities, and abilities we may have acquired as a result of taking advantage of his spiritual provisions. Was his decision to get baptized when he was 12 years old? " Ils étaient assidus à l'enseignement des apôtres, et à avoir part les uns avec les autres ." We too can prove ourselves faithful. " They devoted themselves to the teaching of the apostles and to sharing with one another. " - ACTS 15: 42. Par ailleurs, lis tous les numéros de La Tour de Garde et de Réveillez - vous! Jehovah's Witnesses have a healthy fear of displeasing God, and this provides them with added motivation to do his will. And read all the issues of The Watchtower and Awake! En tiendraient - ils compte? But the Hebrews knew that this would be against God's law. Would they expect that? Mais il nous concerne aussi aujourd'hui, peut - être même encore plus. Do you take to heart the meaning of that? But it is similar with us today, perhaps even more. Ces frères expérimentés peuvent l'aider à appliquer les conseils de la Parole de Dieu. He corresponded exactly to all that Adam should have been - a perfect man, absolutely loyal and obedient to God. Such experienced brothers can help them to apply the counsel found in God's Word. De quelles manières Jésus a - t - il " révélé le Père ' à ses premiers disciples et à ceux qui viendraient après eux? Prayer plays an important part in our maintaining a close relationship with Jehovah. In what ways did Jesus reveal the Father to his early disciples and to those who would come after them? (Lire 1 Timothée 6: 17 - 19.) What will help us to endure? (Read 1 Timothy 6: 17 - 19.) Pourquoi la chrétienté mérite - t - elle la condamnation divine? This symbolic body has many members of both genders, all of whom contribute to the body's functioning effectively. Why does Christendom deserve adverse judgment? Il finira sûrement par être dans le besoin. 11, 12. (a) Why do many feel discouraged today? No doubt, he will be in need. " Tout homme donc qui entend mes paroles [...] et les met en pratique, a dit Jésus, sera comparé à un homme avisé qui a bâti sa maison sur le roc. ." What did the rebellion in Eden do to mankind? " Everyone hearing my words... and put them apply them, " said Jesus, "will be compared to a faithful man who built his house on the rock. " Jésus a demandé à Pierre s'il l'aimait plus que "ceux - ci ," c'est - à - dire plus que les poissons qu'ils avaient devant eux. How do we decide what to do in matters that some say are a gray area? Jesus asked Peter if he loved him more than "those who are, " that is, the fish they had before them. Il s'en acquitte selon ses capacités et ses possibilités. - Matthieu 25: 14, 15. (b) How will Christ yet use his sword? He pay attention to his abilities and abilities. - Matthew 25: 14, 15. Mais d'autres épreuves l'attendaient. Hence, they fell asleep while he stayed awake praying. Still, there were other trials that lay ahead of him. Pourquoi le privilège de la prière devrait - il nous convaincre que Jéhovah nous aime personnellement? Having grown up knowing about the hope of a resurrection, I soon found myself telling him about Jesus - that he raised the dead and that he promises to do so again in the future. Why should prayer assure us that Jehovah loves us personally? " Cela suppose que vous obéissiez à vos parents en toutes choses, dans la mesure où ce qu'ils vous demandent est en harmonie avec les lois de Dieu. - Actes 5: 29. Ephesus Doing so requires that you obey your parents in all things, to the extent that they ask you is in harmony with God's laws. - Acts 5: 29. Voilà qui avait une signification profonde au Isiècle et qui conserve toute sa signification aujourd'hui. Why are we not in the dark regarding Satan's deceptive tactics, and what should be our determination? Those words had deep meaning in the first century and that maintained all its meaning today. Dans ce cas, l'étude individuelle est indispensable. " Do your utmost to present yourself approved to God, " wrote Paul, "a workman with nothing to be ashamed of, handling the word of the truth aright. " - 2 Tim. If so, personal study is essential.

Puis il les a exhortés en ces termes: "Par toutes sortes de prières et de supplications [...] priez en toutes circonstances. But at the same time, we need to realize that Jehovah is not limited by our requests, plans, and expectations. Then he urged them: "In every form of prayer and supplication... on every occasion. " Expliquant comment nous pouvons nous montrer prêts pour ce jour, Pierre s'exclame: "Puisque toutes ces choses doivent être ainsi dissoutes, quel genre d'hommes il vous faut être en actes de sainte conduite et en actions marquées par l'attachement à Dieu, attendant et gardant constamment à l'esprit la présence du jour de Jéhovah [...]! " - 2 Pierre 3: 10 - 12. It is no wonder that Moses was moved to love the God who felt compassion for the Hebrews and for all mankind. Explaining how we can prove ourselves ready for that day, Peter says: "Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in holy acts of conduct and deeds of godly devotion, and keeping close in mind the presence of the day of Jehovah... - 2 Peter 3: 10 - 12. " Mais nous vivons des temps critiques: les gens sont égoïstes, l'affection naturelle se fait rare et les encouragements aussi.

But we live in these critical times: People are selfish, natural affection often and encouragement. En nous absorbant dans les activités chrétiennes, nous prenons davantage conscience de notre identité chrétienne. Likewise, the Bible counsels us: "An answer, when mild, turns away rage, but a word causing pain makes anger to come up. " By taking in Christian activities, we become more aware of our Christian identity. Un regard non maîtrisé peut éveiller ou intensifier des désirs sexuels déplacés. Whatever a person did earlier in life, he changes when the glorious good news about the Christ has an effect on his heart. An attitude toward self - control can arouse or increase illicit sexual desires. En agissant ainsi, ils s'érigeaient en juges. (b) Why is balance so important in marriage? By doing so, they fell into judges. Il ne s'attend pas non plus à recevoir un traitement de faveur. Ce n'est pas parce qu'il consomme les emblèmes qu'il s'estime supérieur aux anciens de la congrégation. Moreover, we do well to examine our history, learn from it, and plan for the future. He does not expect to receive special treatment, but he would not partake of the emblems he considers to be superior to the elders in the congregation. Il ressort avec force de cette parabole qu'être miséricordieux, en l'occurrence avoir pitié de quelqu'un, c'est aussi être disposé à pardonner. (b) What invitation can we extend to others? It is evident in this parable that if a person is merciful, he is also willing to forgive others. En étant précis dans nos prières en faveur de nos frères, nous entretenons l'intérêt que nous leur portons. Just seeing their zeal and joy really moved me to want to serve this way. " By being specific in our prayers for our brothers, we have the interest we bear. Ne serait - il pas plus logique de continuer à servir Jéhovah, assuré que "le Juge de toute la terre " est au courant de ce qui s'est passé et qu'il réglera le problème comme il se doit? In Bible times, conventioners had to make sacrifices to attend. Would it not be reasonable to continue serving Jehovah, confident that "the Judge of all the earth " is aware of what has happened and that he will correct the problem as he has to do? Plus tard Moïse écrirait, non de son propre chef, mais sous l'influence de l'esprit saint de Dieu: "L'homme Moïse était de beaucoup le plus humble de tous les hommes qui étaient sur la surface du sol. ." Like young Timothy, you will be "persuaded to believe " what you learn from the Scriptures, and you will be moved to worship Jehovah with a willing heart. - 2 Tim.

ARTICLE 3 " Se presser "; en quel sens faut - il comprendre ce terme? 5 - 7. (a) Who was "that woman Jezebel, " and what was to be done about her influence? In what sense is this term an expression? Jéhovah est à nos côtés quand nous subissons n'importe quelle forme d'opposition et de persécution. The visions recorded in Ezekiel chapter 1 and Daniel chapter 7 vividly portray Jehovah maneuvering matters to a grand climax. Jehovah is with us when we experience any form of opposition and persecution. " C'est pourquoi cette exhortation est adressée aux femmes: "Comme la congrégation est soumise au Christ, de même que les femmes aussi le soient en tout à leurs maris. " - Éphésiens 5: 23, 24, 33. How did Jesus act in harmony with his illustration of the fig tree? Therefore, this exhortation is to wives: "As the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, so let wives also be to their husbands. " - Ephesians 5: 23, 24, 24, 33. C'est tellement mieux que lui donner l'impression qu'on estime son cas désespéré, point de vue qu'il pourrait bien adopter à son tour. * When Jerusalem finally fell, about one seventh of all Jews in the Roman Empire perished.
