Lessons From "the Disciple Jesus Loved" - "REMAIN IN MY LOVE"

 

John had a long eventful life. He faced all types of challenges that could have weakened his faith.  But he always did his best to observe Jesus' commandments, including the order to love his brothers and sisters.  As a result, John was sure that Jehovah and Jesus loved him and that they would give him the strength to overcome any trial.  (John 14:15-17; 15:10; 1 John 4:16) Nothing that Satan or his system did could stipe John from feeling, expressing, and showing love.

Like John, we live in a world dominated by Satan, the hateful god of their system. (John 3:1, 10) While want us to stop loving our brothers and sisters, he canot make that happen unless we allow him to do so.  May we be determined to  love our brothers and sisters, to express that love by what we do.  Then we will have the satisfaction of being part of Jehovah's family, and life will be truly worth living. -Read 1 JOHN 4:7.
