Help Bible Students Take a Stand for the Truth

"Stand firm in the faith . . . Grow strong." - 1 CORINTHIANS 16:13. 

DID you have reservations about becoming one of Jehovah's Witnesses? Perhaps you were afraid that your workmates, friends, or family would turn against you. Or maybe you felt that you would never ablet to live up to God's standards. If so, you can empathize with Bible students who seem reluctant to take a stand for the truth.

Jesus recognized that such fears could easily prevent spiritual growth. (Matthew 13:20-22) But he did not give up on those who hesitated to follow him. Rather, he showed his disciples how to help such ones to (1) identify obstacles in their progress, (2) deepen their love for Jehovah, (3) adjust their priorities, and (4) overcome their challenges. How we apply what Jesus told his disciples as we use the Enjoy Life Forever! book to help a Bible student take a stand for the truth?
