right and Wrong: HOW THE BIBLE REVEALS GOD'S GUIDANCE

 The Bible is an accurate record of Jehovah's dealings with humankind. What it contains helps us to discern what God views as right and wrong, beneficial and harmful. (Psalm 19:7, 11) We learn timeless principles that help us to make moral choices in our daily lives.

For example, consider the advice found at Proverbs 13:20: "The one walking with the wise, will become wise, but the one who has dealings with the stupid fair badly." That principle is just as applicable in our modern world as it was in ancient times. The Bible is full of such practical and valuable principles. - See the box "The Bible's Timeless Wisdom."

But you may wonder, 'How can I be sure that the Bible's moral guidance works today?' The next article will consider some real-life examples.
