Satan i laik bai yu ting ol lo bilong God i hatwok tumas long bihainim na yu bai stap amamas moa sapos yu yet i makim wanem samting i stret na wanem samting i no stret.

Ol stiatok bilong Jehova i olsem dispela banis, na Devil i olsem dispela laion. Baibel i tok lukaut long yumi olsem: “Yupela i mas holimpas gutpela tingting na was i stap! Devil, dispela birua bilong yupela, em i raun olsem wanpela laion i singaut strong na i painim ol man bilong kaikai.”—1 Pita 5:8.
5 Jehova i laik bai yumi gat gutpela laip tru. Em i no laik bai Satan i giamanim yumi. Olsem na em i givim yumi ol lo na stiatok bilong banisim yumi na mekim yumi stap amamas. (Efesus 6:11) Jems i tok: “Man husat i save lukluk gut long dispela lo i gutpela olgeta na i mekim man i kamap fri, na em i save mekim long olgeta taim, . . . em bai amamas long samting em i mekim.”—Jems 1:25.
6. Wanem ol samting bai mekim na yumi bilip tru olsem rot Jehova i makim em bes rot long bihainim?
6 Taim yumi bihainim ol daireksen bilong Jehova, laip bilong yumi bai kamap gutpela moa na pasin pren bilong yumi wantaim em bai kamap strong moa. Olsem, taim yumi ekseptim invatesen bilong em long beten oltaim long em, dispela i save helpim yumi.

(Matyu 28:19, 20; Galesia 6:2; Hibru 10:24, 25) Taim yumi tingim hau ol dispela samting i helpim yumi long strongim bilip bilong yumi, bai yumi bilip tru olsem rot Jehova i makim em bes rot long bihainim.

Sapos yu pilim olsem, orait tingim tok bilong Jehova: “Mi Jehova, mi God bilong yupela, mi tasol mi save skulim yupela long ol samting we inap helpim yupela, mi tasol mi save stiaim yupela long rot yupela i mas wokabaut long en. Sapos yupela i putim gut yau long ol lo bilong mi, orait bel isi bilong yupela bai kamap olsem wara i save ron na stretpela pasin bilong yupela bai kamap olsem ol weiv bilong solwara.”—Aisaia 48:17, 18.

Maski wanem samting i kamap long laip bilong yumi, yumi inap stap gut long God. Baibel i tok promis olsem: “Olgeta hevi yu karim, yu mas putim long han bilong Jehova, na em bai strongim yu. Em i no inap larim stretpela man i pundaun.”—Buk Song 55:22.

10 Yumi no kamap strongpela Kristen bikos yumi winim bikpela krismas, nogat. Bilong kamap strong, yumi mas mekim Jehova i kamap bes Pren bilong yumi na kisim wankain tingting olsem bilong em long ol samting. (Jon 4:23) Pol i tok: “Ol man i bihainim ol laik bilong bodi, ol i tingting long ol samting bilong bodi. Tasol ol man i bihainim laik bilong holi spirit, ol i tingting long ol samting bilong holi spirit.” (Rom 8:5) Strongpela Kristen i no save putim amamas o mani kago i stap namba wan long laip bilong em. Em i save putim tingting long mekim wok bilong Jehova na mekim ol gutpela disisen long laip bilong em. (Provep 27:11; ritim Jems 1:2, 3.) Em i no save larim ol narapela samting i pulim em long mekim rong. Strongpela Kristen i save long wanem samting i stret na em i tingting strong long mekim dispela samting.
11, 12. (a) Pol i tok wanem long save bilong Kristen long “skelim ol samting”? (b) Olsem wanem pasin bilong kamap strongpela Kristen i wankain long pasin bilong kamap spots man?
11 Man i mas taitim bun bilong kamap strongpela Kristen. Aposel Pol i tok: “Strongpela kaikai em bilong ol man i bikpela pinis. Em ol man i bin yusim save bilong ol planti taim long skelim ol samting na long dispela rot ol i lainim gut tingting bilong ol long kliagut long wanem samting i stret na wanem samting i no stret.” (Hibru 5:14) Dispela tok “lainim” inap mekim yumi tingim samting ol spots man i save mekim.
12 Taim yumi lukim wanpela hapman bilong spots i pilai, yumi save olsem sampela haptaim i mas lus na em i mas lain gut bambai em inap save gut long pilai spots. Em i no bon olsem wanpela spots man. Taim wanpela bebi i bon, em i no save long yusim tupela lek na han bilong em. Tasol bihain, em i lain long holim ol samting na lain long wokabaut.

Olsem wanem mi ken bihainim dispela lo o stiatok? Jehova i laik bai mi mekim wanem?’—Ritim Provep 3:5, 6; Jems 1:5.
14. Yumi mas mekim wanem sapos yumi laik strongim bilip bilong yumi?

Pasin bilong kisim helti kaikai i save helpim yumi long strongim bodi, na olsem tasol pasin bilong kisim save long Jehova bai helpim yumi long strongim bilip. Taim yumi kirap long stadi long Baibel, yumi kisim save long ol as tok i tru bilong Jehova na ol pasin bilong em. Tasol bihain, yumi mas kliagut long ol bikpela samting. Pol i tingim dispela taim em i tok: “Strongpela kaikai em bilong ol man i bikpela pinis.” Taim yumi bihainim ol tok yumi lainim, yumi kisim savetingting. Baibel i tokim yumi olsem: “Savetingting em i bikpela samting tru.”—Provep 4:5-7; 1 Pita 2:2.
15. Em i bikpela samting olsem wanem long yumi mas laikim Jehova na ol bratasista bilong yumi?
15 Ating wanpela man i gat strong na em i helti, tasol bilong stap olsem, em i save olsem em i mas wok yet long lukautim gut em yet. Long wankain pasin, strongpela Kristen i save olsem em i mas wok hat yet bilong strongim pasin pren bilong em wantaim Jehova.

Pasin bilong yumi long laikim Jehova na ol bratasista bilong yumi i mas go bikpela. Pol i tok: “Sapos mi kisim . . . save, na sapos mi gat strongpela bilip inap long mi ken surikim maunten i go long narapela hap, tasol mi no gat pasin laikim, orait mi olsem samting nating.”—1 Korin 13:1-3.

Em i no laik bai yumi trastim ol wanbilip Kristen, na em i no laik bai yumi stap amamas. (Efesus 2:2) Satan i save ol tingting kranki inap bagarapim yumi na pasin bilong yumi long pas gut wantaim God. Tasol Jehova i givim samting we inap helpim yumi long daunim ol tingting kranki. Em i givim gutpela samting yumi ken bilip na wet long en.

Wanpela pren bilong em i putim em long han bilong ol birua. Narapela pren i tok em i no save long em. Ol arapela i lusim em na ranawe. Na ol wanples i birua long em na strong long em i mas dai long diwai pos. Wanem samting i helpim em long karim ol dispela bikpela hevi? “Em i tingim amamas em bai kisim na dispela i helpim em long sanap strong na karim hevi long diwai pos, na em i no wari long sem em bai kisim. Na nau em i sindaun pinis long rait han bilong sia king bilong God.”—Hibru 12:2.

Sapos yu pilim olsem ol samting yu bilip na wet long en i no stap strong moa, orait askim Jehova long helpim yu. Tingim tok bilong Filipai 4:6, 7: “Yupela i no ken tingting planti long wanpela samting, nogat. Long olgeta samting, kamapim ol askim bilong yupela long God, mekim long rot bilong ol beten, na long ol prea we yupela i beten strong, na long ol beten bilong tok tenkyu long God; na dispela bel isi bilong God i winim tru tingting bilong man, em bai lukautim bel bilong yupela na tingting bilong yupela long rot bilong Krais Jisas.”
