“I LOVE THE FATHER” 137
our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. (Luke 10:27)

our feelings but also in the reality of our actions. Jesus
was not content merely to feel love for his Father nor
merely to say, “I love the Father.” He said: “In order for
the world to know that I love the Father, even as the Father
has given me commandment to do, so I am doing.”
(John 14:31) Satan had charged that no human would
serve Jehovah out of unselfish love. (Job 2:4, 5) In order
to give the best possible answer to Satan’s vicious slander,
Jesus courageously went ahead and showed the world
just how much he loved his Father. He obeyed even to
the point of giving up his life. Will you follow Jesus?
Will you show the world that you truly love Jehovah
God?
19 We have a profound spiritual need to show such love.
Jehovah has thus arranged for us to worship in a way that
our love for our Father is nourished and strengthened.
When you attend Christian meetings, try to remember
that you are there to worship your God. Facets of that
worship include joining in heartfelt prayer, singing songs
of praise, listening attentively, and participating when
possible. Such meetings also give you an opportunity to
encourage fellow Christians. (Hebrews 10:24, 25) Worshipping
Jehovah regularly at Christian meetings will
help you to grow ever stronger in your love for God.
20 Much the same can be said for doing personal study,
meditating, and praying. Think of these as ways to be
alone with Jehovah. As you study God’s written Word
and meditate on it, Jehovah is conveying his thoughts to
19, 20. (a) For what important reasons do we want to be regular in
attendance at Christian meetings? (b) How might we view our personal
study, meditation, and prayer?
