“Abrahán puso fe en Jehová, y le fue contado por justicia”, y vino a ser llamado “amigo de Jehová” (Sant. 2:23).
¿Qué nos ayudará a elegir bien nuestras amistades? Algo que será de utilidad es ver algunos ejemplos bíblicos. Pensemos en la amistad que había entre Rut y su suegra Noemí, entre David y Jonatán, o entre Timoteo y Pablo (Rut 1:16, 17; 1 Sam. 23:16-18; Fili. 2:19-22). La principal razón por la que estas amistades eran tan sólidas era porque todos ellos amaban profundamente a Jehová. ¿Puede decirse lo mismo en nuestro caso? ¿Buscamos amigos que amen a Jehová tanto como nosotros? Podemos estar seguros de que en la congregación es posible encontrar muchos amigos de esa clase. Tales amigos no nos perjudicarán espiritualmente; todo lo contrario: nos ayudarán a obedecer a Jehová, a crecer como cristianos y a sembrar con miras al espíritu (Gál. 6:7, 8). En efecto, de esta manera nos mantendremos en el amor de Dios (Jud. 21).

“Abraham put faith in Jehovah, and it was counted to him as righteousness,” and he came to be called “Jehovah’s friend.”—Jas. 2:23.
What can help you to make good choices as to your friends? Studying Bible examples can prove motivating. Consider the friendship between Ruth and her mother-in-law Naomi, the one between David and Jonathan, or the one between Timothy and Paul. (Ruth 1:16, 17; 1 Sam. 23:16-18; Phil. 2:19-22) These friendships thrived for one reason above all others: They were based on genuine love for Jehovah. Can you find friends who love Jehovah as much as you do? Be assured that the Christian congregation is rich with potential for finding friends of that kind. Such friends will not lead you to fare badly in a spiritual sense. Rather, they will help you to obey Jehovah, to grow spiritually, and to sow with a view to the spirit. (Gal. 6:7, 8) They will help you to remain in God’s love.—Jude 21.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
