La fe sigue a lo oído (Rom. 10:17).
¿Cómo podemos tener verdadera fe? Jesús fija el modelo a seguir. Él conocía a fondo los escritos sagrados y tenía plena confianza en su contenido. Su arma no era una espada literal, sino la espada del espíritu, la Palabra de Dios. Vez tras vez hacía referencia a ella para apoyar sus enseñanzas. De hecho, a menudo iniciaba sus declaraciones con la expresión “está escrito” y pasaba a citar de las Escrituras (Mat. 21:13; Juan 8:17). Para que nuestra fe pueda resistir las pruebas que inevitablemente le sobrevienen a todo cristiano, tenemos que leer y estudiar la Palabra de Dios todos los días y asistir a las reuniones. Así se nos quedarán grabadas en la mente las verdades que sustentan nuestra fe. Además, debemos reflexionar profundamente a fin de que esas verdades echen raíces en el corazón. Solo una fe viva nos dará el valor que necesitamos para actuar (Sant. 2:17). Finalmente, debemos pedirle a Dios su espíritu santo, pues la fe es parte del fruto de ese espíritu (Gál. 5:22).
Saturday, May 28
Faith follows the thing heard.—Rom. 10:17.
How can we acquire real faith? Jesus’ example guides us. He displayed a thorough knowledge of the Scriptures and complete confidence in them. As a weapon, Jesus wielded, not a literal sword, but the sword of the spirit, God’s Word. Time and again he supported his teachings with a reference to the Scriptures. Often he prefaced his words with the statement: “It is written,” that is, in God’s Word. (Matt. 21:13; John 8:17) To build faith that can withstand the trials of the sort that inevitably come with discipleship, we must read and study the Bible daily and attend Christian meetings, putting into our minds the truths that are the foundation of faith. We must also meditate—reflect deeply—on what we learn, letting it sink into our heart. Only faith that is alive can move us to courageous action. (Jas. 2:17) And we must pray for holy spirit because faith is part of the spirit’s fruitage.—Gal. 5:22.
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.”
