Tienes que amar a tu prójimo como a ti mismo (Mat. 22:39).
Ese amor (llamado en griego agápe) es de orden moral, gobernado por principios y por el sentido del deber y de la corrección. Pero puede ser cálido e intenso (1 Ped. 1:22). Se refleja en palabras y actos desinteresados (1 Cor. 13:4-7). Como es producto del espíritu santo, permite a los cristianos hacer cosas imposibles para la mayoría, como superar las barreras raciales, culturales y políticas (Juan 13:34, 35; Gál. 5:22). Los mansos no pueden menos que sentirse conmovidos al ver tal amor. Por ejemplo, en Israel un joven judío asistió por primera vez a una reunión cristiana y se asombró de ver a judíos y árabes adorando a Jehová como hermanos. Eso lo convenció de estudiar la Biblia y asistir a las reuniones. ¿Tratamos a nuestros hermanos con ese amor sincero? ¿Estamos pendientes de dar a los nuevos una cordial bienvenida al Salón del Reino, sin importar su nacionalidad, color de piel o nivel económico?

You must love your neighbor as yourself.—Matt. 22:39.
That love (a‧ga′pe in Greek) is a moral love that takes into account duty, principle, and propriety, but it can be warm and intense. (1 Pet. 1:22) It is reflected in selfless words and deeds. (1 Cor. 13:4-7) Because love is a product of God’s holy spirit, it enables true Christians to do what others cannot do, such as overcome racial, cultural, and political barriers. (John 13:34, 35; Gal. 5:22) Sheeplike ones cannot help but be moved when they see such love. For example, when a young Jewish man in Israel attended his first Christian meeting, he was amazed to see Jewish and Arab brothers worshipping Jehovah side by side. As a result, he began to attend meetings regularly and accepted a Bible study. Do you show such heartfelt love to your brothers? And do you make it a point to extend a warm welcome to newcomers at your Kingdom Hall, regardless of their nationality, skin color, or social standing?
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.”
