Consideren la paciencia de nuestro Señor como salvación (2 Ped. 3:15).
Jehová nunca habría dado tantas pruebas de paciencia si no hubiera tenido que lidiar con las imperfecciones y pecados del hombre. Y ha estado dispuesto a hacerlo por milenios, lo cual prueba que posee esta maravillosa cualidad al grado máximo. Ciertamente, es justo que los cristianos le estemos agradecidos por ello. Todos somos pecadores y fallamos vez tras vez (Sant. 3:2; 1 Juan 1:8, 9). ¡Qué agradecidos debemos estar de que Jehová esté dispuesto a perdonarnos “en gran manera”! (Isa. 55:7.) Por triste que sea el hecho de nacer en imperfección, nos permite sentir el gran gozo de ver perdonadas nuestras faltas (Sal. 51:5, 9, 17). Además, experimentar en nuestra propia vida la conmovedora misericordia de Jehová nos impulsa a amarlo y a imitar esta cualidad en el trato con el prójimo (Col. 3:13).

Consider the patience of our Lord as salvation.—2 Pet. 3:15.
Jehovah’s qualities of patience and long-suffering would scarcely have come so prominently to the fore had it not become necessary for him to deal with human imperfections, sins, and shortcomings. Jehovah’s willingness to do so for thousands of years demonstrates that he possesses these marvelous qualities to a perfect degree, and for that we should be most grateful. We are all sinners, and we all stumble many times. (Jas. 3:2; 1 John 1:8, 9) How grateful we should be that Jehovah is willing to forgive “in a large way”! (Isa. 55:7) Consider also this fact: Having been born as imperfect sinners, we are in a position to experience the profound joy we feel when God forgives us our errors. (Ps. 51:5, 9, 17) Personally experiencing that heartwarming characteristic of Jehovah strengthens our love for him and encourages us to follow his example in our dealings with others.—Col. 3:13.
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.”
