Deben vestirse de la nueva personalidad (Efe. 4:24).
Tenemos que seguir los pasos de Jesús al mayor grado posible y así cumplir con nuestra dedicación incondicional a Dios. Por eso nos esforzamos día a día por desnudarnos de la vieja personalidad y vestirnos con la nueva (Efe. 4:20-23). Cuando admiramos a un amigo, tratamos de copiar su ejemplo y cualidades. ¡Con cuánta más razón deberíamos aprender de Cristo e imitarlo! Eso exige que respetemos el medio por el que Jesús dirige a sus discípulos. Al frente de cada congregación ha puesto a los ancianos, hombres que, aunque no son perfectos, demuestran madurez espiritual. Y los ha nombrado con el fin de “[reajustar a] los santos [...] para la edificación del cuerpo del Cristo” (Efe. 4:11, 12). Si alguien comete un error, Jesús, el Rey Mesiánico, se encargará de resolver el problema del mejor modo y en el momento más oportuno. ¿Confiamos en que realmente lo hará?

Put on the new personality.—Eph. 4:24.
In line with your wholehearted dedication to God, you want to imitate Jesus to the best of your ability. This involves continuing to work at putting away the old personality and putting on the new. (Eph. 4:20-23) When you come to respect a friend, you likely try to learn from his example and good qualities. Likewise, you want to learn from Christ and imitate him. You also need to respect the way Jesus directs those dedicated to Jehovah. Christ is using imperfect humans in the local congregation, particularly the spiritually older men, the appointed elders. The provision of having such men appointed is “with a view to the readjustment of the holy ones, . . . for the building up of the body of the Christ.” (Eph. 4:11, 12) Even if an imperfect human makes a mistake, Jesus as King of the heavenly Kingdom is able to handle the matter in his time and way. Do you believe that?
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.”
