LOVING IN DEED AND IN TRUTH
When the inspired apostle tells us, at 1 John 3:18 (NW), to love “neither in word nor with the tongue” he does not mean that no verbal expression is ever to be made of love. The tongue should certainly be used to express interest in others, showing them that we care for them. But to limit expressions of love to words only is to come short of the Scriptural requirement. To show our sincere love for others calls for more than just words. For ministers it means to leave the comfort of one’s home to take to others good spiritual food that will strengthen them to endure present-day stresses and trials. During May Jehovah’s witnesses, complying with the commandment to show love for others, will call on people at their doors with good news about God’s kingdom and leave with interested persons a Bible study aid book and a booklet for only a 50c contribution. You may share in this work by contacting the nearest Kingdom Hall or by writing to this Society.
