1-2. Sometime, how plenty Christian dem can feel when they going through problem?

IMAGINE da one boat on the sea and heavy breeze blowing. The force from the breeze start making the boat to go up and down. If somebody not put the anchor down, the boat will go anywhere the breeze send it. Anchor da heavy stick or iron da can stop the breeze from just carrying the boat anywhere.

² Sometime, when you going through serious problem, you can just be like da boat. You can’t feel the same way everyday. For example, some day you can feel da Jehovah really love you and he helping you. But then sometime, you will start thinking whether Jehovah seeing the thing dem you going through. (Ps. 10:1; 13:1) Maybe one of your friend tell you something da encourage you and it make you feel good for some time. (Prov. 17:17; 25:11) But then after some time you start thinking again whether Jehovah really helping you or he get time for you. So when you going through problem, how you can put your own of anchor down? Da mean, how you can be sure and continue to be sure da Jehovah love you and helping you?

3. (a) According to Psalm 31:7 and 136:​1, what “loyal love” mean? (b) Why we can say da Jehovah set the best example in showing loyal love? (Also see the picture.)

³ One way you can stand strong when you going through problem, da to remember Jehovah loyal love. (Read Psalm 31:7; 136:1.) “Loyal love” mean to get deep love for somebody and stick to them no matter what. Jehovah set the best example in showing loyal love. In fact, the Bible say da Jehovah “abundant in loyal love.” (Ex. 34:​6, 7) The Bible also say: “You abound in loyal love for all those who call on you.” (Ps. 86:5) This Bible verse dem mean: Jehovah will never leave his faithful servant dem! When we remember da Jehovah loyal, it can help us to stand strong when we going through problem. —Ps. 23:4.

REMEMBER DA JEHOVAH LOVE DA BASIC BIBLE TEACHING

4. Give example of some basic Bible teachings, and explain why it not easy for us to stop believing it.

⁴ Another way you can stand strong when you going through problem, da to remember da Jehovah love da basic Bible teaching. When you hear “basic Bible teaching,” wetin you can think about? Maybe you can think about the truth dem you na learn from the Bible. For example, you na learn da God name Jehovah, Jesus da God only Son who he make by hisself, the people who na die not know anything, and the earth will be paradise and people will live there forever. (Ps. 83:18; Eccl. 9:5; John 3:16; Rev. 21:​3, 4) When you wor convince da this teaching dem da true, it wor hard for anybody to stop you from believing it. Why? Because the thing dem you learn wor base on real proof. How knowing da Jehovah love da basic Bible teaching can help you when you start thinking da Jehovah can’t see what you going through or he not even get time for you? Let see.

5. Wetin help you to stop believing the lie-lie thing dem you learn before?

⁵ The time you start studying the Bible, wetin help you to stop believing the lie-lie them you use to believe about God? Maybe you start comparing what you learn from your religion to what the Bible teach. Think about this example: Let say you use to believe da Jesus da Almighty God. But when you start studying the Bible, you start thinking, ‘Da teaching da true?’ After you study what the Bible teach about this topic, you get convince da Jesus not Almighty God. You stop believing the lie-lie thing dem you learn before. Then you start believing da Jesus da “the firstborn of all creation,” “the only Son who God made by hisself.” (Col. 1:15; John 3:18) Da true, sometime it can be hard to leave the lie-lie thing dem from false religion. (2 Cor. 10:​4, 5) But when you learn the truth, you not go back to this lie-lie teaching dem again.—Phil. 3:13.

6. Why you can be convince da Jehovah “loyal love endures forever”?

⁶ You can do the same thing when you thinking about what the Bible say about Jehovah love. When you going through problem and you start thinking da Jehovah not love you, ask yourself, ‘The way I thinking correct?’ Then compare the way you thinking with what the theme scripture for this article say. (Psalm 136:1). Why this scripture say da Jehovah love “loyal”? Why this psalm talk about “his loyal love endures forever” 26 times? This one teach us da Jehovah loyal love for his people da basic Bible teaching, just like other teaching dem from the Bible da wor easy for you to accept. The idea da Jehovah can’t see what you going through or he not get time for you, da lie. Don’t believe da lie the same way you will not believe any other false teaching!

7. Talk about some scripture dem da prove da Jehovah love you.

⁷ The Bible get plenty other scripture dem da prove da Jehovah love us. For example, Jesus tell his disciple dem say: “You better pass plenty sparrows.” (Matt. 10:31) Jehovah hisself tell his people: “I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness.” (Isa. 41:10) Ehn this scripture dem clear? Jesus not say ‘Maybe you better pass plenty sparrows,’ and Jehovah not say ‘Maybe I will help you.’ But they say: “You better pass” and “I will help you.” This scripture dem really prove da God love you. So if you ever na think before da Jehovah not really love you because you going through problem, this scripture dem can help you to feel good. And they can also convince you da Jehovah really love you. So if you not too convince, pray to Jehovah about it and think good-good on this scripture dem. When you do it, you will be able to say: “We have come to know and believe the love that God has for us.”a 1 John 4:16

8. Wetin you can do if the feeling da Jehovah not love you still come back?

⁸ But wetin you can do if the feeling da Jehovah not love you still come back? Compare the way you feeling with what you know about him. Our feelings can change. But the Bible say the love Jehovah get for us can’t change because it base on real proof. If we not believe da Jehovah love us, then it like we saying da the thing 1 John 4:8 say about Jehovah love, da lie.

THINK GOOD-GOOD ON WHAT JESUS SAY ABOUT JEHOVAH LOVE”

9-10. Wetin Jesus mean when he say, “The Father really love yor?” John 16:​26, 27? (Also see the picture.)

⁹ We can learn more about Jehovah love from what Jesus tell his disciple dem. He say: “The Father really love yor.” (Read John 16:​26, 27.) Jesus not say this one just to make his disciple dem feel good. In fact, the verse dem before this one show da Jesus wor not talking about the way his disciple dem wor feeling. But he wor talking about prayer.

¹⁰ Jesus just finish telling his disciple dem da they mon not pray to him but they mon pray in his name. (John 16:​23, 24) Da wor something important for them to know. Maybe the disciple dem wor coming be praying to Jesus after he come back to life. Why? Because Jesus wor their friend and he really love them. So maybe, they wor coming think da he will want listen to their prayer so he can talk with Jehovah to help them. But Jesus tell them to not think like da. Why? Because, he tell them say: “The Father really love yor.” In fact, Jesus say this one when he wor teaching his disciple dem about prayer. What this one show? Through your study, you get to know Jesus and love him. (John 14:21) But like Jesus disciple dem, you can pray to God because you convince da he hisself really love you. So anytime you pray to Jehovah, you showing da you convince da Jehovah really love you.—1 John 5:14.

WETIN CAN MAKE YOU TO START THINKING DA JEHOVAH NOT LOVE YOU?

11. Why Satan will be happy if we start thinking da Jehovah not love us?

¹¹ Wetin can make you to start thinking da Jehovah not love you? Maybe you will say da Satan. And da true, Satan da one of the cause. The Bible say da the Devil looking for somebody to destroy. So he will be happy if we start thinking da Jehovah not really love us. (1 Pet. 5:8) And he want us to feel da we not worth to benefit from Jesus death. But da Jehovah love make him to send Jesus to die for us. (Heb. 2:9) So if we start thinking da Jehovah not really love us, who will benefit? Or who you think will be happy if we get discourage and stop serving Jehovah? Da Satan. He want us to think da Jehovah not love us, but da not true. Da he the one Jehovah not love. But still, he can use trick to make us feel da, we the one Jehovah not love. (Eph. 6:11) The more we know what our enemy trying to do, da the more we will try our best to “oppose the Devil.”—Jas. 4:7.

12-13. Because we not perfect, how it can make us to feel da Jehovah not love us?

¹² Wetin else can make you to think da Jehovah not love you? Da because we wor born with sin. (Ps. 51:5; Rom. 5:12) Sin spoil the friendship between human being and God. It also na spoil the way we can think and feel. And it make it, we not alright in our body

¹³ Da sin can make us to get bad feeling. And this bad feeling can make us to feel guilty, worry, scary and shame. So anytime we sin, we can feel like da. But we can also feel like da because all of us wor born with sin. And da not how Jehovah make us to be. (Rom. 8:​20, 21) For example, when car tire flat, it can’t do the work da it suppose to do. Da the same way because we not perfect, we not able to do all the thing dem Jehovah make us to do. Da the reason why sometime, we can be thinking whether Jehovah really love us. But when we start feeling like da, we mon remember da Jehovah can show “loyal love to those who love him and keep his commandments.”—Neh. 1:5.

14. When we think about the way Jesus die for us, how it can help us to stop thinking da Jehovah not love us? (Romans 5:8) (Also see the box “Know da Sin Get the Power to Fool Us.”)

¹⁴ Sometime, we can feel bad because we not deserve Jehovah love. And to talk the true, we not really deserve Jehovah love and da what make his love special. No work can make us to get Jehovah love. But because Jehovah love us, he send Jesus to die for us so he can forgive our sin. (1 John 4:10) Also remember, da sinners Jesus die for and not perfect people. (Read Romans 5:8.) Nobody perfect so Jehovah know da we will make mistake. We know now da because we not perfect, sometime it can make us to think da Jehovah not love us. Understanding this one good-good can make us to want try our best to fight da wrong thinking.—Rom. 7:​24, 25.

CONTINUE TO STICK TO JEHOVAH

15-16. When we continue to stick to Jehovah, wetin we can be sure about, and why? (2 Samuel 22:26)

¹⁵ Jehovah want us to make the right decision and da to stick to him. (Deut. 30:​19, 20) When we do it, we can be sure da he will stick to us too. (Read 2 Samuel 22:26.) So long we stick to Jehovah, we can be sure da he will help us to bear any problem we going through.

¹⁶ We na learn da we get plenty reasons to remain strong when we going through problem. The Bible say da Jehovah love us and he will help us. And we believe it. So anytime we feel da Jehovah not love us, we mon think on the truth we know instead of the way we feeling. Let all of us continue to be convince da Jehovah will always love us and stick to us.
