TMSR: EPHESIANS Oct 77. What does it mean to have the "mind of Christ"? (Eph 4:3)[w12 7/15 p. 28 par. 7][/i].” How is unity with fellow believers achieved? We need to develop “complete lowliness of mind and mildness.” Moreover, Paul urges that we earnestly endeavor “ to observe the oneness of the spirit in the uniting bond of peace.” (Read Ephesians 4:1-3.) Applying this counsel involves yielding to the influence of God’s spirit and allowing it to produce its fruitage in us. That fruitage mends rifts between individuals, in contrast with the works of the flesh, which are always divisive." wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2012525#p12[/ul] |

TMSR: PHILIPIANS Oct 148. How did Paul feel about the things he had left behind? (Phil 3:8)[w12 3/15 p. 27 par. 12][ul"The apostle Paul gave up much to become a follower of Christ. (Phil. 3:4-6) How did he feel about the things he had left behind? He tells us: “What things were gains to me, these I have considered loss on account of the Christ.” And why? He continues: “I do indeed also consider all things to be loss on account of the excelling value of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. On account of him I have taken the loss of all things and I consider them as a lot of refuse, that I may gain Christ.”* (Phil. 3:7, 8) Just as a person who throws away garbage, or trash, does not later bemoan his loss, Paul did not regret any of the secular opportunities that he had left behind. He no longer felt that they were worthwhile"[/ul] |

TMSR: THESSALONIANS
Oct 219. What is the import of the counsel "Let us not sleep on as the rest do"? (1Thess 5:6)[w12 3/15 p. 10 par. 4][/i].” What did he mean? One way we can “sleep p. 11on” is by ignoring Jehovah’s moral standards. Another way we can “sleep on” is by ignoring the fact that Jehovah’s time to destroy the ungodly has approached. We must make sure that such ungodly individuals do not influence us to adopt their ways and attitudes." wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2012203#p8[/ul] |
