LIVING AS CHRISTIANS

Improving Our Skills in the Ministry—Reaching the Heart With “Keep Yourselves in God’s Love”

WHY IMPORTANT: People must learn Jehovah’s standards and conform to them in order to worship him acceptably. (Isa 2:3, 4) The “God’s Love” book, our second study publication, helps Bible students to discern how godly principles relate to daily life. (Heb 5:14) We must try to reach the heart when we teach them so that they may have the proper motivation to make changes.—Ro 6:17.
