5 Wi ku mek wi lov fi Jehoava groa if wi geh fi noa ih Son, Jeezas, beta. Hihn mi kapi Jehoava persnaliti eena wahn perfek way. (Heeb. 1:3) Di bes way fi geh fi noa Jeezas da fi reed ahn stodi di foa Gaspl dehn. If yu noh di reed yu Baibl evri day yet, yu ku staat now ahn reed dehnya buk bowt Jeezas. Az yu reed, foakos pan ih kwaliti dehn. Peepl mi laik spen taim wid ahn an taak tu ahn. Hihn mi chreet chiljren eena wahn lovin way an ih wuda hog dehn op. (Maak 10:13-16) Jeezas mi frenli ahn kain, an ih disaipl dehn neva frayd fi tel ahn how dehn feel. (Mach. 16:22) Wi noa dat Jeezas da-mi laik ih Pa, soh dis teech wi dat wi ku feel di saym way bowt Jehoava. Wi ku pray tu ahn, an tel ahn eniting weh wi di tink er feel. Wi ku bee shoar dat hihn noh wahn joj wi. Hihn lov wi ahn kay bowt wi.—1 Peet. 5:7.

Soh az wi geh fi noa Jeezas beta, wi lov fi Jehoava wahn groa schranga.

Shee riyalaiz dat wahn machoar Kristyan noh need wahn rool fi evri sichuwayshan. Shee seh: “Ah mi need fi andastan Baibl prinsiplz insteda jos fala wahn rool.” Wen yu reed di Baibl, aks yuself: ‘Weh dis pasij teech mi bowt how Jehoava tink? Ih ga eni prinsipl weh ku help mi du weh rait? If yes, how Ah wahn benifit if Ah du weh di Baibl seh?ʼ (Ps. 19:7; Isa. 48:17, 18) Wen yu reed di Baibl ahn meditayt pahn weh yu laan, ih wahn eeziya fi mek disizhanz weh pleez Jehoava. Az yu kantinyu mek proagres, yu noh wahn need wahn rool fi evri sichuwayshan bikaaz yu wahn noa an andastan how Jehoava si tingz.

Bikaaz Ah mi ga frenz weh help mi, Ah mi staat tek persnal stodi ahn pryaa moa seeryos. Ah mi staat ga wahn schranga rilayshanship wid Jehoava, an Ah mi staat tu feel hapi agen.”
