1. Wanem nao wanfala nogud feeling wea kasem planti pipol, and samfala tru Christian tu?

 WASWE, God lovem iu olsem man wanwan? Samfala pipol agree dat God lovem olketa man, olsem John 3:16 hem talem. Bat olketa feel olsem: ‘God no savve lovem mi olsem man wanwan.’ Maet samfala tru Christian tu garem daot olsem samfala taem. Wanfala man wea garem disfala feeling hem sei: “Hem hard tumas for biliv God hem garem eni feeling for mi.” Waswe, samfala taem iu garem kaen daot olsem?

2, 3. Hu nao laekem iumi for biliv iumi iusles and Jehovah no lovem iumi, and hao nao iumi savve winim datfala tingting?

² Satan hem laek tumas for iumi biliv dat Jehovah God no lovem iumi or tinghae long iumi. Hem tru, planti taem Satan switim pipol thru long praod fasin bilong olketa seleva. (2 Corinthians 11:3) Bat hem hapi tu for distroem eni feeling man maet garem for respectim seleva. (John 7:47-49; 8:13, 44) Diswan hem kamap big distaem long olketa “last day” wea hard tumas. Planti pipol distaem growap insaed famili wea “no garem love.” Planti mas evritaem deal witim pipol wea raf, selfish, and followim tingting bilong olketa seleva nomoa. (2 Timothy 3:1-5) From pipol safa from raf fasin, wei for againstim kala skin and fasin for heit for planti year, diswan mekem olketa feel iusles or no fit for kasem eni love.

³ Sapos iu garem kaen nogud feeling olsem, no lus hope. Planti long iumi savve judgem iumiseleva long wei wea ova tumas samfala taem. Bat remember, Word bilong God hem for “stretem evri samting” and for “aotem olketa samting wea strong tumas.” (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Corinthians 10:4) Bible sei: “Bae iumi sure long heart bilong iumi God hem lovem iumi. And nomata sapos heart bilong iumi mekem iumi feel guilty, God hem savve  gud long iumi winim iumiseleva and hem savve long evri samting.” (1 John 3: 19, 20) Bae iumi lukim fofala wei wea Bible helpem iumi for “sure long heart bilong iumi” dat Jehovah lovem iumi.

4, 5. Hao nao tokpiksa bilong Jesus abaotem olketa sparrow showimaot Jehovah tinghae long iumi?

⁴ First samting, Bible talem stret hao gud samting hem stap insaed evri servant bilong God and hem luksavve long diswan. Olsem example, Jesus sei: “Man savve salem tufala smol bird [sparrow] for wanfala selen nomoa, iaman? Nomata olsem, Dadi bilong iufala hem savve taem wanfala smol bird olsem hem dae. Iu savve, hem kaontem finis tu evri hair long hed bilong iufala. So iufala no fraet, bikos iufala barava important winim evri smol bird hia.” (Matthew 10:29-31) Tingim wanem toktok hia minim for pipol long first century wea lisin long Jesus.

⁵ Maet iumi ask why nao man laek peim wanfala sparrow? Well, long taem bilong Jesus sparrow nao bird wea cheap tumas for peim long market. Lukim hao man savve baem tufala sparrow for smol selen nomoa. Bihaen moa Jesus sei sapos man willing for spendem tufala coin, hem savve kasem no fofala sparrow, bat faevfala. Olketa givim datfala extra bird olsem hem no garem eni value. Maet long eye bilong man olketa bird olsem iusles nomoa, bat hao nao Creator ting long olketa? Jesus hem sei: “God hem no forgetim eniwan long olketa [nomata datwan wea olketa addim go tu].” (Luke 12:6, 7) Maet iumi start for minim nao point bilong Jesus. Sapos Jehovah tinghae tumas long wanfala sparrow, waswe long wanfala man? Olsem Jesus talem, Jehovah savve long evri information abaotem iumi. Tru nao, hem kaontem evri hair long hed bilong iumi!

6. Why nao iumi sure Jesus hem no ova tumas taem hem sei Jehovah kaontem olketa hair long hed bilong iumi?

⁶ Kaontem olketa hair long hed? Samfala maet tingse toktok bilong Jesus hem ova tumas. Bat, tingim hope bilong resurrection. Jehovah savve evribit abaotem iumi mekem hem fit for creatim iumi moa! Wei wea hem rememberim evri information  abaotem iumi, insaed diswan hem genetic code and evri memory and samting wea kasem iumi long olketa year wea go pass, showimaot hem tinghae tumas long iumi. a Sapos iumi markem datwan witim wei for kaontem olketa hair long hed​—planti pipol garem samting olsem 100,000 hair—​hem no hard tumas.

7, 8. (a) Wanem nao samfala fasin wea Jehovah laek tumas for faendem taem hem lukluk insaed heart bilong olketa man? (b) Wanem nao samfala waka wea iumi duim wea Jehovah tinghae long hem?

⁷ Mek-tu samting, Bible showim iumi wanem Jehovah lukim wea mekem hem laekem olketa servant bilong hem. For tok stret, hem laekem olketa gud fasin bilong iumi and waka wea iumi duim. King David sei olsem long son bilong hem Solomon: “Jehovah hem lukluk long evri heart, and hem luksavve long evri tingting bilong man.” (1 Chronicles 28:9) Taem God lukluk insaed long planti billion heart bilong man insaed disfala world wea fulap witim raf fasin and heit, hem hapi tumas taem hem lukim wanfala heart wea lovem peace, truth, and raeteous fasin! Wanem nao happen taem God faendem wanfala heart wea fulap witim love for hem, wea lane abaotem hem and sharem datfala savve witim nara pipol? Jehovah talem iumi dat hem luksavve long olketa wea talem narafala pipol abaotem hem. Hem garem “wanfala buk for rememberim” evriwan wea “fraet long Jehovah and olketa wea tingim nem bilong hem.” (Malachi 3:16) Hem ting long olketa fasin hia olsem samting wea spesol long hem.

⁸ Wanem nao samfala gudfala waka wea Jehovah tinghae long hem? Olketa wei wea iumi waka hard for followim Son bilong hem, Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 2:21) Wanfala waka wea God tinghae long hem and iumi mas duim hem for talemaot gud nius bilong  Kingdom. Long Romans 10:15, hem sei: “Leg bilong olketa wea talemaot gud nius abaotem olketa gudfala samting hem luk naes tumas!” Maet iumi no ting long leg bilong iumi olsem samting wea “luk naes tumas.” Bat long hia leg piksarem hard waka wea olketa servant bilong Jehovah duim for preachim gud nius. Evri waka olsem luk naes and spesol tumas long eye bilong hem.​—Matthew 24:14; 28:19, 20.

9, 10. (a) Why nao iumi sure Jehovah tinghae long wei wea iumi go ahed strong nomata taem iumi feisim olketa hard samting? (b) Jehovah nating savve ting waswe long olketa faithful servant bilong hem?

⁹ Jehovah tinghae tu long wei wea iumi go ahed strong. (Matthew 24:13) Remember, Satan laekem iu for rejectim Jehovah. Each day wea iu stap loyal long Jehovah hem narafala day wea iu help for givim ansa long laea toktok bilong Satan. (Proverbs 27:11) Samfala taem wei for go ahed strong hem no isi. Olketa health problem, hard samting saed long selen, feel nogud tumas saed long feeling, and olketa nara hard samting savve mekem each day kamap wanfala test. Taem samting wea man expectim hem delay, diswan savve mekem hem feel wikdaon tu. (Proverbs 13:12) Taem man go ahed strong nomata hem kasem olketa challenge hia, Jehovah hem ting moa hae long hem. Dastawe  King David askem Jehovah for keepim tias bilong hem insaed wanfala “skin botol,” and hem barava sure and sei: “Waswe, olketa no stap insaed long buk bilong iu?” (Psalm 56:8) Tru nao, Jehovah barava tinghae and rememberim evri tias and wei for safa wea iumi kasem taem iumi go ahed strong for loyal long hem. Diswan tu hem spesol long eye bilong hem.

¹⁰ Bat, heart wea judgem hemseleva maet no acceptim disfala pruv wea showimaot God hem tinghae long iumi. Hem maet go ahed for sei: ‘Bat staka pipol garem gud fasin winim mi. Taem Jehovah markem mi witim olketa hem masbi feel nogud long mi!’ Jehovah no savve markem iumi witim narawan; and tu hem no hard or raf long tingting bilong hem. (Galatians 6:4) Hem luk go long evri samting insaed heart bilong iumi, and hem tinghae long evri gud samting​—nomata hem smol nomoa.

11. Wanem nao iumi savve lanem abaotem Jehovah from wei wea hem deal witim Abijah?

¹¹ Mek-thri samting, taem Jehovah luk insaed heart bilong iumi, hem separatem gud samting from nogud samting, and hem luk for olketa gud samting. Olsem example, taem Jehovah sei full apostate kingdom bilong King Jeroboam bae finis, Hem givim order for olketa berem Abijah, wanfala son bilong king, long gudfala wei. Why nao olsem? “Jehovah, God bilong Israel lukim gud samting long hem.” (1 Kings 14:1, 10-13) Jehovah hem lukluk long heart bilong datfala young man and faendem “gud samting.” Nomata hem smolfala samting nomoa, Jehovah tinghae long datwan and putim insaed Bible. Hem givim reward for datwan tu, taem hem showim mercy wea fitim long wanfala member bilong datfala famili wea apostate.

12, 13. (a) Hao nao story bilong King Jehoshaphat showimaot Jehovah hem luk aotem gud samting long iumi nomata taem iumi sin? (b) Saed long olketa gud fasin and waka wea iumi duim, hao nao Jehovah hem olsem Dadi wea garem love?

¹² Narafala example wea winim datwan hem gudfala King Jehoshaphat. Taem datfala king duim wanfala krangge samting, profet bilong Jehovah talem long hem: “Bikos long diswan Jehovah  hem barava kros long iu.” Datwan hem serious samting! Bat message bilong Jehovah no finis long there. Hem go ahed for sei: “Nomata olsem, God lukim gud samting long iu.” (2 Chronicles 19:1-3) So raeteous kros bilong Jehovah no mekem hem les for lukim gudfala samting long Jehoshaphat. Datwan difren tumas from pipol wea no perfect! Taem iumi feel nogud long narawan, maet iumi no lukim gudfala samting abaotem olketa. And taem iumi sin, wei for feel nogud, shame, and guilty mekem iumi blind and no lukim gudfala samting insaed long iumiseleva. Nomata olsem, iumi mas remember hao sapos iumi repent long olketa sin and no duim moa, Jehovah hem forgivim iumi.

¹³ Taem Jehovah lukluk insaed long iu, hem torowem aot olketa sin, olsem wanfala man for luk aotem gold hem torowem nogud gravol. Waswe long olketa fasin and samting wea iu duim wea gud? Olketa hia nao “gold” wea hem keepim! Waswe, iu lukim wei wea dadi and mami wea lovem pikinini bilong olketa keepim drawing or eniting wea pikinini duim long skul, nomata bihaen pikinini forgetim finis datwan? Jehovah hem Dadi wea garem bigfala love winim eniwan. Taem iumi stap faithful long hem, hem nating forgetim olketa fasin  and samting iumi duim wea gud. Tru nao, hem tingim wei for forgetim diswan olsem wicked fasin, and no enitaem hem wicked. (Hebrews 6:10) Hem lukluk gud insaed iumi long nara wei tu.

14, 15. (a) Why nao Jehovah savve lukim gud samting insaed long iumi nomata iumi no perfect? Minim tokpiksa wea fitim diswan. (b) Wanem nao Jehovah bae duim witim olketa gud samting hem faendem insaed long iumi, and hao nao hem ting long faithful pipol bilong hem?

¹⁴ Jehovah savve luk no just long wei wea iumi fail, bat long olketa gud samting iumi fit for duim. For showim diswan: Pipol wea lovem olketa samting wea luk naes bae duim big samting for stretem eniting olsem painting or nara samting wea kamap nogud. Olsem example, long National Gallery long London, England, taem samwan hem iusim shotgun for spoelem wanfala Leonardo da Vinci painting wea kost bilong hem samting olsem $30 million, no eniwan sei for olketa torowem datfala painting. Stretawe olketa start for fixim datfala spesol painting wea 500 year old. Why nao olsem? Bikos hem spesol tumas long eye bilong pipol wea lovem art. Waswe, iu moa important winim wanfala drawing? Long eye bilong God iu moa important—nomata wei wea iu born witim sin barava spoelem iu. (Psalm 72:12-14) Jehovah God, kleva Creator wea wakem olketa man, bae duim evriting hem need for duim for mekem evriwan wea acceptim loving kea bilong hem kamap perfect moa.​—Acts 3:21; Romans 8:20-22.

¹⁵ Yes, Jehovah lukim gud samting insaed long iumi wea iumiseleva maet no lukim. And taem iumi servem hem, bae hem mekem datfala gud samting grow go kasem taem iumi perfect. Nomata hao nao world bilong Satan hem deal witim iumi, Jehovah ting long olketa faithful servant bilong hem olsem barava spesol.​—Haggai 2:7.

16. Wanem nao best pruv wea showimaot love bilong Jehovah for iumi, and hao nao iumi savve disfala present hem for iumi wanwan?

¹⁶ Mek-foa samting, Jehovah duim planti samting for pruvim love bilong hem for iumi. Tru nao, ransom sakrifaes bilong Christ hem best ansa for laea idea bilong Satan wea sei iumi iusles  and no fit for eniwan lovem iumi. No enitaem iumi shud forgetim hao nogud wei wea Jesus safa and dae long torture stake and wei wea Jehovah tu barava safa taem hem lukim Son wea hem lovem hem dae, hem pruvim tufala lovem iumi. Sorre tumas, planti pipol faendem hard for bilivim hao present hia hem for olketa wanwan. Olketa feel olketa no fit for kasem datwan. Bat remember hao aposol Paul hem persecutim olketa follower bilong Christ bifor. Nomata olsem, hem raet: ‘Son bilong God lovem mi and dae for sevem mi.’​—Galatians 1:13; 2:20.

17. Long wanem wei nao Jehovah pullim iumi long hem and Son bilong hem?

¹⁷ Jehovah pruvim love bilong hem for iumi taem hem helpem each wan for kasem gud samting from sakrifaes bilong Christ. Jesus sei: “Hard for eniwan kam long mi sapos Dadi wea sendem mi kam hem no leadim hem kam long mi firstaem.” (John 6:44) Tru nao, Jehovah seleva leadim iumi go long Son bilong hem and datfala hope for laef olowe. Hao nao olsem? Thru long preaching waka, wea kasem man wanwan, and thru long holy spirit, wea Jehovah iusim for helpem iumi minim and followim olketa spiritual truth nomata iumi garem olketa wik point and iumi no perfect. Dastawe Jehovah fit for talem iumi sem samting wea hem talem Israel: “Mi lovem iu tumas and love bilong mi for iu hem for olowe. Dastawe mi pullim iu kam long mi bikos loyal love bilong mi hem big tumas.”​—Jeremiah 31:3.

18, 19. (a) Wanem nao barava klos wei wea Jehovah showimaot love bilong hem for iumi, and wanem nao showimaot hem kea for iumi wanwan? (b) Hao nao Word bilong God talem iumi Jehovah hem savve feelim feeling bilong iumi?

¹⁸ Maet iumi feelim love bilong Jehovah long barava klos wei thru long privilege bilong prea. Bible invaetem each wan long iumi for “prea evritaem” long God. (1 Thessalonians 5:17) Hem lisin. And tu, hem garem nem “Datwan wea Herem prea.” (Psalm 65:2) Hem no givim disfala waka long eni narawan, nomata Son bilong hem tu. Tingim diswan: Creator bilong universe hem encouragem iumi for story witim hem thru long prea, witim free wei for toktok. And hao nao wei bilong hem for lisin? Hem no garem eni feeling, and no kea? Nomoa nao.

 ¹⁹ Jehovah hem savve feelim feeling bilong man. Wanem nao datwan minim? Wanfala faithful olo Christian elder sei olsem: “Fasin for feelim wanem narawan feelim, hem minim safa bilong iu hem insaed long heart bilong mi.” Waswe, wei wea iumi safa hem really affectim Jehovah? Bible sei olsem abaotem taem wea pipol bilong hem Israel olketa safa: “Long evri hard taem wea olketa kasem, hem tu feel sorre long datwan.” (Isaiah 63:9) Jehovah no only lukim trabol bilong olketa; hem feelim feeling bilong olketa tu. Jehovah seleva showimaot hao strong nao feeling bilong hem taem hem talem olketa servant bilong hem: “Eniwan wea tasim iufala hem tasim pupil long eye bilong mi.” b (Zechariah 2:8) Datwan hem pain tumas! Yes, Jehovah garem feeling for iumi. Taem iumi safa, hem safa tu.

20. For obeyim kaonsel wea stap long Romans 12:3, wanem tingting wea no balance nao iumi mas stap klia long hem?

²⁰ No eni Christian wea balance bae iusim disfala pruv long love bilong God and wei wea hem tinghae, for kamap wanfala excuse for praod or bighed. Aposol Paul hem raet olsem: “From God hem barava kaen tumas long mi, mi talem iufala evriwan for no tinghae tumas long iufala seleva, bat garem gudfala tingting fitim faith wea God givim long iufala wanwan.” (Romans 12:3) Narafala transleison sei: “Mi want for talem evriwan long iufala for no ting long hemseleva winim wanem hem fitim, bat for garem stret wei for lukluk long hemseleva.” (A Translation in the Language of the People, by Charles B. Williams) So nomata iumi enjoyim love bilong Dadi long heven, iumi mas garem gudfala tingting and remember hao iumi no peim or fit for kasem disfala love bilong God.​—Luke 17:10.

21. Wanem nao olketa laea bilong Satan wea iumi mas go ahed for againstim, and wanem tru samting abaotem God nao iumi mas go ahed for strongim insaed heart bilong iumi?

²¹ Each wan long iumi mas duim evriting wea iumi fit for  duim for rejectim evri laea bilong Satan, insaed diswan hem laea tingting for sei iumi iusles and no fit for God lovem iumi. Sapos olketa samting wea kasem iu long laef mekem iu ting long iuseleva olsem wanfala problem wea hard tumas for bigfala love bilong God for winim, or olketa gud samting wea iu duim hem smol tumas for eye bilong God lukim, or olketa sin bilong iu big tumas for dae bilong Son bilong hem for kavarem, then iu bilivim laea tingting. Rejectim olketa laea olsem witim full heart bilong iu! Go ahed for strongim heart bilong iu witim disfala truth from God wea Paul talem: “Mi bilivim God and Lord bilong iumi Christ Jesus tufala barava lovem iumi. Nomata iumi dae or iumi laef, or nomata long eni samting wea angel or gavman duim, or nomata tu long eni samting wea stap distaem or wea bae kamap bihaen or eni paoa, or eni samting antap or long daon or eni nara samting wea God wakem, no eni samting hia savve stopem iumi for no kasem love bilong tufala.”​—Romans 8:38, 39.
