¿CÓMO SE FORTALECE LA FE?

Como la fe es parte del fruto del espíritu santo, no es posible fortalecerla sin la ayuda de Dios (Gál. 5:22). Por eso debemos seguir el consejo de Jesús y pedir a Jehová que nos dé su espíritu. Jesús aseguró que su Padre se lo daría a todo el que se lo pidiera (Luc. 11:13).

Una vez que hemos fortalecido nuestra fe, debemos mantenerla así. La fe es como una fogata. Al principio, las llamas son muy intensas, pero si la fogata se deja sola, poco a poco se irá apagando hasta convertirse en cenizas. En cambio, si la alimentamos con leña, podemos mantenerla encendida el tiempo que queramos. Del mismo modo, podemos mantener nuestra fe viva y fuerte alimentándola todos los días con la Biblia. De ese modo crecerá el amor que le tenemos a ese libro y a su Autor, y eso mantendrá fuerte nuestra fe

En vista de lo anterior, no basta con las cosas que aprendimos antes del bautismo (Heb. 6:1, 2). Tenemos que estudiar las profecías bíblicas que ya se han cumplido, pues eso fortalece la fe. También debemos usar la Biblia como una herramienta para “medir” si nuestra fe está a la altura de lo que Dios espera de nosotros (lea Santiago 1:25; 2:24, 26).

 

El apóstol Pablo dijo que los cristianos pueden tener “un intercambio de estímulo” y animarse unos a otros (Rom. 1:12). La compañía de nuestros hermanos fortalece nuestra fe y la de ellos, sobre todo si son maduros y han demostrado que su fe es de calidad probada (Sant. 1:3). Las malas compañías apagan el fuego de la fe; las buenas lo alimentan (1 Cor. 15:33). Por eso, la Biblia nos manda que no faltemos a las reuniones: porque así podemos seguir “animándonos unos a otros” (lea Hebreos 10:24, 25). Además, lo que oímos en el Salón del Reino fortalece la fe. Como bien dice Pablo: “La fe sigue a lo oído” (Rom. 10:17). ¿Se está esforzando por ir a todas las reuniones?

La predicación no solo sirve para fortalecer la fe de quienes nos escuchan, sino también la nuestra. Desde el siglo primero hasta nuestros días, esa labor ha ayudado a los cristianos a confiar plenamente en Jehová y a hablar con valor en todo momento (Hech. 4:17-20; 13:46)

 Cuando vemos cómo nos ayuda Jehová y cómo contesta nuestras oraciones, nuestra fe crece. Eso fue lo que les pasó a Caleb y Josué. Su fe los ayudó mientras espiaban la Tierra Prometida y siguió creciendo a lo largo de toda su vida al ver una y otra vez la guía y la ayuda de Jehová. Por eso, Josué pudo decirles a los israelitas con total convicción: “Ni una sola palabra de todas las buenas palabras que Jehová su Dios les ha hablado ha fallado”. Luego añadió: “Teman a Jehová y sírvanle exentos de falta y en verdad”. Y concluyó diciendo: “En cuanto a mí y a mi casa, nosotros serviremos a Jehová” (Jos. 23:14; 24:14, 15). Nuestra fe también crecerá cuando probemos la bondad de Dios (Sal. 34:8).

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
