[1272] _____________________________________________ Schedule for Todays Bible Reading: Acts 27-28 _____________________________________________ Text for Wednesday, November 26 Observe the oneness of the spirit in the uniting bond of peace.—Eph. 4:3. We attain such unity when we apply Jehovah’s instruction and allow ourselves to be molded by God’s holy spirit. Although Jehovah has declared his anointed ones righteous as sons and the other sheep righteous as friends on the basis of Christ’s ransom sacrifice, personal differences will arise as long as any of us are alive on earth in this system of things. (Rom. 5:9; Jas. 2:23) Otherwise there would have been no need for the inspired advice for us to continue “putting up with one another.” How is unity with fellow believers achieved? We need to develop “complete lowliness of mind and mildness.” (Eph. 4:1, 2) 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. w12 7/15 4:6, 7 _____________________________________________ Post Reference: Watchtower Online Library [wol.jw.org/en/wol/h/r1/lp-e] We encourage everyone to explore our official website at [jw.org/]
