Monday, February 27 Faith by itself, without works, is dead.—Jas. 2:17.
If you have strong conviction, it is reasonable to expect that you will show it by your actions. Young ones must also manifest “holy acts of conduct.” (2 Pet. 3:11) To do so, you must be morally clean. How are you doing in that regard? For exam- ple, think about the past six months. How have you demon- strated that your “powers of dis- cernment” have been trained to dis- tinguish right from wrong? (Heb. 5: 14) Can you think of specific occa- sions when you resisted temptation or peer pressure? Does your con- duct at school speak well of your faith? Do you stand up for your faith rather than try to blend in with your classmates just to avoid ridicule? (1 Pet. 4:3, 4) Admittedly, no one is perfect. Even longtime servants of Jehovah may at times feel timid about taking a public stand for their faith. However, a person who is dedicated to Jehovah will right- ly be proud to bear God’s name, and he shows this by his conduct. w16.03 2:10, 11
