In the same way, if a brother makes an effort to cultivate Christian qualities to be able to serve as a Ministerial Servant or congregation elder, the others will be his effort, which can be an inspiring model that benefits other brothers.

We have another example in the brothers who make an effort to serve in the construction and renovation of the kingdom and assembly halls, since these brothers need our encouragement and the help that we can offer them. However, to give him this encouragement and support, we must first strive to progress spiritually. In addition, when we do this we are also encouraging other brothers to do the same, and consequently everyone in the congregation will grow spiritually.

In addition, if we strive to cultivate qualities, we could end up having Service Privileges. And our brothers will benefit from our efforts, and this too if we volunteer on construction sites.

We know that our brothers need a lot of encouragement, they need all the help we can give them, that is why we have to continue making an effort to progress spiritually. In addition, striving to achieve goals is a way of encouraging others to do the same.

Hebrews 5:14-6:1

This text shows how someone can become a mature Christian, which does not happen automatically. But more it consists of advancing to progress continuously. And the result of this spiritual maturity benefits us, because then we are able to distinguish what is right from what is wrong and in this way we can make good decisions in our lives.
