Messenger Wisdom K. Ahiadu Teach to the Akatsi Head of Winner's Harvest Gate Ministry
Are altogether religions satisfying to God?
How might we recognize the genuine religion?
Who are God's actual admirers on earth today?
1. In what capacity will we advantage in the event that we revere God in the correct manner?
JEHOVAH GOD profoundly thinks about us and needs us to profit by his cherishing course. In the event that we revere him in the correct manner, we will be cheerful and will maintain a strategic distance from numerous issues throughout everyday life. We will likewise have his approval and his assistance. (Isaiah 48:17) There are, in any case, many religions that guarantee to show the reality of God. However, they contrast incredibly in their lessons about what god's identity is and what he expects of us.
2. How might we gain proficiency with the correct method to revere Jehovah, and what delineation encourages us to get this?
2 How would you be able to realize the correct method to love Jehovah? You don't need to study and look at the lessons of all the numerous religions. You need just realize what the Bible truly educates about obvious love. To outline: In numerous terrains, there is an issue with fake cash. On the off chance that you were given the activity of selecting such false cash, how might you go about it? By remembering each sort of fake? No. Your time would be better spent in the event that you contemplated genuine cash. After you realized what genuine cash resembled, you could perceive a fake. Essentially, when we figure out how to distinguish the genuine religion, we can perceive those religions that are false.
3. As per Jesus, what must we would in the event that we like to have God's endorsement?
3 It is significant that we revere Jehovah in the manner that he endorses. Numerous individuals accept that all religions are satisfying to God, however, the Bible does not instruct that. It isn't even enough just to profess to be a Christian. Jesus stated: "Not every person saying to me, 'Master, Lord,' will go into the Kingdom of the sky, however just the one doing the desire of my Father who is in the sky will." To have God's endorsement, hence, we should realize what God expects of us and do it. Jesus called the individuals who don't do God's will "laborers of wilderness." (Matthew 7:21-23) Like fake cash, false religion has no genuine worth. Far and away more terrible, such religion is really destructive.
4. What do Jesus' words concerning the two streets mean, and where does every street lead?
4 Jehovah offers everybody on earth the chance to increase everlasting life. To have unceasing life in Paradise, in any case, we should adore God appropriately and live now in a manner that is satisfactory to him. Unfortunately, many won't do as such. That is the reason Jesus stated: "Go in through the limited entryway, since expansive is the door and extensive is the street opening into annihilation, and many are going in through it; while tight is the door and cramped the street beginning into life, and few are discovering it." (Matthew 7:13, 14) True religion prompts everlasting life. False religion prompts annihilation. Jehovah does not need any human to be demolished, and that is the reason he is allowing individuals wherever a chance to find out about him. (2 Peter 3:9) Really, at that point, the manner in which we love God implies either the last chance for us.
The most effective method to IDENTIFY THE TRUE RELIGION
5. How might we perceive the individuals who practice the genuine religion?
5 How can 'the way to life' be found? Jesus said that the genuine religion would be clear in the lives of the individuals who practice it. "By their natural products you will remember them," he said. "Each great tree creates fine organic products." (Matthew 7:16, 17) as it were, the individuals who practice the genuine religion would be perceived by their convictions and their lead. Despite the fact that they are not impeccable and they commit errors, genuine admirers as a gathering look to do God's will. Give us a chance to consider six highlights that recognize the individuals who practice genuine religion.
6, 7. How do God's workers see the Bible, and how did Jesus set the model in such a manner?
6 God's hirelings base their lessons on the Bible. The Bible itself says: "All Scripture is roused of God and gainful for educating, for denouncing, for sorting things out, for training in exemplary nature, with the goal that the man [or woman] of God might be completely able, totally prepared for each great work." (2 Timothy 3:16, 17) To his kindred Christians, the messenger Paul expressed: "When you got God's statement, which you got notification from us, you acknowledged it not as the expression of men but rather, similarly as it honestly maybe, as the expression of God." (1 Thessalonians 2:13) Hence, convictions and practices of the genuine religion are not founded on human perspectives or custom. They begin in God's propelled Word, the Bible.
7 Jesus Christ set the correct model by putting together his lessons with respect to God's Word. In the petition to his wonderful Father, he stated: "Your pledge is the truth." (John 17:17) Jesus accepted the Word of God, and all that he showed blended with the Scriptures. Jesus frequently stated: "It is composed." (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10) Then Jesus would cite a sacred writing. Also, God's kin today don't show their own thoughts. They accept that the Bible is God's Word, and they base their lessons immovably on what it says.
8. What is associated with adoring Jehovah?
8 Those who practice the genuine religion venerate just Jehovah and make his name known. Jesus pronounced: "It is Jehovah your God you should love, and it is to only him you should render holy support." (Matthew 4:10) Thus, God's workers venerate nobody other than Jehovah. This love incorporates telling individuals what the name of the genuine God is and what he resembles. Hymn 83:18 states: "You, whose name is Jehovah, only you are the Most High over all the earth." Jesus set the example in helping other people to become acquainted with God, as he said in supplication: "I have made your name show to the men whom you gave me out of the world." (John 17:6) Similarly, genuine admirers, today show others God's name, his motivations, and his characteristics.
9, 10. In what ways do genuine Christians show love for each other?
9 God's kin show real, unselfish love for each other. Jesus stated: "By this, all will realize that you are my disciples—in the event that you have love among yourselves." (John 13:35) The early Christians had such love for each other. Faithful love defeats racial, social, and national obstructions and attracts individuals together with an unbreakable obligation of genuine fellowship. (Peruse Colossians 3:14.) Members of false religions don't have such an adoring fraternity. How would we realize that? They slaughter each other in view of national or ethnic contrasts. Genuine Christians don't take up weapons to execute their Christian siblings or any other individual. The Bible expresses: "The offspring of God and the offspring of the Devil are obvious by this reality: Whoever does not rehearse honorableness does not begin with God, nor does the person who does not cherish his sibling. . . . We should love each; dislike Cain, who started with the underhanded one and butchered his brother."—1 John 3:10-12; 4:20, 21.
10 obviously, real love implies more than not executing others. Genuine Christians unselfishly utilize their time, vitality, and assets to help and energize each other. (Hebrews 10:24, 25) They help each other in the midst of misery, and they manage others. Truth be told, they apply in their lives the Bible advice to "work what is great toward all."—Galatians 6:10.
11. For what reason is it essential to acknowledge Jesus Christ as God's methods for salvation?
11 True Christians acknowledge Jesus Christ as God's method for salvation. The Bible says: "There is no salvation in any other individual, for there is no other name under paradise that has been given among men by which we should get spared." (Acts 4:12) As we found in Chapter 5, Jesus gave his life as a payoff for dutiful people. (Matthew 20:28) what's more, Jesus is God's named King in the great Kingdom that will govern the whole earth. What's more, God necessitates that we obey Jesus and apply his lessons on the off chance that we need everlasting life. That is the reason the Bible expresses: "The person who activities confidence in the Son has everlasting life; the person who resists the Son won't see life."—John 3:36.
12. What does being no piece of the world include?
12 True admirers are no piece of the world. At the point when on preliminary before the Roman ruler Pilate, Jesus stated: "My Kingdom is no piece of this world." (John 18:36) No issue what nation they live in, Jesus' actual devotees are subjects of his magnificent Kingdom and in this way keep up exacting lack of bias on the planet's political undertakings. They take no part in its contentions. Nonetheless, Jehovah's admirers don't meddle with what others do about joining an ideological group, pursuing the position, or casting a ballot. And keeping in mind that God's actual admirers are nonpartisan in regards to legislative issues, they are well behaved. Why? Since God's Word directions them to "be in subjection" to the administrative "unrivaled experts." (Romans 13:1) Where there is a contention between what God requires and what a political framework requires, genuine admirers, pursue the case of the missionaries, who stated: "We should obey God as ruler as opposed to men."—Acts 5:29; Mark 12:17.
13. How do Jesus' actual devotees see God's Kingdom, and in this manner, what move do they make?
13 Jesus' actual adherents lecture that God's Kingdom is humankind's just trust. Jesus anticipated: "This uplifting news of the Kingdom will be lectured in all the occupied earth for an observer to every one of the countries, and after that, the end will come." (Matthew 24:14) Instead of urging individuals to look to human rulers to take care of their issues, genuine adherents of Jesus Christ declare God's grand Kingdom as the main trust in humankind. (Song 146:3) Jesus instructed us to petition God for that ideal government when he stated: "Let your Kingdom come. Give your will a chance to happen, as in paradise, additionally on earth." (Matthew 6:10)God's Word prognosticated this superb Kingdom "will squash and put a conclusion to every one of these kingdoms [now existing], and only it will stand forever."—Daniel 2:44; Revelation 16:14; 19:19-21.
14. What religious gathering do you accept meets the prerequisites for genuine love?
14 based on what we have recently considered, ask yourself: 'What religious gathering puts together the entirety of its lessons with respect to the Bible and makes known Jehovah's name? What gathering rehearses genuine love, practices confidence in Jesus, is no piece of the world and broadcasts that God's Kingdom is the main genuine trust in humanity? Of all the religious gatherings on earth, which one meets every one of these necessities?' The realities obviously demonstrate that it is Jehovah's Witnesses.—Read Isaiah 43:10-12.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
15. What does God require notwithstanding accepting that he exists?
15 Simply having faith in God isn't sufficient to satisfy him. All things considered, the Bible says that even the evil spirits accept that God exists. (James 2:19) Obviously, however, they don't do God's will and don't have his endorsement. To be endorsed by God, not exclusively should we have confidence in his reality yet we should likewise do his will. We should likewise break free from false religion and grasp genuine love.
16. What ought to be done about partaking in a false religion?
16 The witness Paul demonstrated that we should not partake in false revere. He composed: "'Get out from among them, and separate yourselves,' says Jehovah, 'and quit contacting the unclean thing'; 'and I will take you in.'" (2 Corinthians 6:17; Isaiah 52:11) True Christians accordingly abstain from whatever is associated with false revere.
17, 18. What is "Babylon the Great," and for what reason is it earnest to "escape her"?
17 The Bible demonstrates that all the numerous types of false religions are a piece of "Babylon the Great." * (Revelation 17:5) That name brings to mind the old city of Babylon, where false religion fired up after the Flood of Noah's day. Numerous lessons and practices now regular in false religion started quite a while in the past in Babylon. For instance, the Babylonians loved trinities, or sets of three, of divine beings. Today, the focal principle of numerous religions is the Trinity. Yet, the Bible plainly instructs that there is just one genuine God, Jehovah and that Jesus Christ is his Son. (John 17:3) The Babylonians additionally accepted that people have an everlasting soul that endures the body after death and can endure in a position of torment. Today, confidence in the undying soul or soul that can endure in hellfire is instructed by generally religions.
18 Since old Babylonian love spread all through the earth, cutting edge Babylon the Great can appropriately be recognized as the world domain of false religion. Also, God has anticipated that this realm of false religion will arrive at an unexpected end. Do you see why it is indispensable that you separate yourself from all aspects of Babylon the Great? Jehovah God needs you to "escape her" rapidly while there is still time.—Read Revelation 18:4, 8.

What's more, you will have the magnificent desire for everlasting life "in the coming arrangement of things." (Read Mark 10:28-30.) Perhaps, in time, the individuals who surrendered you due to your convictions will investigate what the Bible educates and become admirers of Jehovah.
20. What does the future hold for the individuals who practice the genuine religion?
20 The Bible encourages that God will before long finish this fiendish arrangement of things and will supplant it with an equitable new world under the rulership of his kingdom.

Is it not the course of insight for you to find a way to come into a relationship with genuine admirers at the present time?
