Conclusion of "The Real Life" Is A Certainty-Grasp It!

Understanding Bible prophecies, we now see the approach of "the great day of God the Almighty," during which the earth will be cleansed of all wickedness. (Revelation 16:14, 16) Like faithful men of old, we must remain in confident expectation of future events, motivated by faith as well as by love for God and for "the real life." The nearness of the new world provides a strong incentive for those who exercise faith in Jehovah and who love him. Such faith and love need to be cultivated in order to gain God's favor and protection during his great day, which is at hand. -Zephaniah 2:3; 2Thessalonians 1:3; Hebrews 10:37-39.

So, do you love life? And do you desire even more "the real life"-life as an approved servant of God, with the prospect of a happy future, yes, with eternal life in view? If that is what you seek, heed the exhortation of the apostle Paul, who wrote that we should 'rest our hope, not on uncertain riches, but on God.' Paul continued: "Be rich in fine works," which honor God, so as to "get a firm hold on the real life." -1 Timothy 6:17-19.

By accepting the offer of a Bible study with Jehovah's Witnesses, you can acquire knowledge that "means everlasting life." (John 17:3) Lovingly, the Bible records this fatherly invitation to all: "My Son, my law do not forget, and my commandments may your heart observer, because length of days and years of life and peace will be added to you." -Proverbs 3:1, 2.
