Something Better Than Protest

In addition to showing consideration And love for their fellowmen, these former vandals have learned to "hate what is bad."  (Psalm 97:10;  Matthew 7:12)  what about you?  Even if you are just one who suffers from the effects of widespread vandalism, a study of God's Word will make Jehovah real to you as a lovingly heavenly Father who wants to care for you.  (1 Peter 5:6, 7)  God can help you to grow spiritually, despite personal weaknesses or poverty.   That in itself is a marvelous experience!

Jehovah and his Son, Jesus Christ, truly want all kinds of people to have the opportunity to learn Bible truth.  God's Word can do more than help individuals to stop being vandals right now.  It can motivate them to make further progress in applying divine principles. As a result, they become members of an international brotherhood known for cleanness and good manners, the worldwide congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.   In harmony  with Ephesians 4:24, these sincere Christians have "put on the new personality which was created according  to God's will in true righteousness and loyalty."  Soon the world  will be filled with such people because these will be the only ones who will survive and live forever. -Compare Luke 23:43.
