A Name That Is Distinctive

Who today really fulfill these ten requirements of true worship?  Who are known and recognized by others for their record of integrity and peacefulness? Around the globe Jehovah's Witnesses are noted for being "no part of the world." (neither am I)  (John 15:19; 17:14;, 16; 18:36) Jehovah's people are honored to bear his name and to be his Witnesses, even as Jesus Christ was a faithful witness to his Father.  We bear that holy name, conscious of our responsibility to live up to what it represents. And as his Witnesses, what  a glorious prospect lies before us!  That is to be part of an obedient, united human family, worshiping the Universal Sovereign in a restored  paradise here on earth.  To receive such a blessing, let us continue  to identify ourselves clearly with true worship and to bear the name of Jehovah's Witnesses proudly "because his judgments are true and righteous"! -Revelation 19:2; Isaiah 43:10-12; Ezekiel 3:11.
