A People Taught Jehovah's Way

Isaiah tells us more about those who embrace pure worship today.  He says:  "Many peoples will certainly go and say:  'Come, you people, and let us go to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of God of Jacob; and he will instruct us about his ways, and we will walk in his paths.'  For out of Zion law will go forth, and the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem." -Isaiah 2:3.

Jehovah does not let his people wander about like lost sheep.  Through the Bible and  Bible-based publications, he imparts to them his "law" and his  "word" so that  they lean his ways.  This knowledge equips them to "walk in his paths."  Out of hearts filled with appreciation and in harmony with divine direction, they speak to one another about the ways of Jehovah.  They gather together at large conventions and in smaller groups-At Kingdom Halls and in private homes-so as to listen to and learn the ways of God.  (Deuteronomy 31:12, 13)  Thus they imitate the pattern of  the early Christians, who met together to encourage and incite one another to abound in "love and fine works." -Hebrews 10:24, 25.

They invited others to "go up" to the exalted worship of Jehovah God.  How well this harmonizes with the command Jesus gave to his disciples just before his ascension  to heaven!  He told them:  "Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you."  (Matthew 28:19, 20)  With divine backing, Jehovah's Witnesses obediently go throughout the earth, teaching and making disciples, baptizing them.
