Worship Exalted in th Lives of People

Jehovah deserves all credit for the elevating of pure worship in our time.  Still, those who approach him are privileged to share in this work.  Just as it requires effort to climb a mountain, so, too, it requires effort to learn of and live according to God's righteous standards.  Like Christians in the first century, God's  servants today have left behind life-styles and practices that are not compatible with true worship.  Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, thieves, greedy persons, drunkards, and others have changed their ways and been "washed clean" in God's sight. -1 Corinthians 6:9-11.

Typical is the experience of one young woman who wrote:  "I once was lost with no hope.  I lived a life of immorality and drunkenness.  I had sexual diseases. I also sold drugs and just didn't care about anything."  After studying the Bible, she made major changes in order to conform to God's standards.  Now she says:  "I enjoy peace of mind, self-respect, a hope for the future, a real family and, best of all, a relationship with our Father, Jehovah.

Even after coming to an approved standing before Jehovah, all must continue to elevate pure worship by giving it a place of prominence in their lives.  Thousands of years ago, through Isaiah, Jehovah expressed his confidence  that there would be multitudes today eager to make his worship the most important thing in their lives.  Are you among them?
