What Is the Truth About Jehovah?

Conclusion of CAN YOU BE CLOSE TO HIM?

You will come to understand why the Bible teaches us to think of Jehovah as our Father.  (Matthew 6:9) Not only does our life come from him but he wants the best life possible for us-just as any loving father would want for his children.  (Psalm 36:9) The Bible also teaches that humans can become Jehovah's friends.  (James 2:23) Imagine-you can become a friend of the Creator of the universe!

As you learn more from the Bible, you may find that some well-meaning people will urge you to stop such studies.  They may worry that you will change your beliefs.  But do no let anyone stop you from forming the best friendship you can ever have.

Of course, there will be things that you do not understand at first.  It can be a little humbling to ask for help, but do not hold back because of embarrassment. Jesus said that it is good to be humble, like a little child.  (Matthew 18:2-4)  And children, as we know, ask a lot of questions. God wants you to find the answers. The Bible praises some who were eager to learn about God.  They checked carefully in the Scriptures to make sure that  what they were learning was the truth. -Acts 17:11.

The best way to learn about Jehovah is to examine the Bible.  It is different from any other book. In what way?  The next chapter will consider that subject.
