Conclusion of How Can You Recognize True Worship?

True Christians preach about God's Kingdom.  God sent Jesus to preach the good news of the Kingdom. God's Kingdom is the only hope for mankind. Jesus continued speaking about it until his dying day.  (Luke 4:43; 8:1, 23, 42, 43)   He said that his followers would preach about it. If someone approaches you to speak about God's Kingdom, to which religion does he likely belong? -Read Matthew 24:14.

Jesus followers are no part of this wicked world. You can recognize them by the way they take no part in politics or social conflicts.  (John 17:16; 18:36) Also, they do not imitate the world's harmful practices and attitudes. -Read James 4:4. 

True Christians have outstanding love for one another.  From God's Word, they learn to respect all ethnic groups. Although false religions have often strongly supported the wars of the nations, true worshippers refuse to do so.  (Micah 4:1-3)  Rather, true Christians unselfishly use their time and resources to help and encourage others. -Read John 13:34, 35;  1 John 4:20. 

4. Can you identify the true religion?  

Which religion bases all its teachings on God's Word, honors God's name, and proclaims  God's Kingdom as mankind's only hope? Which group practices love and shuns war? What do you think? -Read 1 John 3:10-12.
