What Is the Good News About Religion?

3. What should sincere people do?

Jehovah cares about people who love what is true and good. He urges them to leave false religion behind.  People who love god are willing to make changes to please him. -Read Revelation 18:4. 

In the first century, when sincere people heard the good news from the apostles, they responded with joy.  They learned a new way of life from Jehovah, a happier way of life with a purpose and a hope. They  are a good example for us today because they responded to the good news by putting Jehovah first in their lives. -Read 1 Thessalonians 1:8, 9; 2:13. 

Jehovah welcomes into his family of worshippers those who turn away from false religion. If you accept Jehovah's warm invitation, you will receive his friendship, a new and loving family of fellow worshippers of Jehovah, and everlasting life. -Read Mark 10:29, 30; 2 Corinthians  6:17, 18.  

4. How Will God bring joy to every land?

The coming judgment of false religion is good news. It will bring worldwide relief from oppression. Never again will false religion mislead and divide mankind. Everyone living will be united in worship of the only true God. -Read Revelation 18:20; 21:3, 4.
