Stay Close to Jehovah -THE REAL LIFE

Jehovah wants all his friends to have the best life possible.  The Bible teaches us that our life in the future will be completely different from our life today.

In the future, we will live forever, not just for 70 or 80 years.  We will enjoy "everlasting life" in perfect health, peace, and happiness in a  beautiful paradise. That is what the Bible calls "the real life."  Jehovah promises to give us this real life, but we must do all we can now to get a "firm hold" on it. - 1 TIMOTHY 6:122, 19. 

How can we "get a firm hold on the real life"?  We must "work a good" and "be rich in fine works." (1 Timothy 6:18) b This means that we need to apply  what we learn from the Bible.  However, the real life doe snot depend on our own efforts. We can never earn eternal life.  It's a free gift from Jehovah  to his faithful servants, an example of his "undeserved  kindness." (Romans 5:15)   Our heavenly Father really wants us to give his faithful servants this gift.

Ask yourself, 'Am I worshipping God the way he approves? '  If you find that you need to make some changes, you should do so right away.  When we rely on Jehovah and do everything we can to obey him, Jehovah will be our refuse.  He will keep his faithful people safe during the last days of Satan's wicked world.  Then Jehovah will make sure that we live in Paradise forever, just as he promised .  Yes, you can have the real life if you make the right choices now!
