Stay Close to Jehovah - TALKING TO OTHERS ABOUT JEHOVAH

If we want to remain close to Jehovah, we also need to talk to others about our faith. Talking to others about Jehovah is a wonderful privilege.  (Luke 1: 74)  And it's a responsibility that Jesus gave to all true Christians.  Each of us should preach the good news of God's Kingdom. Have you already done this? -MATTHEW  24:14; 28:19, 20.

The apostle Paul felt that the preaching work was very precious; he called it a "treasure."  (2 Corinthians 4:7)  Telling others about Jehovah and his purpose is the most important work that you can do.  It's a way for you to serve Jehovah, and he values what you do for him. (Hebrew 6:10)  Preaching can also benefit you and those who listen to you because you help others and yourself to draw close to Jehovah and get everlasting life.  (Read 1 Corinthians 15:58)  Is there any other work that could give you more satisfaction? 

The preaching work is very urgent. We should "preach the world,"  and we should "be at it urgently."   (2 Timothy 4:2)   People need to hear about God's Kingdom. The Bible says:  "The Bible says:  "The great day of Jehovah is near!  It is near and approaching very quickly!"   The end "will not be late!"  (Zephaniah 1:14; Habakkuk 2:3)  Yes, very soon, Jehovah will destroy Satan's wicked world.  Before that happens, people need to be warned so that they can choose to serve Jehovah. 

Jehovah want us to worship him along with other true Christians.  The Bible says:  "Let us consider one another so as to incite to love and fine works, not forsaking  our meeting together, as some have the custom, but encouraging one another, and all the more so as you see the day drawing near." (Hebrews 10:24, 25)  We should  do our best to be at all meetings.  The meetings  give us an opportunity to encourage and strengthen one another.

When you attend meetings, you'll find good friends who will help you  to worship Jehovah. You'll meet a variety of brothers and sisters who, like you , do their best to worship him. And like you, they're imperfect and make mistakes.  When they do, be ready to forgive them.  (Read Colossians 3:13)   Always focus on the good qualities of your Christian brothers and sisters, for doing that will help you to love them and draw even closer to Jehovah.
