"DRAWING NEAR TO GOD" GIVES US PURPOSE AND HOPE

 Drawing near to God is good for us in two important ways. First, it gives us a fulfilling purpose in life. Second, it gives us a solid hope for the future. (Jeremiah 29:11) Let us examine these benefits more closely.

Drawing close to Jehovah gives our life purpose. Many today who deny God's existence think that life has no meaning and that eventually the human race will cease to exist. However, from our study of God's Word, we have become convinced that God "is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him." (Hebrews 11:6) Even today, we live happier lives because we are doing what we were designed to do-serve our heavenly Father, Jehovah. - DEUTERONOMY 10:12, 13.
