WHY JEHOVAH DESERVES OUR WORSHIP - Conclusion

 As the Creator and the Sovereign of the universe, Jehovah could force people to serve him.  However, Jehovah will never do that. Instead, he provides us with evidence that he exists and that he loves each one of us dearly. He wants as many people as possible to be his friends forever. (1 Timothy 2:3, 4) To that end, Jehovah has trained us to teach others about his purposes and to tell them the good things he will do for mankind. (Matthew 10:11-13; 28:19, 20) He has organized us into congregations and has arranged for loving overseers to care for us. -ACTS 20:28.

Jehovah's remarkable love in evident in the way he treats those who choose to ignore his existence. Consider these facts: Throughout history, billions of people have chosen to live by their own standards of right and wrong. Even so. Jehovah has kindly given them what they need to sustain their life and enjoy it.  (Matthew 5:44, 45; Acts 14:16, 17) He has given them the capacity to have loving relationships, to raise a family and to reap; the rewards of hard work. (Psalm 127:3; Ecclesiastes 2:24) The evidence clearly shows that our heavenly Father loves all humans. (Exodus 34:6) Let us now remind ourselves of some of the reasons why we choose to serve Jehovah and how he responds to us.
