Why is this course of such great value? First, it brings happiness and contentmewnt now. Second, and far more important, it provides Jehovah's protection through the impending time of trouble. The Bible's prophecies refer to our day. They warn that ours is earth's most crucial period when the "accomplished end" of Satan's wicked rule is at hand. (Matthew 24:14, NW) The graft, violence, insecurity and worry are so evident today are soon to be abolished. They will cease and righteous conditions will replace them. God has promised: "I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind." Would you like to live under those conditions? Then follow the instructions of God's Word and receive his favor, because "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth does change , and though the mountains be shaken into the ehart of the seas." - ISAIAH 65:17; PSALM 46:1, 2, AS.
Thus, following the Bible's principles will improve your family life, will help you to raise better children and to have a more peaceful, contented mind. Further, you will see that Christ's ransom makes it possible for you to benefit from God's provisions, but that to accept that ransom you must take a positive course of action, must assemble with other Christians and participate with them in God's service. So, study God's Word, learn how it will benefit you and what is exprected of you. Then follow its sound principles and obey its righteous instructions. Doing so is of vital importance, because it means your very life!
