Do You Recognize the Truth? -HOW WE CAN HOLD FAST TO THE TRUTH

Maintain confidence in theocratic direction. In ancient Israel, Jehovah used Moses and then Joshua to convey instructions to His people. (Joshua 1 :16, 17) The Israelites were blessed when they viewed these men as representatives of Jehovah God. Centuries later when the Christian congregation was first formed, the 12 apostles gave direction. (Acts 8:14, 15) Then that group was expanded to include other elders in Jerusalem. By following the guidance received from those faithful men, "the congregations continued to be made firm in the faith and to increase in number day by day." (Acts 16:4, 5) In modern times, we too are blessed when we follow theocratic direction from Jehovah's organization. But how would Jehovah feel if we were to refuse to recognize what happened when the Israelites were being led to the Promised Land.
