Keep Working Toward Baptism - WHY KEEP THE END CLOSE IN MIND

 In addition to the reasons mentioned above, some might delay making spiritual progress because they reason that there is plenty of time before the end. But is that a reasoning sound? Jesus warned his disciples: "Keep ready, because at an hour that you do not think likely, the Son of man is coming." - LUKE 12:40. 

Our dedication to Jehovah must be motivated by love. The more we come to know our loving God, the more we are moved to live his commands and to follow them as soon as they are brought to our attention. (Read Psalm 119:60.)  The disciple James highlighted another vital reason to obey Jehovah's commands promptly: None of us knows what tomorrow will bring. We may not even have one more day "to what is right," so we should act now on what we know. - JAMES 4:13-17.
