The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life -Grand Blessings From God Near at Hand!

 DO YOU want to live in peace and happiness? Do you desire good health and long life for yourself and your loved ones? Do you long to see wickedness and suffering end! Every honest-hearted person wants these things. But today, in all parts of the earth, violence, crime, hunger and sickness are increasing. Why is the world so filled with trouble? What does it all mean? Is there any sound reason to believe that conditions will really get better in our lifetime? 

Yes, there is a reason for such hope, and it is clearly set out in a book that is published in more languages than any other book in the world. That book is the Bible. It tells us of God's purpose to set up and entirely new system of things for mankind. If you had the power to do so, would you not bring to an end the conditions that cause so much sorrow? Of course you would! Should we think that the Creator of mankind will do any less? The Bible tells us that God is love. (1 John 4:8) Surely this heavenly Father knows what mankind needs. He has the power to fill those needs, and will most certainly do so, for Psalm 145:16 says of God: "You are opening your hand and satisfying the desire of every living thing." -  See also DEUTERONOMY 32:4. 

When will God satisfy man's desire for true peace and happiness along with lasting health and life? Must mankind wait for thousands of years more? No! The time is near at hand! But how can this be? Conditions in the world are getting worse, not better. True, but the Bible clearly showed, long in advance, that these very conditions would be proof that we are living in the "last days" of the present system. (2 Timothy 3:1-5) Soon the loving Creator will bring to their end both wickedness and those who cause it. But God will richly bless honest-hearted ones who want to do what is right, for he promises: "The world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever." - 1 JOHN 2:17.
