Reply:In our day, the mysteries are to unfold





Since time immemorial, man has sought for answers to the mysteries of life. Who am I? What is the meaning of life? What is the purpose of life on Earth? Is there really life after death? What are the conditions of that life? And how do we secure it for ourselves?





Why is there so much suffering in the world? Why poverty, injustice, famine, war, disease and death? Why me? Where is the love of God? Every thinking man comes to ask himself these questions.





In answer, Jesus Christ spoke to the men of his time. He revealed the answers to all these questions and more; but because the people were not ready, he was largely misunderstood and misinterpreted. And much of the resulting confusion still exists even into our day and age.





However, we don’t have to remain ignorant and confused. We need only to go back to first principles, to the original answers given by Christ and then, work forward from there, in order to transcend all the conflicting interpretations and see things as they really are. But this time, instead of embracing half-truths and blind teachings, we should be discriminating and wise, guided more by the dictates of reason in the light of our vastly superior wealth of personal experiences.





‘The Message Made Plain’ is a study course that precisely brings back into focus the actual words and teachings of Jesus Christ to enable the student to start afresh without having to contend too much with the misguided and confusing interpretations of mere followers.





As you go through the course, many things will clarify themselves to you. You should be able to realize the answers to all your important questions about life and death.





In Lesson 1, you will come to realize your urgent need to further your spiritual studies and prepare for eternal life. In Lesson 2, you will learn all about the person of Jesus and come to know him intimately. He refutes many of the old beliefs and teachings which still persist even today in Lesson 3. In Lesson 4, he explains why we need to live right in the sight of God.





The reasons for suffering and the way whereby Heaven can be attained are taken up in Lesson 5. Lesson 6 puts forward for our consideration, a more practical approach to life and includes a discussion of the underlying rational bases behind his spiritual teachings. And finally, all you need to know about life hereafter are discussed in Lesson 7.





You really can’t afford to pass up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It’s like having a private audience with the Lord where he reveals to you the secrets of his kingdom.





The question is: Are you now ready for him?

Reply:The right Bible study for you depends on your spiritual maturity. To start you want to get the big picture. On the Bible study page at my source there is a good study on that. As you mature in the faith, it is best to rely less on outside materials and more on simply reading GODs' word and letting Him talk to you.

Reply:Jehovah’s Servants Reveal the Truth





Of course, others besides Jehovah’s Witnesses may tell the truth and try to be honest. However, as servants of God, we have a particularly great responsibility to uphold what is true. We have been entrusted with Bible truths—truths that can lead one to everlasting life. Hence, we have an obligation to share that knowledge with others. “Everyone to whom much was given,” said Jesus, “much will be demanded of him.” (Luke 12:48) Certainly ‘much is demanded’ of those who have been blessed with the precious knowledge of God.





There is happiness in imparting Bible truth to others. Like Jesus’ first-century disciples, we declare the good news—a heartwarming message of hope—to those “skinned and thrown about like sheep without a shepherd” and to those blinded and confused by “teachings of demons.” (Matthew 9:36; 1 Timothy 4:1) The apostle John wrote: “No greater cause for thankfulness do I have than these things, that I should be hearing that my children go on walking in the truth.” (3 John 4) The faithfulness of John’s “children”—perhaps those he introduced to the truth—brought him great joy. It brings joy to us when we see people respond with appreciation to the Word of God.





Granted, not all will accept the truth. Jesus spoke the truth about God, even when it was unpopular to do so. To Jewish opposers he said: “Why is it you do not believe me? He that is from God listens to the sayings of God. This is why you do not listen, because you are not from God.”—John 8:46, 47.





We, like Jesus, do not hold back from telling the precious truth about Jehovah. We do not expect everyone to accept what we tell them, for not all accepted what Jesus said. Nevertheless, we have the joy of knowing that we are doing what is right. Jehovah in his loving-kindness wants the truth to be revealed to humankind. As possessors of truth, Christians become light bearers in a bedarkened world. By letting the light of truth shine through our words and deeds, we can help others to give glory to our heavenly Father. (Matthew 5:14, 16) We publicly make known that we reject Satan’s counterfeit version of the truth and uphold the pure and unadulterated Word of God. The truth that we know and share can impart true freedom to those who accept it.—John 8:32.
