  ARE YOU ON THE ROAD TO EVERLASTING LIFE?

  Note to the speaker: Help Bible students and interested ones to understand why and how to make further spiritual progress.

  Emphasize the many sources of help available, and warmly encourage them to act without delay

  WHAT IS ‘THE ROAD TO LIFE’? (5 min.)

  Jehovah God offers to all the prospect of receiving everlasting life (Ro 6:23)

  Millions look forward to enjoying everlasting life in Paradise on earth, as God originally purposed

  Gaining life requires following a course different from the majority [Read Matthew 7:13, 14] (w09 8/1 3-4) The Bible reveals God’s requirements for gaining life (Joh 17:3; 1Jo 2:3; 5:3)

  God’s requirements are reasonable; they reflect his love and greatly benefit us

  HOW TO BEGINWALKING ON ‘THE ROAD TO LIFE’ (13 min.)

  Begin by building faith based on accurate Bible knowledge

  We need strong confidence in the Bible to choose a path contrary to the one followed by others around us

  If you are not fully convinced that the Bible is God’s Word, then examine the evidence (g 11/07 5-9)

  Use the Bible to examine your current beliefs carefully

  Jesus emphasized the need for our beliefs to be based on truth [Read John 4:23, 24]

  Like the apostle Paul, be willing to change your beliefs when presented with evidence (Ac 26:9-20)

  We may discern that in order to please God, we need to make changes in our personality or lifestyle

  As we draw close to Jehovah and grow in faith, we gain the power to make such changes [Read James 4:8]

  We put away habits and practices that God views as unclean (Ga 5:19-21; Eph 4:17-19)

  We put on “the new personality” by imitating Jehovah and Jesus (Eph 4:20-29; 5:1, 2)

  Many have successfully made dramatic changes (w15 5/1 10-11; w14 7/1 8-9)

  As we grow in knowledge and faith, we need to share in making disciples, as Jesus commanded (Mt 28:19, 20)

  To begin walking on ‘the road to life,’ we must dedicate ourselves to Jehovah and get baptized (Mt 16:24;

  1Pe 3:21)

  ‘THE ROAD TO LIFE’ IS NOT TOO DIFFICULT (7 min.)

  Our situation is similar to that of the nation of Israel when about to enter the Promised Land [Read

  Deuteronomy 30:11] (w09 11/1 31)

  ‘The road to life’ may appear to be restrictive but actually brings freedom and happiness (w06 10/1 8-10)

  Jehovah God provides the help we need to get on ‘the road to life’ and continue on it

  God invites us to pray to him and promises to help us in times of need (Ps 145:18; Isa 41:13)

  God gives us his holy spirit, which guides and strengthens us (Lu 11:10-13; w10 4/15 9 par. 11; 11 par. 15)

  At Christian meetings, we can find support and wholesome association (Heb 10:24, 25)

  CONTINUE TO MAKE SPIRITUAL PROGRESS (5 min.)

  Adjusting our lives to meet God’s requirements takes time and patience but is an urgent matter

  The blessings and joys of serving Jehovah make doing so worth our effort

  Do not be discouraged by obstacles or setbacks (Mr 4:26-29; w14 12/15 12-13 pars. 4-8)

  Do not be deceived by the false claims of happiness promoted by this world and its ruler (1Jo 2:17; 5:19)

  “The last days” of this system will not continue indefinitely (2Ti 3:1; 2Pe 3:4, 9, 10)

  Now is the time to accept God’s invitation to walk on ‘the road to life’

  Watch Tower Society owns web domains: www.MT2414.com and www.PS8318.com

  by Gilgamesh in

  2. beliefs

  (my apologies if this was already discussed somewhere else.).

  i noticed that the domain www.mt2414.com was taken, and when i tested it, it was a mirror of the log in portion of the www.jw.org site, where you can look up assemblies, kingdom halls, and make either one time or recurring donations.

  so i created an account there (you can use fake form information as long as it's a real email address for email verification).

  Evolutionists Who Are Against Darwinism

  by Perry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  this is a nice list of evolutionary scientists and their quotes regarding the impossibility of naturalism or materialism being able to account for life as it is observed :.

  evolutionists against darwinism.

  most, while sympathetic and respectful of their more committed colleagues, are disparaged as morons for not carrying the materialism banner as a religion, as a matter of faith.

  Vinman said: Love this commentary!! Yes, New Atheism equals new religion. Like I said before, their are two sides to every story. The one thing I learned in my 9 month exit from the Borg is that as soon as I read something that seemed reasonable and the person is trying to convince me of the truthfulness of his words, I would suddenly find many articles counteracting his arguments. One minute I'm being swept away into atheism, the next minute I'm totally engrossed in a scholarly discussion of how unique the Bible is from any religious book on all levels.

  I concur with you statement, what I don't like about people like Perry is the fact they try to push their worldvieww onto others. The decision to believe in a God or decide you need more proof, must be made by you and you alone. Take both sides of the argument and make a decision. Don't force others!

  You like to get into it Perry this is another attempt from your part to recruit people and follow your version of the messiah. What you fail to see is that evolution is not the answer to the origin of life itself, but a process that changes throughout time, it has no guidance nor it cares for the results. Your designer is suppose to have a purpose and a plan... well the results in human history proves this designer to be guilty of negligence and is the most sadistic, egomaniacal entity alive.
