SERIOUS THINKERS REASON: DO YOU KNOW JEHOVAH! (Have you made yourself known to him?) As conditions deteriorate in Satan’s world, we need the help and protection that Jehovah gives to those who know him intimately. Thus, we should draw ever closer to God. We also need to reflect his fine qualities to have success in preaching the good news of His Kingdom. You might wonder, though, ‘How can a Christian get to know Jehovah. A Christian who knows Jehovah recognize Him as Universal Sovereign. By reading the Bible, the Christian comes to know how God treats others, and then he wants to imitate his heavenly Father. His love for Jehovah deepens as day by day he reflects God’s likes and dislikes. In contrast, a person who ignores God’s laws and reminders, thus rejecting any divine influence in his life, does not come to know the true God. Our success in sacred service and our prospects for life in the new world depend on our truly knowing Jehovah. (Jer. 9:24) Examine a few of God’s qualities as revealed in Jeremiah’s writings. During this consideration of God’s personality, look for ways that you personally can both know him and imitate him. What protection will there be for true Christians during the great tribulation? Rom. 10:13, RS: “Every one who calls upon the name of the Lord [“Jehovah,” NW] will be saved.” Zeph. 2:3, RS: “Seek the LORD [“Jehovah,” NW, AS, Yg, By], all you humble of the land, who do his commands; seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the wrath of the LORD.” (Also Isaiah 26:20)
