"Your works are wonderful, as my soul is very well aware."
Psalm 139:14

The religions of Christendom generally claim to believe the Bible. However, they fail to agree on what it teaches. How different their condition is from that of Jehovah’s servants! Regardless of our national, cultural, or ethnic background, we worship the God we know by name. He is not some mysterious triune god. (Deut. 6:4; Ps. 83:18; Mark 12:29) We are also aware that the paramount issue of God’s universal sovereignty is due for settlement and that by maintaining our integrity to him, each one of us is personally involved in that issue. We know the truth about the dead and are free of the morbid fear of a God who is said to torment humans in hellfire or consign them to purgatory. (Eccl. 9:5, 10) Moreover, what a joy it is to know that we are not an accidental product of blind evolution! Rather, we are God’s creation, made in his own image.—Gen. 1:26; Mal. 2:10. w 5/15/06 4, 5a
