[Christ cleansed] for himself a people peculiarly his own, zealous for fine works.—Titus 2:14.

Who today make up “the righteous nation that is keeping faithful conduct,” acting as faithful Witnesses for Jehovah, and proclaiming his Kingdom as the only hope for humanity? (Isa. 26:2-4) Look at the churches of Christendom and other religions, and compare their conduct with what the Bible requires of God’s true servants. Millions of people throughout the world, including many young ones, have become convinced that the anointed remnant of Jehovah’s Witnesses constitute that “righteous nation.” They say to these spiritual Israelites: “We will go with you people, for we have heard that God is with you people.” (Zech. 8:23) We truly hope and pray that you young ones will decide to take your place among God’s people and thus “choose life”—life everlasting in Jehovah’s new world.—Deut. 30:15-20; 2 Pet. 3:11-13. w 7/1/06 18, 19a
