(Hebrews 11:4–12:1) For example, way back, God told his people: “You are my witnesses.” (Read Isaiah 43:10.) Jesus is call “the Faithful Witness.” (Revelation 1:5) So in 1931, we took the name Jehovah Witnesses. We happy to use that name.
3. How Jehovah Witnesses can follow Jesus example in showing love?
Jesus love his disciples so much that they were just like family to him. (Read Mark 3:35.) That the same way, Jehovah Witnesses all over the world together just like one big family.

(Philemon 1, 2) We can also obey the command: “Have love for the whole association of brothers.” (1 Peter 2:17) Jehovah Witnesses can show this love in plenty different ways. For example, we can help our brother them around the world who need help.
