They na work hard to leave their bad ways. (Rom. 12:2; Eph. 4:​22-24) That true, God people not perfect, so we will continue to make mistakes. Jehovah na bring “different-different people” together who love him and in peace with one another. (Titus 2:11) That only the almighty God can perform this miracle!

14. How Isaiah 65:25 came true in one brother life?

He was violent and living all kind na immoral life. They put him in jail for stealing car, stealing from people house, and other serious crimes. He was always ready to fight anybody. When he first learn the truth from the Bible and started attending meetings with Jehovah Witnesses, he was convince that worshipping Jehovah in the spiritual paradise give him reason to continue living. After he got baptize, most of the time he use to think on how he can apply Isaiah 65:25. He change from being violent person to peaceful person.

(Ps. 72:7) Because of that, we want help plenty people to join us in our Christian brotherhood. We can do it by focusing on helping people to come serve Jehovah.—Matt. 28:​19, 20.

¹⁶ All of us get important part to play in making the spiritual paradise encouraging to other people. We can do it if we follow Jehovah example. He can’t force  people to be part of his organization. Instead, he kindly “draw” them to himself. (John 6:44; Jer. 31:3) People with good heart who learn about Jehovah good-good ways na draw close to him. How our good ways can encourage people to come join the spiritual paradise?

17. How we can encourage people to come join us in the spiritual paradise?

¹⁷ One way we can encourage people to come join us in the spiritual paradise, that by treating our brothers and sisters with love and kindness. When somebody come to our congregation meetings for the first time, we want them to feel the same way the people in Corinth was feeling when they attend the meetings in Corinth way back. They say: “God is really among you.” (1 Cor. 14:​24, 25; Zech. 8:23) So let continue following the advice to “be in peace with one another.”—1 Thess. 5:13.

18. Wetin can encourage people about our organization?

¹⁸ We must always try to see our Christian brothers and sisters the same way Jehovah see them. We can do it by focusing on their good-good ways instead of the small-small mistakes they can make. We can settle our problems with love by always being “kind to one another, tenderly compassionate, freely forgiving one another.” (Eph. 4:32) Then the spiritual paradise will encourage people who want people to treat them the same way. b
