15. The Right Way to Worship God

1 HOW TO RECOGNIZE TRUE WORSHIP

“Narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it.”​—Matthew 7:14

How do we know that God does not accept all kinds of worship?

  • Matthew 7:21-23

    God does not accept all religions. Not all religions do God’s will.

  • Matthew 7:13, 14

    True worship leads to eternal life. False religion leads to eternal destruction.

  • Matthew 7:16, 17

    You can recognize true worship by its works. You do not have to study all religions; just study what the Bible says.

2 THE RIGHT WAY TO WORSHIP GOD

3 YOU NEED TO ACT ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE

What must you do if you want God to accept your worship?

  • James 2:19

    It is not enough just to believe in God. You need to do what he says in the Bible.

  • Isaiah 52:11; Revelation 17:5

    False religion, or “Babylon the Great,” teaches people to worship God in a way that he does not accept. False religious teachings include the Trinity, the immortality of the soul, and hellfire.

  • Revelation 18:4, 8

    Jehovah will soon destroy all false religion. You need to reject anything that has to do with false worship.

  • Mark 10:28-30

    You might have opposition, but Jehovah will not abandon you.
