Jehovah's Witnesses believe that "all scriptures is inspired of God and beneficial." (2 Timothy 3:16) We use the Bible as a practical guide to learn about the Creator and to live meaningful lives.
The Bible says: "May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth." (Psalm 83: 18) Therefore, we worship only Jehovah God, and as his Witnesses, we endeavour to make known his personal name. --Isaiah 43:10-12.
As Christians, we believe that Jesus, "the Son of God," came to earth and became the Messiah. (John 1: 34, 41; 4:25, 26) After he died, Jesus was raised to heaven. (1 Corinthians 15:3, 4) Later he became King of God's kingdom. (Revelation 11:15) That kingdom is a real government that will restore paradise to earth. (Daniel 2:44) "The meek will possess the earth, and they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace," says the Bible --Psalm 37:11, 29.
Jehovah's witnesses believe that Bible principles can benefit people even today. (Isaiah 48:17, 18) Therefore, we adhere closely to those principles. For example, because the Bible warns us to avoid practices that pollute our minds and bodies, we do not smoke or misuse drugs. (2 Corithains 7:1) We also avoid practices specifically condemned in the Bible, such as drunkenness, sexual immorality, and stealing. --1 Corinthians 6: 9-11.
