Perhaps nothing distinguishes us as much as our extensive preaching work --from house to house, in public places, and wherever people are found. Why do we do it?

Jehovah's Witnesses preach to glorify God and to make his name known. ( Hebrews 13:15) We also want to obey Christ Jesus, who commanded: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nation's,... teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you."--Mathew 28:19,20.

Moreover, we love our neighbors. (Matthew 22:39) Of course, we realize that most people have their own religious beliefs and not everyone is interested in our message. Still, we feel that Bible teachings are lifesaving. That is why we continue "without let up teaching and declaring the good news about the Christ," as did the first-century Christians. --Acts 5:41, 42.

Most readers of our literature are not Jehovah's Witnesses. And millions who study the Bible with us belong to other religions. Yet they are grateful that Jehovah's Witnesses called on them.
