Saturday, March 9

They will not cause any harm or any ruin in all my holy mountain.—Isa. 11:9.

 

Notice that this tranquil state of affairs will prevail “because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah.” Since animals cannot learn about Jehovah, the spiritual fulfillment of this prophecy applies to people. (Isa. 11:6, 7) There are many who were once as fierce as wolves but who now live in peace with others. You can read some of their experiences in the series “The Bible Changes Lives,” found on jw.org. Formerly fierce people have “put on the new personality that was created according to God’s will in true righteousness and loyalty.” (Eph. 4:23, 24) As people learn about God, they see the need to conform to his standards. They are then moved to make changes in their beliefs, attitudes, and conduct. Such changes are not easy but can be made because God’s spirit will help those who sincerely desire to do God’s will. w18.01 31 ¶15-16

In the new world, we will experience  the full the blessings of the spiritual paradise. A spiritual paradise under the rulership of God’s Kingdom. During that time of global restoration, Jehovah will continue to mold earth’s inhabitants. God will make our minds and bodies perfect, so that we will be able to absorb his teaching and do his will flawlessly. So we must be determined to continue submitting to Jehovah, showing him that we view his molding as an expression of his love for us.
