God loved the world so much.—John 3:16.

 

Like Jehovah and his Son, we love people. (Prov. 8:31) We feel deep compassion for those who are “without God” and who have “no hope.” (Eph. 2:12) They are drowning in life’s problems, and we have the life vest that they need—the good news of God’s Kingdom. Our love and compassion for such ones motivates us to make every effort to reach them with the good news. That precious message can fill their hearts with hope, help them find the best possible life now, and give them the prospect of “the real life”—everlasting life—in God’s new world. (1 Tim. 6:19) Our love for people also moves us to warn them about the approaching end of this wicked world. (Ezek. 33:7, 8) We want them to know what will happen during the great tribulation—false religion will be removed and the destruction of the entire wicked system will follow at Armageddon.—Rev. 16:14, 16; 17:16, 17; 19:11,19, 20. w24.05 16-17 ¶8-9
