Show faith in God, and show faith in me too (John 14:1).

Because we have faith in the message we carry, we want as many people as possible to hear it. We trust the promises of God's Word (Ps. 119:42; Isa. 40:8). We have seen some of the prophecies of the Bible come true in our day. We have also seen how people improve their lives when they begin to put biblical advice into practice. All of this convinces us more and more that the whole world needs to hear the good news of the Kingdom. We also have faith in Jehovah, the source of the message we carry, and in Jesus, whom he has appointed King of the Kingdom. No matter what happens, Jehovah will always be our refuge and our strength (Ps. 46:1-3). In addition, we are convinced that Jesus directs the preaching from heaven with the power and authority that Jehovah has given him (Matt. 28:18-20). Thanks to faith, we are increasingly convinced that Jehovah will bless our efforts. w20.09 12 paras. 15-17.

How does faith strengthen our desire to continue preaching?

Because we have faith in the message we carry, we want as many people as possible to hear it. We trust the promises of God's Word (Ps. 119:42; Isa. 40:8). We have seen some of the prophecies of the Bible come true in our day. We have also seen how people improve their lives when they begin to put biblical advice into practice. All of this convinces us more and more that the whole world needs to hear the good news of the Kingdom.

In harmony with Psalm 46:1-3, why does faith in Jehovah strengthen our desire to continue preaching?

We also have faith in Jehovah, the source of the message we carry, and in Jesus, whom he has appointed King of the Kingdom (John 14:1). No matter what happens, Jehovah will always be our refuge and our strength (read Psalm 46:1-3). In addition, we are convinced that Jesus directs the preaching from heaven with the power and authority that Jehovah has given him (Matt. 28:18-20).

Why are we sure that the Kingdom-preaching work will end at the time Jehovah has decided?

We can be sure that the Kingdom-preaching work will end in due time. Let's think about what happened in the days of Noah. Jehovah showed that he always acts at the perfect time. About a hundred and twenty years in advance, he decided when the Flood would begin. Decades later, he commanded Noah to build the ark. For some forty or fifty years, Noah worked tirelessly. Although the people did not listen to him, he kept warning them until Jehovah said that it was time for the animals to enter the ark. Then, at the perfect moment, “the Lord shut the door” (Gen. 6:3; 7:1, 2, 16).

What can we expect if we don't let our hands rest?

Soon, Jehovah will put an end to the preaching, “he will shut the door” on Satan's system and bring in a new world of righteousness. Until that time comes, let us follow the example of Noah, Habakkuk, and other faithful servants of God who have not let their hands rest. Let us be centered, let us be patient and have a strong faith in Jehovah and his promises.
