"EQUIPPED FOR EVERY
GOOD WORK"
WHY THIS BOOK IS PUBLISHED
EHOVAH God is a Worker perfectly equipped for
any undertaking, whether it be building an atom or a
universe . He now oversees a strange work in the earth, a
work whereby Bible truth exposes religious lies . It is the
glorious work of announcing God's established Kingdom
and its early march against Satan and his organization in
the destructive cataclysm of Armageddon . When that war
of vindication breaks, the "strange work" will have been cut
short in righteousness ; then God's "strange act" will occur
in witness to his supremacy . Now is the time for Jehovah's
witnesses to work at their assignment of Kingdom service,
while possible . Now is the acceptable time for them to be
fruitful and abound in good works . And though imperfect
themselves, they are perfectly equipped workmen . They
have no need to be ashamed before God . With confidence
they can work out their own salvation and need not fear
the time when all will be judged and rewarded according
to their works . They have sown good works ; they will reap
a good reward .
Why can the weak and imperfect worker hold to such
confidence? It is because of his equipment . Listen to Paul's
description of it to young Timothy : "From infancy you
have known the sacred writings which are able to make
you wise to obtain salvation through faith in Christ Jesus .
Every scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in right
doing ; so that the man of God maybe complete, perfectly
equipped for every good work ." (2 Tim . 3 : 15-17, Weymouth) Workmen who diligently study these inspired
