Why Jehovah's witness .... See more
---
I bear the name “Jehovah’s Witness” because my conviction is firmly rooted in the Scriptures, not in human tradition or preference.
First, I am convinced that Jehovah himself chose the term “witnesses.” In Isaiah 43:10, Jehovah clearly states:
> “You are my witnesses,” declares Jehovah, “yes, my servant whom I have chosen.”
This scripture shows me that Jehovah identifies true worshippers as those who bear witness about him—his name, his purposes, and his sovereignty.
Second, my conviction is that Jehovah’s personal name must be made known. The Bible does not present God as anonymous. Scriptures such as Psalm 83:18 say:
> “May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah, you alone are the Most High over all the earth.”
Bearing the name “Jehovah’s Witnesses” reflects my desire to honor, use, and make known God’s personal name, just as faithful servants did in Bible times.
Third, I am convinced that true Christians must testify publicly about Jehovah and his Kingdom. Jesus said at Matthew 24:14 that the good news of the Kingdom would be preached in all the inhabited earth. Just as Jesus bore witness to Jehovah (John 17:6), I feel obligated to do the same.
Additionally, Acts 15:14 strengthens my conviction, stating that God is “taking out of the nations a people for his name.” This convinces me that Jehovah has a people who are identified by, and closely associated with, his name.
Therefore, I bear the name Jehovah’s Witness not as a label created by men, but as a Scriptural identity. My conviction is that this name accurately reflects who I worship, whose name I honor, and whom I choose to represent before others.
Please i will always encourage you to visit JW.org for your information about Jehovah's witnesses and their beliefs as this is my personal conviction and understanding of the Bible ✅ 🤝🏿 🫶🏿
