Brace God's Word!

Hey Man!
Truly those who have embraced God's word have come from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. They are to be found among the rich and the poor, the highly educated and the illiterate. Some have accepted the word under conditions of war and harsh persecution, while others have done so through times of peace and prosperity. Under every type of government in all cultures from concentration camps to palaces men and women have responded favorably to the good news. What sort of men are denied an opportunity to be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of the truth? The apostle Paul reminded his fellow anointed christians of God's will that " all sorts of men should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth." For this they were to pray that they be granted a calm and quiet life so that they might proclaim the kingdom good news to all who had a listening ear. Today reaching all sorts of men with the good news takes on special meaning for Jehovah's Witnesses. According to 1 Timothy 4:10 "We are working hard and exerting ourselves, because we have rested our hope on a living God, who is a savior of all sorts of men, especially of faithful ones." Prayers are to be made concerning all sorts of men including those in high station. It is the will of God, the savior, that all sorts of men should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth.
