A young Australian man named Wade abused alcohol and drugs, gambled, and had many immoral relationships. Happiness, though, eluded him. One day he had a conversation with Jehovah’s Witnesses and accepted a free home Bible study. What did Wade learn?

“I was deeply impressed with the way Jesus treated others,” says Wade. “He showed kindness, compassion, and love to all, including children. The more I learned, the more I wanted to be like him. The Bible taught me how to be a real man and how to change my personality for the better.” But what about all the bad things he had done? Wade continues: “The Bible taught me that if I repented of my sins and changed my conduct, God would forgive me. In fact, I could live forever on a paradise earth. Finally, I had a future!” (Matthew 5:5) Wade cleaned up his life and now worships Jehovah with a clean conscience.
