As dedicated servants of Jehovah God, we also have experienced a deliverance. Through his undeserved kindness, no longer are we enslaved to the false doctrines and traditions of Babylon the Great or to the wickedness of this old system of things. (John 8:32; 2 Corinthians 4:4-6) Such deliverance, as well as the freedom it brings, affords us the opportunity to show God our appreciation for his love for us. (1 John 4:9) How?

By our not missing the purpose of God’s undeserved kindness. This is the same as it was for those earlier servants of Jehovah, that we should take up true worship. Today, as in Paul’s day, this means that we should “declare to the nations the good news about the . . . Christ.” (Ephesians 3:8) All, therefore, who accept the undeserved kindness of God must share in the Christian ministry. This means that as dedicated servants of Jehovah God, we have a responsibility to make the truth manifest to others, to magnify and praise God’s name, and to serve him in worship that is clean and holy.​—Matthew 28:19, 20; Hebrews 13:15; James 1:27.

Do our works show that we have missed the purpose of our deliverance from this wicked old system and its false religion? Paul told the Corinthians that “now is the especially acceptable time” to help others to gain salvation. (2 Corinthians 6:2) Today, with the impending destruction of this wicked system close at hand, there is much greater urgency to Paul’s words.
