Living a life that is holy and dedicated to God

As God’s chosen people, Church members are expected by the Almighty to always live in holiness, be fervent in their faith, and dedicated to their services to Him.
The Lord looks favorably upon His righteous servants

Church members are reminded that whatever happens, they should never lose hope because God listens to and answers the prayers of His servants who always strive to be righteous.
Grow in faith, strong and firm in the truth

The Church members were reminded to live in obedience to God so they would grow in faith, strong and vigorous in the truth that was taught to them.
Believe in, trust in, and rely on God

Since those who are inside the true Church are God’s chosen people in the last days, they can feel safe and secure, and they can confidently expect that God will protect them.
Leaning on God’s promises

God assured the faithful that amid the hardships they would encounter in this world, especially now that the end is truly near, they have the hope of receiving His promised help and strength.
Conduct your lives in a way that pleases God
