As Jehovah’s Witnesses, we strive to adhere to the form of Christianity that Jesus taught and that his apostles practiced. This article summarizes our basic beliefs.
- God. We worship the one true and Almighty God, the Creator, whose name is Jehovah. (Psalm 83:18; Revelation 4:11) He is the God of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus.—Exodus 3:6; 32:11;
- Bible. We recognize the Bible as God’s inspired message to humans. (John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16) We base our beliefs on all 66 of its books, which include both the “Old Testament” and the “New Testament.”
- Jesus. We follow the teachings and example of Jesus Christ and honor him as our Savior and as the Son of God. (Matthew 20:28; Acts 5:31) Thus, we are Christians. (Acts 11:26) However, we have learned from the Bible that Jesus is not Almighty God and that there is no Scriptural basis for the Trinity doctrine.—John 14:28.
- The Kingdom of God. This is a real government in heaven, not a condition in the hearts of Christians. It will replace human governments and accomplish God’s purpose for the earth. (Daniel 2:44)
- Salvation. Deliverance from sin and death is possible through the ransom sacrifice of Jesus. (Matthew 20:28)
- Heaven. Jehovah God, Jesus Christ, and the faithful angels reside in the spirit realm.(Psalm 103:19-21; Acts 7:55) A relatively small number of people—144,000—will be resurrected to life in heaven to rule with Jesus in the Kingdom.—Daniel 7:27; 2 Timothy 2:12; Revelation 5:9
- Earth. God created the earth to be mankind’s eternal home. (Psalm 104:5; 115:16;Ecclesiastes 1:4)
- Evil and suffering. These began when one of God’s angels rebelled. (John 8:44)
- Death. People who die pass out of existence. (Psalm 146:4) They do not suffer in a fiery hell of torment.
- Family. We adhere to God’s original standard of marriage as the union of one man and one woman, with sexual immorality being the onl
