5. How do we choose God as Ruler?

We choose God as Ruler when we seek out and practice true worship based on his Word, the Bible. (John 4:23) We also avoid involvement in politics and war, as Jesus did.—Read John 17:14. Satan uses his power to promote immoral, harmful practices. When we reject such practices, some of our friends and relatives may ridicule or oppose us. (1 Peter 4:3, 4) So we face a choice. Will we associate with people who love God? Will we obey his wise and loving laws? If we do, we prove that Satan lied when he claimed that no one would do as God says.—Read 1 Corinthians 6:9, 10; 15:33.
