Can We Have a Personal Relationship with Jesus?

February 11, 2025 / / 0 Comments

Jehovah’s Witnesses have no personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.

Rather than coming directly to Jesus for salvation, Witnesses rely on their dedication and service to the organization they think he has chosen to represent him on earth—the Watchtower Society.

Many years ago, I heard a talk by Arnold Hoffman in which he recommended a devotional approach which focuses attention on the Witnesses’ need for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
