Our worship must be “holy and acceptable” to Jehovah. (Romans 12:1) It mean that we need to live by all his laws. For example, the people who love Jehovah can love and follow the laws he give on marriage. And they can try not to do anything that will harm them, like smoking, taking in drugs, or drinking too much.a
