What obstacles have some overcome in order to be baptized?
Many people have to make drastic changes in their lives, they are aware that they do not lead healthy lives and that they have to change to improve their circumstances, but many times there are factors that prevent making those changes, such as the example of the video and the job that prevented them make these changes.
An important question that poses a great obstacle is thinking about what we want to do with our life. That question is asked by many people, do they want a life enslaved to this material system? Or do you want to look for something that goes much further? This question is asked by a brother in the video and his decision, and that of another sister, is to start studying the Bible or to resume a study that they had.
An obstacle many young people face is their family or their parents. And there is a particular case, which is when the family begins to study but the parents leave it for whatever reasons but the truth has penetrated the hearts of their children. They must continue with the study even when their parents have left it as we have seen in the video, this can be a great obstacle by not having the support and help of your parents.
How can you develop the faith needed to dedicate yourself to Jehovah?
A brother from the video to strengthen his faith what he does is pray and read the Bible every day, just like all his servants do. This habit, which continues to strengthen our faith, is very important especially for those people who are beginning to get closer to God and who are beginning their beautiful friendship with him, this will allow them to have the necessary faith to dedicate their lives to Jehovah.
Oyun feels the same as this brother, when he prays to Jehovah he feels that he is talking to his best friend. Prayer is very important and love of neighbor is also, and this is what has helped Mimi to strengthen her faith, ministry, preach the name of God to other people together with her brothers, it has made her see the Kingdom of God real and very close. This facet of ministry, which is a very important step for all Bible students, goes a long way toward strengthening faith and having the faith necessary to dedicate oneself to Jehovah.
What has motivated some to take the steps needed for baptism?
The day we are baptized is a day that we engrave in our minds and hearts because it is the most important day of our lives, it is the day where our life has meaning and purpose. All the brothers in the video feel it that way, they feel that joy and happiness.
The love we cultivate for Jehovah makes the student see the same love that God reflects for him and how his Word is the truth and this impels them to dedicate their lives to him and impels them to love other people and preach his name and the good news of her Kingdom as Sister Mimi says, this has prompted her for her baptism.
How does Jehovah bless those who choose to serve him?
For example, a brother thanks Jehovah every day because he has given him a future, he has given him hope, and what a wonderful future he has given us! A future that no one can give, only Jehovah.
As our Italian brother says, to show during all the days of our lives the same value that we demonstrate when we dedicate ourselves and baptize and keeping ourselves pure, we will not regret anything and the blessings that we will receive are many.
A great blessing is the teaching that Soten leaves us. Knowing that we have a heavenly Father who is always there with us and cares about us and our well-being is the best thing that can happen to us.
There are so many blessings that it makes our lives happier and with a greater degree of satisfaction as the brother says, and this lifestyle that he comments teaches us a lot, and it had the same effect in Lei Lei on love, God is love, This sister has already taught her a lot to love other people.
Jehovah, as one sister says, is a safe haven for us, even when our circumstances change, he will always be there with us.
What is dedication and what is baptism?
Without a doubt, as the last brother in the video says, it is the best decision he has made in his life. It is the best decision that all our students, our brothers and us have made. Dedicate our life to God, to his Kingdom, to what is really important. We dedicate our lives to God serving him and being obedient to his Word at all times and we materialize it through baptism where our new Christian personality will be reflected for the rest of our lives.
As Brother Rocky says, exercising faith in Jehovah means giving up our lives and we will never feel helpless, quite the contrary, with great hope that we all look forward to and many blessings that will make our lives happier.
