My food is to do the will of him who sent me (John 4:34).

If you still don't know if you should be baptized, one thing that can help you is to ask yourself, “Am I ready to take this step?” (Acts 8:36). Jesus said that doing the will of his Father was like his food. Because? Because food is good for us. Jesus knew that everything Jehovah asks of us is good for us. Jehovah does not ask us to do things that harm us. Well, God's will is for you to be baptized (Acts 2:38). So he can be sure that obeying the commandment to be baptized will do him much good. If you were served the most delicious food in the world, wouldn't you think he would eat it? Then don't hesitate to get baptized either. What stops some from taking this step? Maybe they feel like they're not ready. It is true that the decision to dedicate yourself to Jehovah and be baptized is the most important decision you will make in your life. So think carefully, take your time, and do your best to be prepared. w23.03 7 paras. 18-20.

What is the best decision you can make in life?

Your love for Jehovah has grown stronger as you have learned more about him. You surely want your friendship with Jehovah to continue growing now and for eternity, and that is possible. With your words and your actions you can gladden his heart. In fact, Jehovah lovingly encourages you to do so. (Prov. 23:15, 16) What you decide to do with your life will demonstrate whether you truly love Jehovah (1 John 5:3). Living a life that pleases Jehovah is the best decision you can make.

In what ways can you demonstrate your love for Jehovah?

How can you demonstrate your love for Jehovah? First, she must make a special prayer to him to tell him that she is dedicated to him, the only true God (Ps. 40:8). Afterwards, he must be baptized to make public that dedication that he has made in private. As we mentioned earlier in the article, his baptism is a very happy moment, which marks a before and after in his life. From that day on he no longer lives for you, but for Jehovah (Rom. 14:8; 1 Pet. 4:1, 2). That may seem like a big step, and it certainly is, but it gives you the opportunity to enjoy the best life possible. Let's see why.

As Psalm 41:12 indicates, what reward will Jehovah give to those who use their lives to serve him?

Jehovah is the most generous person there is. No matter what you give him, he will always give you much more (Mark 10:29, 30). Even now in this world as he approaches the end of it, he will give him the most fascinating, rewarding and happy life he could ever have. And this is just the beginning. The path that begins with his baptism does not have to end; can serve the dear Father of him forever. The love between you and Jehovah will continue to grow, and you, like Jehovah, will live forever, for all eternity. (Read Psalm 41:12.)

What is something that Jehovah does not have that you can give him?

By dedicating yourself and being baptized, you have the privilege of giving your Father something very valuable. All the good things you have and all the happy moments you have enjoyed have been given to you by Jehovah. And you can gift the owner of heaven and Earth something he does not have: his loyalty and unconditional service (Job 1:8; 41:11; Prov. 27:11). There's nothing better I can do with his life. Without a doubt, your love for Jehovah is the most powerful reason for being baptized.
