IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING

In many lands, a wedding ceremony marks the end of a period of planning and preparation (and usually of courtship). At the same time, it marks the beginning of a life together as a married couple. Similarly, your baptism is the culmination of a period of preparation during which you took a number of important preliminary steps. You gained knowledge of God and Christ. You began to exercise faith in Jehovah as the true God, in Christ as your Savior, and in the Bible as God's Word. You demonstrated that faith by repenting of your former course of action and converting to a righteous course. You then decided to dedicate yourself to Jehovah to do his will. Finally, you were baptized. But it is not the end... it's only the beginning.
