 YOU na see people getting baptize before? You can know that they convince from the way they can answer the two questions before they get baptize. You can see that their family members and friends can be happy. When the person come from in the water, you can hear other people clapping and you can know that the person really happy.

³ Jehovah told his people to “love truth.” (Zech. 8:19) Jesus encourage his disciples to always try hard to do the right thing. (Matt. 5:6) So it mean we must really be willing to do the thing them that good in God eye. You love the truth and you want do the right thing? Yes, we sure about this. You hate lying and anything that wrong and wicked. (Read Psalm 119:​128, 163.) Anybody who can lie following Satan example, the ruler of this world.

He make people to think that Jehovah that selfish and bad Ruler who hiding good-good things from people. (Gen. 3:​1, 4, 5) The way Satan lie on Jehovah na make people to think that Jehovah that bad person. When people decide to not ‘love the truth,’ Satan can make them to do all kind na wicked things.​—Rom. 1:​25-31.

⁴ Jehovah that “the God of truth,” and he can teach the truth to those who love him. (Ps. 31:5) By teaching them the truth, he help them so that they can’t let Satan to fool them with his lies. Jehovah can also teach his people to be honest and to do the right thing. It can help them to feel good about their self and have peace of mind. (Prov. 13:​5, 6) From the time you start studying the Bible, Jehovah na do this one for you? You finish learning that Jehovah ways that the best for you and for everybody. (Ps. 77:13) So you want do what God say. (Matt. 6:33) You want tell people the truth to prove that what Satan say about our God, Jehovah, that lie. How you can do it?

If you love the truth and love doing the right thing, it show that you also love Jesus Christ. Just think about how Jesus was  brave to tell people about the truth. (John 18:37) But how Jesus encourage other people to be humble?

7. Mɛɛ wɔ̃ lɛ e I zo si kpokpo ɓo e gbɛ̃ã Zizɛ la diesipeĩ mɔ?

⁷ Jesus encourage other people to be humble by his example. For example, he never gave glory to himself but he gave it to his Father. (Mark 10:​17, 18; John 5:19) How you feel about the way Jesus humble? It make you to love Jesus and follow his example? Yes, it make us to love him. Why Jesus humble? Jesus humble because he love his Father who humble and he can follow his example. (Ps. 18:35; Heb. 1:3) This one make you to want get close to Jesus, who can show the same qualities his father get?

8. Zizɛ kɛ ko Kĩĩ kaa, mɛ e kɛ lɛ a lɔkpɔɔ lɛ ko mɔ?

⁸ We happy for Jesus to be our King because he the best Ruler. That Jehovah self train his Son and make him king. (Isa. 50:​4, 5) Also, think about all the thing them Jesus na do for us. (John 13:1) Because Jesus that your King, you must do your best to love him. He explain that those who really love him can show their love by obeying what he say and he can call them his friends. (John 14:15; 15:​14, 15) To be friend of Jehovah Son, that real blessing!

9. Zi kpɛɛ lɛ Tokɛlɛipiemia wa batai kɛɛ, lɛ nɔ lɛ Zizɛ zia lɛ ɓe?

(See the box “ How Jesus Baptism Different From His Disciple Them Own?”) But it looking the same in some ways. When Jesus got baptize, he show that he was ready to do his Father will. (Heb. 10:7) Like Jesus, his disciples can dedicate their self and get baptize to show that they ready to do God will and not their own. So, they following their Master example.

12. Mɛ e kɛ lɛ ɓa lɔkɛ Zihova ka? (I a bĩĩa gɛ̃ nɔ kili.)

¹² We get plenty reasons to love Jehovah. For example, you na understand that he gave us life and that he can give us “every good gift and every perfect  present.” (Ps. 36:9; Jas. 1:17) Every good thing that you can enjoy coming from our loving God who free handed.

13. Mɛɛ e mia wumɛɓopɛɛ kɛ gbaapɛ ɓɛlɛɓɛlɛzɛ ka?

¹³ The ransom that the greatest gift Jehovah gave us. Why we say so? Think about the close friendship between Jehovah and His son. Jesus said: “The Father love me” and “I love the Father.” (John 10:17; 14:31) The long time they spent together really made their friendship thick. (Prov. 8:​22, 23, 30) So now, think about how it really hurt Jehovah to see His son suffering and dying. Jehovah love you and everybody so much that he was willing to let his son die so that you and other people can live forever. (John 3:16; Gal. 2:20) That the main reason we get to love God.

14. Mɛɛ wɔ̃ kpanazɛ lɛ i bɛia kũũ i zɔ̃ɔ̃ ka ɓa kɛ ɓa kɛɓe yi?

15. Zi kpɛɛ lɛ i bɛi a zɔ̃ɔ̃a kelɛ ɓaa lɔkɛ Zihova ka?

 ¹⁵ How you can show your love for Jehovah? First, you can say one special prayer to tell Jehovah that you giving your life to him. (Ps. 40:8) Then, you can get baptize to let everybody know that you finish giving your life to Jehovah. Just what we say from the beginning of this article, your baptism that happy and important time in your life. You will start living new life, not for yourself, but for Jehovah. (Rom. 14:8; 1 Pet. 4:​1, 2) It sounding like big decision to make and that big decision. But it make it possible for you to live the best life ever. How?

16. Lɛ̀ zi Sãã 41:12 a gee a kaa, mia lɛ o gbini Zihova lɛɛ wa kɛɓe yia, zi kpɛɛ lɛ e lo o fɔnɔ nɔɔ a ka?

¹⁶ Nobody can give more than Jehovah. Jehovah will always give more than anything you give him. (Mark 10:​29, 30) If you use your life to serve Jehovah, he will give you the best life possible, even now in this wicked world. And that just the beginning. The life that you started after you got baptize must not end. You must continue serving your Father forever. The love between you and your Father will continue to get strong. And so long Jehovah living, you will continue to live forever.​—Read Psalm 41:12.

17. Mɛɛ kpokpo lɛ I bɛia nɔɔ Zihova lɛɛ lɛ ye wa a kɛlɛ?

18. Wɛĩlɔɔ ni kpɛɛ lɛ I bɛia kɛɛ i die kɛlɛ?

¹⁸ If somebody ask you this question: ‘You will get baptize?’ How you will answer? That only you can answer it. But it will help you if you ask yourself this question, ‘Wetin I waiting for to get baptize?’ (Acts 8:36) Think about the three reasons that we na talk about. First, you love the truth and to do the right thing. So, ask yourself, ‘I really want see the time that everybody will say the truth and do the right thing?’ Second, you love Jesus Christ.

¹⁹ If you not sure about whether you must get baptize, think about this example that Jesus gave. (Read John 4:34.) Notice that Jesus say that doing his Father will looking just like food. Why? Because food good for us. Jesus knew that everything that Jehovah tell us to do can benefit us. Jehovah not want us to do anything that will harm us. You think Jehovah want you to get baptize? Yes. (Acts 2:38) So you can be sure that when you obey Jehovah and get baptize, you will benefit. If you will not waste time to enjoy good food, then why you must waste time to get baptize?

20. Mɛɛ kɔa lo kɛɛ wɔ̃ geepia e gbɛ̃ã mɔ luo gbɛɛ ka?
