 Muri Bibiliya, kubatizwa si ugushyira amazi make ku muntu, ahubwo ni ukumwibiza wese mu mazi, kandi ibyo bifite ibisobanuro by’ingenzi.

 Iyo ubatijwe, uba ugaragarije mu ruhame ko wiyeguriye Yehova uri wenyine. Uba weretse abandi ko utakibaho ku bwawe, ahubwo ko usigaye uri uwa Yehova.—Matayo 16:24.
