Should I Dedicate My Life to God and Be Baptized - DON'T BE AFRAID OF FAILURE

Some people do not dedicate themselves to Jehovah, because they are afraid that they can't keep  their promise to serve him. They don't want to disappoint Jehovah, or they may reason that if they are not dedicated to him, then Jehovah won't hold them responsible for what they do.

Your love for Jehovah will help you overcome any fear of disappointing him.  Because you love him, you will do your best to keep your promise to him.  ( Ecclesiastes 5:4; Colossians 1:10)   You will not think that it is too hard to do Jehovah's will.  The apostle John wrote:  "This is what the love of God mans, that we observe his commandments; and yet his commandments are not burdensome." - 1 JOHN 5:3. 

You don't have to be perfect to dedicate yourself to Jehovah. He expect expects us to do more than we can do.  (Psalm 103:14) He will help you to do what is right.  (Isaiah 41:10) Trust in Jehovah with all your heat, and "he will make your paths straight." - PROVERBS 3:5, 6.
