"KEEP TESTING . . . KEEP PROVING"

 There is more to Robert's experience. He continues: "After I refused my coworker's invitation, she said, 'You passed the test!' I asked her what she meant. She explained that a friend of hers, a former Witness, had told her that all young Witnesses lead a double life and that they would jump at the opportunity to compromise. So she told her friend that she would test that out on me. I realized then how glad I was that I had honored Jehovah's name.

When you dedicate yourself to Jehovah and get baptized, you show that you want to sanctify his name no matter what comes. And you can be certain that Jehovah knows the trials you face and the temptations you resist. He will bless your efforts to remain faithful. Trust that by means of his holy spirit, he can give you the strength to do so. (Luke 11:11-13) With Jehovah's help, you will be able to keep following Jesus after your baptism.
