How does one become a Christian heading toward the goal of salvation? Here is the process:
First, an individual will hear about God, then decides to pursue it further. They will become a student and progressively comes to know and love Jehovah and put faith in Him. (John 3:16; 17:3)
The student then forms a relationship with Jehovah and begins to bond with the congregation. (Heb. 10:24, 25; Jas. 4:8)
Eventually, the student rejects bad practices and repents of his sins. (Acts 3:19)
Meanwhile, his faith impels him to share the truth with others. (2 Cor. 4:13)
Then he dedicates himself to Jehovah and symbolizes his dedication by getting baptized. (1 Pet. 3:21; 4:2)
Then he will continue to grow until maturity serving Jehovah eternally.
