1. Okubatizibwa nikimanyisa ki?

Ekigambo “batiza” nikiruga omu kigambo ky’Oruyonaani ekirukumanyisa “kwibika” omu maizi. Yesu obuyabatiziibwe, akaibikwa omu Kyambu Yorudani, kandi hanyuma akaruga “omu maizi.” (Marako 1:9, 10) Omulingo nugwo gumu, Abakristaayo ab’amananu babatizibwa obu nibaibikirwa kimu omu maizi.

2. Okubatizibwa kwoleka ki?

Omuntu obwabatizibwa, aba n’ayoleka ngu ayehaireyo hali Yahwe Ruhanga. Omuntu ayehayo ata? Obwaba atakabatiziibwe, kurabira omu kusaba, agambira Yahwe ngu n’agonza kumuheereza ebiro n’ebiro. Araganiza ngu naija kuramya Yahwe wenka kandi ngu kukora eby’agonza nikyo kirukwija kuba kintu ekikuru omu bwomeezi bwe. Acwamu ‘kweyangisa wenka, kandi aikara nakuratira’ enyegesa za Yesu n’ekyokurorraho kye. (Matayo 16:24) Okwehayo n’okubatizibwa bisobozesa omuntu kutunga enkoragana enungi na Yahwe hamu n’Abakristaayo bagenzi be.

3. Biki omuntu eby’asemeriire kukora kuhika ha idaara ly’okubatizibwa?

Otakabatiziibwe, kikuru muno kwega hali Yahwe hamu n’okukurakuraniza okwikiriza okugumire omuli uwe. (Soma Abaheburaniya 11:6.) Okumanya kwawe n’okwikiriza obubiragenda nibyeyongera, n’okugonza okwoiniire Yahwe nikwija kweyongera. Hataroho kugurukyagurukya noija kugonza kutebeza abandi ebirukumukwataho n’okuhondera endengo ze. (2 Timoseo 4:2; 1 Yohana 5:3) Omuntu obwarukuba ‘n’agenda kurungi nk’oku kisemeriire omu maiso ga Yahwe kusobora kumusemeza,’ n’asobora kucwamu kuhayo obwomeezi bwe hali Ruhanga kandi akabatizibwa.​—Abakolosai 1:9, 10. a
