The decision to obey the gospel is one of the most important ones you'll ever make, but it's only the beginning of your journey of faith. At baptism, you become a Christian - then comes a lifetime of living Christian. Your thoughts, actions, and attitudes will need to be brought in line with the One you now follow - Jesus Christ. He's not asking you to be a martyr; He wants to put your life on display so the world can see a living Christian.
