Today, I would like to introduce an excerpt from the newly revised book by Pastor Paul C. Jong of The New Life Mission, English Volume 1 ‘Have You Truly Been Born Again of Water and the Spirit?’ If you want to encounter the true Word of God about being born again, clearly and easily explained according to the Bible, please visit our website to download the free e-books and audiobooks that we provide.
The name “Jesus” means “The one who will save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21)”. Jesus came to this earth, was baptized, shed His blood on the cross to remove all the sins of the world, and rose again. He gave new life to those who believe in this truth of salvation, enabling them to live eternally with the Lord in Heaven.
Through His Baptism, Blood, and Resurrection, Jesus Gave Heaven to Those Who Believe.
Let’s read Matthew 1.
‘But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins”’ (Matthew 1:20–21).
Our Father in Heaven borrowed the virgin Mary’s body to send His Son to this world to wash away all the sins of the world. He sent an angel to Mary and told her, “And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.” It meant the Son, coming through Mary, would become the Savior. Jesus Christ means the one who will save His people, in other words, the Savior.
The way Jesus took away all the sins of the world was through His baptism at the Jordan River. He was baptized by John the Baptist and all the sins of the world were passed on to Him. Let’s read Matthew 3:13–17.
‘Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?” But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”’
Jesus went to John the Baptist to redeem all of us from all our sins.
He walked into the water and lowered His head before John. “John, baptize Me now. It is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. As I am to take away all the sins of the world and deliver all sinners from their sins, I need to take away their sins with baptism. Baptize Me now! Allow it!”
Thus, it was fitting to fulfill all righteousness. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. And right at that moment, all the righteousness of God which redeemed all our sins was fulfilled.
This is how He took away all our sins.
All your sins were passed on to Jesus, too. Do you understand this?
Believe in the redemption of Jesus’ baptism and the Spirit and be saved.
Do you believe that Jesus, who is God, came as our Savior, and that He took upon Himself all your sins by being baptized by John the Baptist in order to receive all the sins of the world?
And do you believe that He carried all those sins, shed His blood on the cross as the wages of sin, died, and rose again from death to give eternal new life to all who believe in Him?
Through His Baptism, Blood, and Resurrection, Jesus Gave Heaven to Those Who Believe.
As Easter approaches, you must examine whether your soul has been born again as an eternal people of the Kingdom of Heaven by believing in the gospel of water and the Spirit. And this Easter should truly be a time of thanksgiving and praise.
