When we understand well about John the Baptist, we can clearly understand and believe in the gospel of the redemption of Jesus.

God’s choice is to choose everyone in Jesus Christ, and without Jesus Christ, He does not choose anyone. A doctrine of election without Jesus Christ is not biblical.

God’s written word states that only those who are born again through the gospel of water and the Spirit can be called born-again believers and born-again ministers.

In the Bible, it speaks of Jeroboam’s sin, which became the origin of heresy. Jeroboam replaced God with a golden calf, and he changed the priesthood — that is, the sacrificial law established by God, which is the law of salvation.

Jesus has redeemed us from all the sins of the past, present and the future by bearing all the sins on His body through His baptism and being judged for them on the Cross. This is the complete and righteous salvation of God.

The One who overcame the world, who overcame Satan was Jesus Christ. He who believes in the word of the water, the blood, and the Spirit of Jesus will also overcome the world.

John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the Jordan. Baptism is given in the form of “laying on of hands,” and John the Baptist is a descendant of Aaron and the representative of all mankind. When John put his hands on the head of Jesus Christ, all the sins of the world were passed onto Him according to the Law God had established.

Why did Jesus wash the feet of Peter and His disciples on the day before Passover, before going to the Cross? Because He knew His disciples’ weaknesses, and He washed their feet to teach them that all their sins, past, present, and future, had already been washed away, so that sin could not come between Jesus and His disciples after He ascended to heaven.

Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, the representative of all human beings and the high priest in the tradition of Aaron, and took all the sins of the world upon Himself. This was the purpose of His baptism.

A true disciple, recognized and called by the Lord, is one who believes that Jesus is God, believes in the work He has done, meets the Lord through the Word of God, and is born again as a holy child of God, having been saved from all the sins of the world.
