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.

When Jesus was baptized, the sins of the world were transferred to Him. Jesus was sinless, but because He bore all the sins of the world through baptism, He had to die on the Cross. And by rising from death, He gave new life to those who believe in this beautiful gospel.

I realized that the water represents the baptism of Jesus, where my sins were passed on to Him; the blood represents the judgment on the Cross, where He paid the price; and the Holy Spirit confirms my new life.

The Lord has allowed difficulties in order to firmly and perfectly establish our faith, for those of us who have become God’s people by believing in the gospel of water and the Spirit.

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.

By being baptized — that is, through the baptism likened to the laying on of hands represented by the blue thread — He took upon Himself all the sins of the world. Just as the atoning sacrifice was slain and its blood shed, Jesus bore the sins of the world and died on the Cross, shedding His blood as the price for those sins. Through this, He completely removed all the sins of those who believe in the work of Jesus Christ, the Savior.

We must not believe merely in the blood of the cross, nor should we try to erase our sins through prayers of repentance. We must believe the fact that the sins of all humankind were definitively passed onto Jesus all at once at the very moment He was baptized by John the Baptist.

God’s will is that the purpose for creating mankind was to send His Son, Jesus, as our Savior to earth so that by believing in what He accomplished to save mankind from sin and judgment, believers may enter the kingdom of heaven.

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 Was Jesus Baptized? The Baptism of Jesus was to take away all our sins, the sins that we, the brood of evildoers, commit with our flesh throughout our lives.
