The way we can truly be saved from all sins is not by keeping the Law or repenting of sins, but salvation is achieved by accepting and believing exactly as the Word states the gospel of water, blood, and the Spirit — Jesus’ salvation work of taking upon all the sins of the world through baptism, bearing them, and receiving judgment by shedding His blood on the cross for those sins.

Repentance is to admit our sins and turn back to the word of God, to accept the salvation of the water and the blood with all our hearts (1 John 5:6).

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.

God, knowing that people, being born as descendants of Adam, could not keep God’s law because of sin and, because of that sin, had no choice but to die, established the sacrificial laws of the Tabernacle to save all people from the sins of the world. Therefore, we must accept the merciful gospel of the removal of sins, the salvation determined by the blue, purple, and scarlet thread and the fine twisted linen shown at the gate of the Tabernacle.

Everyone, recognize what time this world is in now, and by believing in the work of Jesus Christ — who has once and for all cleansed us from our sins forever — through His Holy Spirit, baptism, and blood, may you become those who overcome in these last days.

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.

We must first be qualified to believe in God, and that qualification is to know that man is a seed of evil and to acknowledge that we are destined to go to hell. If we acknowledge that we are sinners bound for hell, Jesus will have mercy on us and save us from sin through the gospel of water (baptism), blood, and the Holy Spirit.

The faith that God desires is to believe that Jesus, who is fundamentally God, came to this earth in the body of flesh, received baptism from John the Baptist to take upon Himself all our fundamental sins and present and future sins, died on the Cross shedding His blood as the price for these sins, rose from the dead, and removed our sins and the sins of the world once and for all eternally, thus becoming God’s children through this faith.

It is a word that God will send God’s servant like Elijah in the Old Testament, and it means that John the Baptist would perform a ministry like Elijah of the Old Testament, turning God’s people who had fallen into idolatry back to God.

God appointed one representative — that is, the high priest representing the people — to lay his hands on the head of the sacrificial goat and transfer all the yearly sins of the people of Israel onto it. Just as the Israelites in the Old Testament knew and believed that their sins were blotted out through this sacrificial law, Jesus Christ came as the trespass offering to receive all the sins of all people in the world.
