God said that anyone who believes that Jesus is the King of all kings, the true God, and the true Savior would be begotten of Him. Those who love God love Jesus, and those who truly believe in God love Jesus in the same way.

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.

Since we are born with sin as descendants of Adam, we must acknowledge that we are fundamentally sinners destined for hell, even if we do not commit sins through our actions. And we must have all the sins of our hearts removed through faith in the fact that Jesus, who is God, personally received baptism from John in the flesh, took upon Himself all the sins of the world, died on the cross as the price for our sins, and resurrected from the dead.

What is the “good conscience” mentioned in 1 Peter 3:21? As the Scriptures testify, it refers to those who accept and believe in their hearts the gospel of the baptism and blood accomplished by Jesus, thereby enabling them to approach the Lord with a conscience that is sinless and clean.

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.
