Believing only in Jesus being God (the Holy Spirit) and His blood on the cross is not enough to achieve complete salvation. The essential elements of our salvation are the water of Jesus’ baptism, His blood, and the Holy Spirit. Only when we believe in all of these can salvation be completely fulfilled.

I have learned that Jesus took all our sins through His baptism and received the complete judgement for them in our place.

The one faith that accepts like a little child the gospel of the water and the Spirit, which Christ Himself accomplished, is all that is enough.

I have come to know and believe the truth that Jesus Christ received His baptism from John the Baptist — whom He testified as the greatest among those born of women and who represents all mankind.

“The grace of God” refers to the grace of salvation from sin accomplished through Jesus Christ. When seen from the perspective of the gospel of the water and the Spirit, this grace of salvation is revealed very clearly.

I am without sin not because of works but only because of Jesus’ righteousness. I believe He blotted out all my lifetime sins through His baptism, death, and resurrection.

Jesus took upon Himself the sins of the world, including all my sins, when He was baptized, went to the cross with them, shed His blood to atone for all the sins in my heart, and thereby fulfilled all righteousness, declaring me righteous forever.

He clearly explained about my sins and how to be born again of water and Spirit according to God’s Word. During my reading, all the sins in my heart completely disappeared, as if I had put down a heavy burden.

In the past, I was trapped in legalism while believing in God, but I was still a sinner(John 9:31; Revelation 21:27). But now I am born again through faith in the gospel of water and Spirit (John 3:3,5,7).

John the Baptist transferred our sins to Jesus Christ, who came as the unblemished Lamb, through the laying on of hands, and all the sins of the world were transferred through Jesus’ baptism.
