The Bible says that the way to overcome the world, that is Satan, is through faith in Jesus Christ who came by water and blood.

Those who think they have no sin cannot be saved. How can one be saved from sin if there is no sin to be removed? Why would a doctor be needed if one is not sick?

Why did God love Jacob? Jacob knew he had no righteousness and acknowledged his shortcomings, so he confessed that he was a sinner before God and sought God’s grace. Therefore, God called Jacob and saved him.

Jesus, who came to this earth as the Lamb of God, received baptism which was in the same form as the laying on of hands in the Old Testament to bear all the sins of mankind, shed His blood and died on the cross to receive the judgment for these sins in our place, rose from the dead, removed all our past, present, and future sins once and for all, and became the Savior of those who believe.

“God divided the light from the darkness.” In other words, this means He separates those who are born again without sin through faith in the gospel of water (baptism), blood, and the Spirit that Jesus fulfilled, from sinners who have sin because they don’t believe.

As the Bible states, just as in the Old Testament when the High Priest laid hands on the sacrifice to transfer all the sins of the Israelites to it, Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, the last High Priest from Aaron’s lineage, and through this all the sins of the world were transferred to Him. As a result, He eliminated the sins of all who believe in this truth of baptism, the antitype of salvation.

It is not human righteousness but the superior love of God that saved sinners through His baptism and the cross. This is the love that abundantly saved all humanity from all the sins of the world. This is the supremacy of God’s love.

Bible says, “Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God” (John 3:5). “To be born again of water and the Spirit” is the only way we can enter the eternal kingdom of heaven.

Jesus came with water (baptism), blood, and the Spirit to eliminate all sins of this world. Dear friends, ‘the faith that overcomes the world’ does not depend on our passion, effort, or goodness, but comes through faith in the ministry of water, blood, and the Spirit through which Jesus Christ acted and saved us from all sins.

This is the gospel of the water and the Spirit, which is the primary topic of this amazing, Holy Spirit inspired book.
