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.

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.

By receiving baptism from John, Jesus took on all the sins of mankind, and to those who believe this, He gave the removal of sins. Jesus, by receiving baptism, took on the sins of the world and, by being immersed in water, accepted the judgment for the sins of mankind on the Cross. This is the merit of the removal of sin established by God.

What is the imperishable food that God speaks of? Eating the imperishable food means believing in the One whom the Father has sent. “Jesus answered and said, ‘This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.’” (John 6:29)

Those who believe in Jesus Christ are no longer slaves to sin. This is because Jesus has already paid the price for all our sins through His baptism and blood.

Through whom can we believe in Jesus? It is through John the Baptist. We must properly understand and believe in the reason why John the Baptist was born as recorded in the four Gospels, who he was, and his ministry, so that we can clearly know and believe in the Gospel of salvation that Jesus has accomplished for us.

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.

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.

Who is a heretic? Anyone who believes in Jesus but still has sin in their heart is considered a heretic before God — in other words, a false believer.
