Subject 28 : If You Have Confusion and Emptiness in Your Heart, Seek the Light of the Truth
[28-1] Whom Does the Lord Save from Sins? (Luke 23:32-43)
(Luke 23:32-43)
“There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death. And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left. Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
And they divided His garments and cast lots. And the people stood looking on. But even the rulers with them sneered, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God.”
The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him sour wine, and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.”
And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew:
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”
But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? “And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”
And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.””

Mankind living in this world now is heading to the final endpoint. The climate crisis is such a severe threat to this planet earth that the whole world has signed on to the Convention on Climate Change, with each country adopting policies designed to reduce carbon emissions through industrial restructuring. The entire world is beset by an atmosphere of war that is once again engulfing the post-Cold War era. Stemming from the ongoing pandemic, war, and surging protectionism in raw materials and food, the global supply chain continues to be destabilized while inflation is running rampant, threatening to bring poverty. There already are countries that are struggling with debt crisis. Amid all this, the great powers are competing against each other over hegemony in the 21st century. This and other numerous factors are destabilizing the entire world and showing signs of impending war between nations.
Looking at how rapidly the world is changing these days, it seems like the age of the pale horse written in the Bible is just around the corner. In that age, the whole world will come under a single global organization and be ruled by the Antichrist, and this day appears to be getting increasingly closer. When this era begins, national leaders from around the world will come together through world organizations such as the United Nations currently in existence, and they will try to mount a common response to address global economic, political, atmospheric, and refugee problems.
It seems that as much as this world is changing, so are we looking at great spiritual changes ahead of us. If the time of the Antichrist’s appearance is nearing us this fast, I believe we must move even more swiftly to preach the gospel Truth that Jesus bore the sins of this world and washed away His believers’ sins with His baptism. All of us must prepare the faith that can endure the age of the Antichrist. To do so, we must all be born again by believing in the Word of the baptism that the Lord received, and wait for the returning Lord with this born-again faith.
The Two Criminals Crucified along with Jesus
In today’s Scripture reading, we see two criminals who were crucified along with Jesus. These two criminals show us that there are two types of Christians with two different kinds of faith. Of the two criminals, one did not believe in Jesus as his Savior, while the other recognized His righteousness. When Jesus Christ was sentenced to death by the court of Pilate, He was not convicted because he had committed some crime in this world. It was only because Jesus had accepted the sins of this world once and for all through His baptism. It was because He had taken all the sins of this world upon Himself once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist. That Jesus Christ bore the sins of this world once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist was an act of obedience that He carried out to wash away the sins of mankind.
However, people in this age are like the criminal who did not recognize the righteousness of Jesus. Rather than believing in the Word of God, they believe in the doctrine of repentance and the doctrine of incremental sanctification. These doctrines are man-made dogmas designed to fill in the void created when the Protestant reformers in the Middle Ages inherited the faith of the Nicene Creed intact. People have thought that they can be washed from their sins by believing in these doctrines, and the theologians who came up with them have received a great deal of praise and honor. However, there is no doctrine anywhere that can actually wash away so many sins that we are committing today. Moreover, the sins committed by human beings living in the 21st century seem to have reached the worst level when compared to the sins committed by previous generations.
Even though you have been offering prayers of repentance every day, you are living with your sins still remaining unresolved to this day. All that such prayers of repentance have done is that they have made you realize your heart’s sins even more. This is because the prayers of repentance offered by Christians today are not the Truth of salvation. Man-made doctrines are nothing more than religious doctrines that are inherently incapable of addressing anyone’s sins.
It is therefore indispensable for us to realize that the remission of sins is received by believing in the sacrifice of atonement that was made with the baptism of Jesus and His blood as told in both testaments of the Bible. We must live with the faith that we are washed from our sins with the baptism of the Lord and His blood. We must recognize that this faith in the baptism and blood of Jesus is the right faith in God’s sight.
To understand why Jesus was sentenced to death by the court of Pilate and shed His blood on the Cross, we must first realize the fact that Jesus had sought out John the Baptist to be baptized by him. This is because it was by being baptized that Jesus could bear the sins of this world once and for all (Matthew 3:13-17). Because Jesus accepted all sins once and for all, even those that are committed now in the 21st century, through the baptism He received from John the Baptist, He was obligated to be sentenced to death by the court of Pilate and bear the punishment of the Cross. Therefore, the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist was the most righteous act of obedience that followed the will of God the Father.
Even though Governor Pilate examined Jesus in his court looking for wrongdoings, he could not find any at all. This was quite predictable since Pilate had no idea that Jesus the Savior of mankind had accepted all the sins of this world on to His own body by being baptized by John the Baptist. Jesus was now being tried in the court of Pilate to obey the Will of His Father. This came about because He had borne the sins of all mankind in this world through His baptism and become the Lamb of God.
By ourselves, none of us knows that we are sinners. It is by believing in the Word of the Law of God written in the Bible that we all come to realize that we are sinners. From then on, most Christians try to wash away their sins by believing in the precious blood that Jesus shed on the Cross, but they come to realize increasingly over time that with this kind of faith, their sins are not washed away. In about ten years since first believing in Jesus as your Savior, you come to know that you are indeed even a greater sinner in God’s sight. So, seeing your sinful self, you start getting much more interested in how you can obtain the washing of your sins.
This is because you are consumed by the fear of God’s judgment, for you are still a sinner even after believing in Jesus as your Savior—in fact, when you look at your present self, you see that you are now an even worse sinner than before. So, you try to wash away your everyday sins by offering prayers of repentance, but you cannot actually achieve this, and as a result, you end up bound by your sins. All human beings lose their hearts when they see themselves committing countless sins instinctively. And since sinners standing before God know that they must be judged for their sins deservedly, they can’t help but live in constant fear.
Today, all those who believe in Jesus as their Savior yearn to live before God as the righteous who are always sinless. For us to fulfill this yearning of ours, we must have the faith to know and believe in the baptism of Jesus, the Lord who bore the sins of this world. It is after we first realize our sins before God that we come to recognize Jesus as our Savior who bore the sins of this world once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist and carried them to the Cross. It is through faith that we receive the remission of sins, by looking toward and believe in the Lord who was baptized and shed His blood to be condemned for all our sins in our place. All of us ought to be washed from our sins by believing wholeheartedly in the baptism that the Lord received and the blood He shed for us.

When Do We Know That We Have Been Saved from Our Sins?
Jesus came to this earth about 2,000 years ago. And He bore the sins of mankind by being baptized by John the Baptist. We all need to learn about the baptism of Jesus and realize its meaning. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist to bear your sins and mine and wash them away once and for all. To save you and me from the sins of this world, He bore our everyday sins once and for all through His baptism, went to the Cross, shed His precious blood, and has thereby fulfilled our salvation from the sins of this world. We can see that by taking upon our sins through His baptism and shedding His blood, Jesus offered Himself as the propitiation for our sins. On account of this work, we are now able to receive salvation through our faith in the baptism of Jesus and His blood.
Hidden in the Word of Scripture is the gospel of the washing of sins, a gift that is greater than any winning lottery in the world, for it is the gift of salvation. More specifically, this gospel is all about the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist and His death on the Cross, and all this Truth is hidden in the Word of both testaments like a concealed picture.
I heard in the news recently that a lottery ticket sold at a gas station in the US hit the jackpot and won a whopping $1.34 billion. By being baptized by John the Baptist, Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all. If we realize and believe that we can be washed from our sins with the Word of the baptism of Jesus, then this means we can receive a far greater gift than this lottery, the gift of salvation, through faith. You are able to experience amazing salvation and receive the remission of sins, where all the sins hidden in your heart are washed away once and for all with the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist. As someone who has received such remission of sins, you are truly the luckiest of all in this world. What is truly saddening, though, is that so many people practicing Christianity are, to this day, still unable to find and believe in the Truth that Jesus bore and took away the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist.

What is truly saddening, though, is that so many people practicing Christianity are, to this day, still unable to find and believe in the Truth that Jesus bore and took away the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist.
The True Gospel of Salvation
It is written in Matthew 13:44-46: “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.” You believe that Jesus bore the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and carried them to the Cross, and here in this passage, the Lord is speaking of your faith by drawing an analogy to the merchant seeking the most precious pearl in the world. The merchant, having come across the most precious pearl in the world, sold everything he had and bought the pearl. What, then, is the most precious pearl for us here? This pearl is the gospel proclaiming that Jesus took upon the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist, went to the Cross while shouldering them, bore the punishment of our sins, and has thereby saved us from them.
In Matthew 3:15-16, Jesus said just before being baptized by John the Baptist, “Thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” What does “all the righteousness of God” here mean? It refers, of course, to the work that Jesus did when He bore all the sins of this world through His baptism. When the Lord came to this world, the very first thing that He had to do to save sinners from their sins was bearing the sins of mankind once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist. That is why Jesus received His baptism from John the Baptist, to save every sinner in this world from its sins.
Therefore, it is because all the sins of this world were passed on to the body of Jesus through His baptism that He could be crucified and shed His blood of life as our propitiation. The baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist was the way of salvation for the Lord to bear your sins and mine on His body and wash them away once and for all, and if we believe in this, then all your sins and mine are indeed washed away. That Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist and shed His blood on the Cross is the work of salvation that has both washed away our sins and made atonement for them at the same time.
We must believe that the baptism Jesus received and the blood He shed on the Cross constitute the atonement of sacrifice He made for our sins. We must grasp here that because of the baptism of Jesus and His death on the Cross, we can now receive the washing of sins and their redemption into our hearts by faith. This means we must believe that the baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist and the blood He shed on the Cross are our atonement. Unless we have this faith, we will not be able to reach salvation despite believing in Jesus, and we will fall into a folly instead, trying to wash away our sins with our own prayers of repentance in vain like the religious practitioners of the world.
Jesus Himself bore all the sins of mankind once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist. Having thus taken upon all our sins on His body, Jesus went to the Cross and bore the punishment of our sins for us, and He has thereby forever saved us who believe in this Truth. By taking away our sins through His baptism, the Lord has saved us from all our sins forever, as far as the east is from the west.
In Matthew 3:15-16, Jesus said just before being baptized by John the Baptist, “Thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” What does “all the righteousness of God” here mean? It refers, of course, to the work that Jesus did when He bore all the sins of this world through His baptism. When the Lord came to this world, the very first thing that He had to do to save sinners from their sins was bearing the sins of mankind once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist. That is why Jesus received His baptism from John the Baptist, to save every sinner in this world from its sins.
Therefore, it is because all the sins of this world were passed on to the body of Jesus through His baptism that He could be crucified and shed His blood of life as our propitiation. The baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist was the way of salvation for the Lord to bear your sins and mine on His body and wash them away once and for all, and if we believe in this, then all your sins and mine are indeed washed away. That Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist and shed His blood on the Cross is the work of salvation that has both washed away our sins and made atonement for them at the same time.
We must believe that the baptism Jesus received and the blood He shed on the Cross constitute the atonement of sacrifice He made for our sins. We must grasp here that because of the baptism of Jesus and His death on the Cross, we can now receive the washing of sins and their redemption into our hearts by faith. This means we must believe that the baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist and the blood He shed on the Cross are our atonement. Unless we have this faith, we will not be able to reach salvation despite believing in Jesus, and we will fall into a folly instead, trying to wash away our sins with our own prayers of repentance in vain like the religious practitioners of the world.
Jesus Himself bore all the sins of mankind once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist. Having thus taken upon all our sins on His body, Jesus went to the Cross and bore the punishment of our sins for us, and He has thereby forever saved us who believe in this Truth. By taking away our sins through His baptism, the Lord has saved us from all our sins forever, as far as the east is from the west.
Our True Remission of Sins
Without the sacrifice of atonement that our Jesus offered by being baptized by John the Baptist to bear our sins and shedding His blood on the Cross, your sins and mine cannot be washed away, and that is why He carried out His work of salvation. If Jesus shed His blood for us without receiving His baptism from John the Baptist, then it can be said that such an act is neither righteous nor just. We must realize here that when we believe in Jesus as our Savior, our sins are truly blotted out only if we first realize and believe that Jesus bore our sins through the baptism He received from John the Baptist. I can tell you that true salvation cannot be reached without faith in the Truth of the baptism of Jesus and His blood. If you believe right now that the remission of sins is received into your heart just by believing in the crucified Jesus, then this is no different from believing in a worldly religion. That’s because worldly religions say that you can think of and believe in your salvation in whatever way you want.
However, God is saying that Jesus His Son was baptized by John the Baptist to save His people from their sins. If Jesus had sacrificed Himself for our atonement by being crucified without first receiving His baptism, this would be akin to a sinner offering an unlawful sacrifice in Old Testament times by just killing his sacrificial animal without laying his hands on its head and passing his sins to it first. Such a gospel and such faith are not the real Truth of salvation, and therefore they are also far removed from the Truth of regeneration.
Today, for us to also have the same faith that the saints in the Early Church had, we must be saved by believing in the justice of the Lord, who bore the sins of this world once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist, was crucified, and thus sacrificed Himself as the propitiation for our sins. We must believe that the baptism of the Lord and His blood constitute the justice of Jesus Christ that He fulfilled to save us from our sins. It is through faith in the Lord’s baptism and His blood on the Cross that we can become Jesus’ disciples. We must believe in the baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist and the blood on the Cross as our salvation that has now delivered us from all sins.
It is only if we believe in Jesus’ baptism and blood as our salvation that we can say that we have been truly saved from all sins. To save us from all sins, Jesus had to be baptized by John the Baptist, and only then could He be crucified, pay off the wages of our sins with the punishment He bore, and become our Savior now. Only if Jesus accepted our sins on to His body as our propitiation could our sins be washed away once and for all.
When we look at the faith of today’s Christians professing to believe only in the precious blood that Jesus shed on the Cross, we see them claiming that they can be washed from their sins with just the blood of Jesus, without passing their sins to Him first. However, it is absolutely critical for you to realize here that Jesus could shed His precious blood on the Cross precisely because He had first accepted your sins through the baptism He received from John the Baptist.
Today, when Christians believe in the crucified Jesus as their Savior, they don’t really think about the sins they would come to commit in the future. Since they believe in just the Cross without giving any thought to how Jesus bore the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist as written in Matthew 3:13-17, they have turned into mere religious practitioners who feel compelled to pray every day to try to wash away their sins. This came about because insofar as they believe in Jesus as their Savior, they do so while leaving out the work He carried out by bearing the sins of this world through His baptism. Today’s Christians who believe in just the crucified Jesus are incapable of making the connection between His baptism and the washing of their sins and believing accordingly, and therefore their faith leaves out Jesus’ immensely important work of baptism.
Not knowing the Truth that Jesus accepted the sins of this world once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist and carried them to the Cross, these Christians only know that Jesus was crucified, and they believe in this crucified Jesus as their Savior. Consequently, they have chosen to rely on their own prayers of repentance to try to address the sins they commit every day. Because they are completely ignorant of the Truth that their sins are washed away by believing in the baptism of Jesus, even at this very moment they are still hanging on to the Cross alone, asking the Lord to wash away all the sins they commit.
After trying to be remitted from their daily sins with their prayers of repentance, they eventually come to feel ashamed of themselves before the crucified Jesus. So, ultimately, they end up giving up on their lives of faith. They cannot help but see that their faith is always lacking, for their everyday sins are too many. As a result, they feel that giving prayers of repentance is not enough. Since they have not yet been able to address their sins with the Word of the baptism that Jesus received, they are doomed to live as a sinner always. That is why we must now wash away all your sins and mine by believing in the fact that Jesus bore them once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist. And we must believe that Jesus’ blood on the Cross was for the punishment of our sins now. It is because Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist that He had to carry them to the Cross, shed His blood, and die in our place.
We need to grasp here that Christians these days are increasingly falling into spiritual stagnation because they cannot get their sins addressed by believing in just the precious blood that Jesus shed on the Cross. You can be washed from your sins now, but only if you believe that Jesus is your Savior who bore the sins of this world through His baptism and shed His blood on the Cross. You must know how God’s love for you and me has been revealed. You must realize that God’s love has been revealed to us now because Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist, the representative of mankind, and died on the Cross.
When Jesus used the word “thus” right before He was baptized by John the Baptist, He was speaking of the baptism through which He would take away your sins and mine once and for all. And after receiving His baptism, Jesus was crucified and shed His precious blood on the Cross, and with this He is now showing God’s love to mankind.
Where are your sins now then? Are they still in your heart, or have they been passed on to the body of Jesus? Do you believe in the fact that Jesus bore all your sins and mine in this world on His own body and took them away once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist? Or are your sins still remaining in your heart, because you still do not know this fact and therefore believe in just the crucified Jesus? If you really knew the love of Jesus who bore the sins of this world through His baptism, could there be any sin left in your heart now? No, of course not! Don’t you agree? It is indeed impossible! Are you and I then guilty sinners, or are we the righteous who have received the remission of sins by believing in the baptism of Jesus and His blood? We are the righteous!
If you live your life of faith by believing in just the Cross and the doctrine of repentance as you are doing now, you will fall into a grave error. Not knowing that your sins were passed to Jesus through His baptism, you are trying to be washed from your sins with your daily prayers of repentance, but this is impossible. If it were really possible for us to wash away our sins by giving prayers of repentance to the Lord, then this would be the correct thing to do. However, if you were to give prayers of repentance every time you sin like this, you will actually fall into even greater despair the more you pray. You will then be trapped in a worldly religion and it will be impossible for you to escape from there. You must realize the fact that every human heart’s sins are followed by God’s judgment without fail. Everyone’s sins are written in the tablet of the heart, and so anyone who has even a tiny sin knows himself that he must be condemned by God for his sin. We must be saved by believing in the Truth proclaiming that the baptism of Jesus and His blood on the Cross are our salvation. This Truth of regeneration can be realized from the Word that the Lord has spoken to us.
As we know, the gift of salvation fulfilled with the baptism of Jesus and His blood is everlasting life for the believers. That the gift of salvation in the Lord is eternal life here means this: to bear our sins, the Lord took upon the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River, was crucified, and shed His blood; and this Word is the gift of salvation that makes it possible for us to receive the remission of sins. And if you have faith in Jesus as your Savior who bore the sins of this world through His baptism and carried them to the Cross, you will receive the everlasting remission of sins and eternal life.
If you believe in the baptism of the Lord and His blood, you will find peace that comes from the Lord. So I urge you to be a believer, realizing that this Truth of atonement that the Lord fulfilled by being baptized by John the Baptist and shedding His blood for us constitutes all the righteousness of God for us. With the prayers of repentance that you have been giving by trusting in just the Cross, you cannot wash away your sins ever. Let us therefore believe now in the baptism of Jesus and His precious blood on the Cross, reach our salvation by this faith, keep our faith as the righteous, and live with thanksgiving!
If you yourself can see that you cannot wash away your sins white as snow with the prayers of repentance you are offering based on your faith in the Word of the Cross alone, now it is time for you to look for a new alternative. We know that our Lord bore and washed away all our sins in the world once and for all with the baptism He received from John the Baptist, and as such people, we must pray to the Lord in our lives, so that the washing of our sins is fortified by our faith in the Lord’s righteousness.
As we carry on with our lives, we must hold on to the Word of the baptism of Jesus by faith. We must believe even more unwaveringly that Jesus bore our sins by being baptized by John the Baptist. And we must believe that Jesus bore our condemnation by being crucified and shedding His blood. You must also realize that the prayers of repentance you have been offering so diligently are full of problems. You must know and believe that the sins of this world were passed on to Jesus through the Word of the baptism that our Lord received from John the Baptist. In short, you must grasp and believe the fact that it is because Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist that He ended the condemnation of our sins by shedding His blood and dying on the Cross.
If you believe in Jesus as your Savior, you can receive the everlasting remission of sins through your faith in the work of salvation the Lord carried out by being baptized by John the Baptist and shedding His blood. This is the Truth. So let us realize and believe in the Word of baptism, that the Lord accepted all our sins once and for all through His baptism, and let us be washed from our sins. We ought to be grateful that we can receive the everlasting remission of sins into our hearts by believing that Jesus, who went to the Cross and shed His blood to death on it, is the Lord who bore the condemnation of our sins.
Let us know and believe that the baptism that Jesus Christ received from John the Baptist and His blood have now delivered us from our sins and condemnation. Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all through His baptism, and believing in Him as our Savior is a righteous act of faith before God. We must believe that the baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist and the blood He shed on the Cross are the means by which Jesus washed away your sins and mine and bore their condemnation, and that they constitute the gospel Word that is indispensable for our salvation. You ought to believe in our Lord’s righteous work of salvation with thanksgiving.
However, God is saying that Jesus His Son was baptized by John the Baptist to save His people from their sins. If Jesus had sacrificed Himself for our atonement by being crucified without first receiving His baptism, this would be akin to a sinner offering an unlawful sacrifice in Old Testament times by just killing his sacrificial animal without laying his hands on its head and passing his sins to it first. Such a gospel and such faith are not the real Truth of salvation, and therefore they are also far removed from the Truth of regeneration.
Today, for us to also have the same faith that the saints in the Early Church had, we must be saved by believing in the justice of the Lord, who bore the sins of this world once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist, was crucified, and thus sacrificed Himself as the propitiation for our sins. We must believe that the baptism of the Lord and His blood constitute the justice of Jesus Christ that He fulfilled to save us from our sins. It is through faith in the Lord’s baptism and His blood on the Cross that we can become Jesus’ disciples. We must believe in the baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist and the blood on the Cross as our salvation that has now delivered us from all sins.
It is only if we believe in Jesus’ baptism and blood as our salvation that we can say that we have been truly saved from all sins. To save us from all sins, Jesus had to be baptized by John the Baptist, and only then could He be crucified, pay off the wages of our sins with the punishment He bore, and become our Savior now. Only if Jesus accepted our sins on to His body as our propitiation could our sins be washed away once and for all.
When we look at the faith of today’s Christians professing to believe only in the precious blood that Jesus shed on the Cross, we see them claiming that they can be washed from their sins with just the blood of Jesus, without passing their sins to Him first. However, it is absolutely critical for you to realize here that Jesus could shed His precious blood on the Cross precisely because He had first accepted your sins through the baptism He received from John the Baptist.
Today, when Christians believe in the crucified Jesus as their Savior, they don’t really think about the sins they would come to commit in the future. Since they believe in just the Cross without giving any thought to how Jesus bore the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist as written in Matthew 3:13-17, they have turned into mere religious practitioners who feel compelled to pray every day to try to wash away their sins. This came about because insofar as they believe in Jesus as their Savior, they do so while leaving out the work He carried out by bearing the sins of this world through His baptism. Today’s Christians who believe in just the crucified Jesus are incapable of making the connection between His baptism and the washing of their sins and believing accordingly, and therefore their faith leaves out Jesus’ immensely important work of baptism.
Not knowing the Truth that Jesus accepted the sins of this world once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist and carried them to the Cross, these Christians only know that Jesus was crucified, and they believe in this crucified Jesus as their Savior. Consequently, they have chosen to rely on their own prayers of repentance to try to address the sins they commit every day. Because they are completely ignorant of the Truth that their sins are washed away by believing in the baptism of Jesus, even at this very moment they are still hanging on to the Cross alone, asking the Lord to wash away all the sins they commit.
After trying to be remitted from their daily sins with their prayers of repentance, they eventually come to feel ashamed of themselves before the crucified Jesus. So, ultimately, they end up giving up on their lives of faith. They cannot help but see that their faith is always lacking, for their everyday sins are too many. As a result, they feel that giving prayers of repentance is not enough. Since they have not yet been able to address their sins with the Word of the baptism that Jesus received, they are doomed to live as a sinner always. That is why we must now wash away all your sins and mine by believing in the fact that Jesus bore them once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist. And we must believe that Jesus’ blood on the Cross was for the punishment of our sins now. It is because Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist that He had to carry them to the Cross, shed His blood, and die in our place.
We need to grasp here that Christians these days are increasingly falling into spiritual stagnation because they cannot get their sins addressed by believing in just the precious blood that Jesus shed on the Cross. You can be washed from your sins now, but only if you believe that Jesus is your Savior who bore the sins of this world through His baptism and shed His blood on the Cross. You must know how God’s love for you and me has been revealed. You must realize that God’s love has been revealed to us now because Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist, the representative of mankind, and died on the Cross.
When Jesus used the word “thus” right before He was baptized by John the Baptist, He was speaking of the baptism through which He would take away your sins and mine once and for all. And after receiving His baptism, Jesus was crucified and shed His precious blood on the Cross, and with this He is now showing God’s love to mankind.
Where are your sins now then? Are they still in your heart, or have they been passed on to the body of Jesus? Do you believe in the fact that Jesus bore all your sins and mine in this world on His own body and took them away once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist? Or are your sins still remaining in your heart, because you still do not know this fact and therefore believe in just the crucified Jesus? If you really knew the love of Jesus who bore the sins of this world through His baptism, could there be any sin left in your heart now? No, of course not! Don’t you agree? It is indeed impossible! Are you and I then guilty sinners, or are we the righteous who have received the remission of sins by believing in the baptism of Jesus and His blood? We are the righteous!
If you live your life of faith by believing in just the Cross and the doctrine of repentance as you are doing now, you will fall into a grave error. Not knowing that your sins were passed to Jesus through His baptism, you are trying to be washed from your sins with your daily prayers of repentance, but this is impossible. If it were really possible for us to wash away our sins by giving prayers of repentance to the Lord, then this would be the correct thing to do. However, if you were to give prayers of repentance every time you sin like this, you will actually fall into even greater despair the more you pray. You will then be trapped in a worldly religion and it will be impossible for you to escape from there. You must realize the fact that every human heart’s sins are followed by God’s judgment without fail. Everyone’s sins are written in the tablet of the heart, and so anyone who has even a tiny sin knows himself that he must be condemned by God for his sin. We must be saved by believing in the Truth proclaiming that the baptism of Jesus and His blood on the Cross are our salvation. This Truth of regeneration can be realized from the Word that the Lord has spoken to us.
As we know, the gift of salvation fulfilled with the baptism of Jesus and His blood is everlasting life for the believers. That the gift of salvation in the Lord is eternal life here means this: to bear our sins, the Lord took upon the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River, was crucified, and shed His blood; and this Word is the gift of salvation that makes it possible for us to receive the remission of sins. And if you have faith in Jesus as your Savior who bore the sins of this world through His baptism and carried them to the Cross, you will receive the everlasting remission of sins and eternal life.
If you believe in the baptism of the Lord and His blood, you will find peace that comes from the Lord. So I urge you to be a believer, realizing that this Truth of atonement that the Lord fulfilled by being baptized by John the Baptist and shedding His blood for us constitutes all the righteousness of God for us. With the prayers of repentance that you have been giving by trusting in just the Cross, you cannot wash away your sins ever. Let us therefore believe now in the baptism of Jesus and His precious blood on the Cross, reach our salvation by this faith, keep our faith as the righteous, and live with thanksgiving!
If you yourself can see that you cannot wash away your sins white as snow with the prayers of repentance you are offering based on your faith in the Word of the Cross alone, now it is time for you to look for a new alternative. We know that our Lord bore and washed away all our sins in the world once and for all with the baptism He received from John the Baptist, and as such people, we must pray to the Lord in our lives, so that the washing of our sins is fortified by our faith in the Lord’s righteousness.
As we carry on with our lives, we must hold on to the Word of the baptism of Jesus by faith. We must believe even more unwaveringly that Jesus bore our sins by being baptized by John the Baptist. And we must believe that Jesus bore our condemnation by being crucified and shedding His blood. You must also realize that the prayers of repentance you have been offering so diligently are full of problems. You must know and believe that the sins of this world were passed on to Jesus through the Word of the baptism that our Lord received from John the Baptist. In short, you must grasp and believe the fact that it is because Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist that He ended the condemnation of our sins by shedding His blood and dying on the Cross.
If you believe in Jesus as your Savior, you can receive the everlasting remission of sins through your faith in the work of salvation the Lord carried out by being baptized by John the Baptist and shedding His blood. This is the Truth. So let us realize and believe in the Word of baptism, that the Lord accepted all our sins once and for all through His baptism, and let us be washed from our sins. We ought to be grateful that we can receive the everlasting remission of sins into our hearts by believing that Jesus, who went to the Cross and shed His blood to death on it, is the Lord who bore the condemnation of our sins.
Let us know and believe that the baptism that Jesus Christ received from John the Baptist and His blood have now delivered us from our sins and condemnation. Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all through His baptism, and believing in Him as our Savior is a righteous act of faith before God. We must believe that the baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist and the blood He shed on the Cross are the means by which Jesus washed away your sins and mine and bore their condemnation, and that they constitute the gospel Word that is indispensable for our salvation. You ought to believe in our Lord’s righteous work of salvation with thanksgiving.
Are You Standing on Your Faith in the Baptism of the Lord and His Blood?
The Lord is telling you and me now to believe that Jesus is the Savior of mankind. We must believe in Jesus as our Savior, who bore the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and died on the Cross. It is written in Luke 23:35-38: “And the people stood looking on. But even the rulers with them sneered, saying, ‘He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God.’ The soldiers also mocked Him, coming and offering Him sour wine, and saying, ‘If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself.’ And an inscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
The “Apostles’ Creed,” which today’s descendants of the Protestant reformers cherish so much, has originated from the Nicene Creed. Left out of the Nicene Creed was the fact that Jesus bore the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist. As the Nicene Creed has been passed down intact to this day and Christians believe accordingly, they have all known just the crucified Jesus as their Savior. This kind of faith is placed in just the Cross, leaving out Jesus’ work of bearing the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist. Today, the descendants of the Protestant reformers do not know Jesus properly, oblivious to the fact He bore the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist, shed His blood, and died on the Cross.
Therefore, we must now reinsert the Word of the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist into the Apostles’ Creed and believe again properly. We must preach the Truth for everyone to know that Jesus bore all the sins of mankind through the baptism He received from John the Baptist. If we really believe in Jesus as our Savior, we are duty-bound to reinsert the work of the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist into the Apostles’ Creed and believe accordingly, so that countless Christians living in this world can also receive the grace of salvation to be delivered from their sins by knowing and believing in the baptism of Jesus.
Why did Jesus come to this world? We must believe that it was to deliver all mankind who had fallen into the sins of this world, and to end our sins and our punishment of sins by being baptized by John the Baptist and crucified to death Himself. That is why Jesus bore the sins of this world on His body once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist at the age of 30, went to the Cross, was crucified, and shed His blood to death. And He has permitted the everlasting remission of sins to all those who believe in His baptism and blood. Jesus accepted the sins of the entire human race once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist, was crucified, shed His blood, and rose from the dead again. Therefore, from now on, we must believe in the Jesus Christ who came to this earth by the water and the Spirit, and we must thereby be born again from our sins. The Lord is the Savior of all those who believe in His work of the water and His work of the condemnation of sins. We must be believers in our Lord’s baptism and blood.
There are those in this world who have been hiding the fact that Jesus took away the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist, and these people depict Jesus as having saved mankind just on the Cross. And they speak as though those who believe in the Cross alone are the only orthodox Christians on this earth. However, the Jesus revealed in Scripture is testifying that He bore and washed away the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist.
The makers of the Nicene Creed in Late Antiquity not only believed in the crucified Jesus as the Savior themselves, but they also spread it so that everyone in the world would also believe so. Because they left out the Word of the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist, and because their descendants also taught doctrines based on the Nicene Creed so that no one would know about the baptism of Jesus, countless people over the last 1,700 years came to believe in just the Cross as their salvation, even to this very day. The Nicene Creed promulgated in Late Antiquity is still misguiding today’s Christians to the crucified Jesus, leaving out the Truth that Jesus bore the sins of mankind once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist. Like this, Christians today have a flawed understanding of the Truth of salvation, as they misconstrue Jesus to have saved them just by shedding His blood on the Cross. They find themselves offering their own prayers of repentance obsessively to try to wash away their everyday sins.
There are many leaders in today’s Christian communities with such flawed spiritual knowledge. Since they do not know that Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all through His baptism, they cannot preach it either. This is an even more serious problem for Christians today. These leaders are misguiding people, killing the innocent souls that need not die for their sins while trying to save those who cannot be saved.
It is because Jesus bore the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist that He shed His blood on the Cross and sacrificed Himself as the propitiation for our sins. So how can the Truth of this baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist be left out of the Apostles’ Creed? How can anyone omit the Word of the baptism of Jesus and preach just the crucified Jesus as the Savior?
I am now introducing and preaching to you what was left out of the Nicene Creed—the Truth that Jesus bore the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist. I hope and pray that all of us would now believe in the Word of the baptism of Jesus written in both testaments of the Bible. The Old Testament shows us how the iniquities of a sinner were passed on to his sacrificial animal through the laying on of hands. In The New Testament, the Bible shows us how Jesus accepted the sins of this world on His body once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist. The Old Testament’s laying on of hands and the New Testament’s baptism are related to each other. Because Jesus accepted the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist, He was crucified to death as its consequence. All of us must grasp this fact.
Just as every cause has an effect, it is because Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist that He could go to the Cross and shed His blood. Like this, because Jesus took upon the sins of this world once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist, was crucified, shed His blood on the Cross, and rose from this death again, it has now been made possible for all those who believe in the Word of the baptism of Jesus to pass their sins to Him. As such, if we believe in the baptism of Jesus and His blood as our salvation, we can receive the everlasting remission of all our sins.
I urge you all to recognize that Jesus has now become our Savior through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and His blood on the Cross. The Lord wants nothing from you but to believe that the baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist and the blood He shed constitute your salvation. Jesus wants you to believe that He has now become your everlasting propitiation by bearing the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist, being crucified while shouldering these sins, and shedding His blood.
The creators of the Nicene Creed recklessly left out the work that Jesus the Son of God carried out by bearing the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist, and with this act of omission, they committed a grave sin against God. How can it be said that it was just a small sin to omit the Word of the baptism of Jesus that washed away all the sins of mankind? All human beings are little more than mere creatures who must receive the remission of sins from God. Despite this, the makers of the Nicene Creed completed it while leaving out the work of the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist, and they called on everyone else to believe in this creed as if it were the fundamental dogma of Christianity.
Like this, they deceived people to believe in just Jesus’ Cross, making it impossible even for Christians today to be saved forever. They had created a religion as their political instrument to fulfill their own purposes. In fact, there was much that they gained from this. However, their souls ended up committing the sin of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. By omitting the baptism of Jesus from the Nicene Creed, they were seeking to achieve their political objectives. They probably didn’t know what a grave sin they were committing. It can be said that they pursued nothing in their lives but their own political interests.
Today, we should never allow ourselves to commit the same sin against God as these people did. Jesus bore the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist when He came to this earth, and it is absolutely not tenable for us to believe in Jesus while leaving out this work of the Lord. Given the fact that the One who judges everyone’s sins is God, we cannot afford to even consider having any kind of faith that omits the fact that this God personally bore the sins of mankind by being baptized. The advocates of the Apostles’ Creed left out the work that Jesus did by bearing the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist, and they hid this work from everyone else living in this world. There should not be anyone like them among Christians today. All human beings are God’s creatures, and if any of them commits such a sin, he will be condemned for the sin of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. If there is anyone right now who does not believe in the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist despite knowing the reason for it, such people will be forever accursed to never receive the washing of their sins.
As we know, even when it comes to today’s Christians who are the descendants of the Puritans, many of them believe in and preach only Jesus’ blood on the Cross while leaving out the fact that Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist. They are just like those who came up with the Nicene Creed while omitting the fact that Jesus bore the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist. They have turned into fraudsters, deceiving others so that they may not know that Jesus is the Savior who bore the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist and carried them to the Cross. People today who fall for such fraudsters’ deception are miserable beyond words, for they cannot be washed from their sins. By being baptized by John the Baptist, Jesus moved the sins of this world from us to His own body, and we must believe in this Jesus as our Savior. And we ought to thank our Lord for this.
Even though the history of Christianity spans over 2,000 years, Christians today still believe in just the crucified Jesus as their Savior, and as a result they have become mere practitioners of worldly religion. Because they do not believe in the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist, they are still living as sinners, unable to pass their sins by faith. So, they have turned into the children of the flesh who cannot bear any fruit of the Holy Spirit despite their wish. Christians today, especially church leaders, have inherited a flawed faith that left out the Word of the baptism of the washing of sins—that is, they do not believe that Jesus bore the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist—and because of this, they cannot be born again and they remain sinners no matter how much they believe in Jesus as their Savior.
In Christian communities today, there are many leaders who teach their congregation just theological doctrines while leaving out the baptism of Jesus. So, when their followers believe in the Word of the Cross preached by them, their sins end up still remaining in their hearts, and these sins only grow to bear evil fruits. These leaders, too, believe in the Nicene Creed, missing the Truth that Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist. Because they have inherited the faith of the Nicene Creed that omitted the fact that Jesus bore the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist, they, too, ended up speaking of Jesus’ Cross only. In short, today’s Christian leaders have turned into mere religious leaders, preaching just the Cross of Jesus to their congregation.
Therefore, the doctrine of the Cross that they believe in and preach folds its listeners into worldly religion, for it is not the Word of the baptism of the Lord. And these leaders have turned into religious trainers, shaping their congregation into docile followers volunteering their services, tithing, and dedicating themselves faithfully to their own church until death. Having omitted the work Jesus carried out by being baptized by John the Baptist and thus bearing the sins of this world, they neither believe in this work nor preach it to their congregation. As such, if they want to be washed from their sins, they must accept Jesus into their hearts and believe in Him as we do, that Jesus is the Savior who sacrificed Himself as our propitiation through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and the blood He shed on the Cross.
The “Apostles’ Creed,” which today’s descendants of the Protestant reformers cherish so much, has originated from the Nicene Creed.

Christians today, especially church leaders, have inherited a flawed faith that left out the Word of the baptism of the washing of sins—that is, they do not believe that Jesus bore the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist—and because of this, they cannot be born again and they remain sinners no matter how much they believe in Jesus as their Savior.
In Christian communities today, there are many leaders who teach their congregation just theological doctrines while leaving out the baptism of Jesus. So, when their followers believe in the Word of the Cross preached by them, their sins end up still remaining in their hearts, and these sins only grow to bear evil fruits. These leaders, too, believe in the Nicene Creed, missing the Truth that Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist. Because they have inherited the faith of the Nicene Creed that omitted the fact that Jesus bore the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist, they, too, ended up speaking of Jesus’ Cross only. In short, today’s Christian leaders have turned into mere religious leaders, preaching just the Cross of Jesus to their congregation.
Therefore, the doctrine of the Cross that they believe in and preach folds its listeners into worldly religion, for it is not the Word of the baptism of the Lord. And these leaders have turned into religious trainers, shaping their congregation into docile followers volunteering their services, tithing, and dedicating themselves faithfully to their own church until death. Having omitted the work Jesus carried out by being baptized by John the Baptist and thus bearing the sins of this world, they neither believe in this work nor preach it to their congregation. As such, if they want to be washed from their sins, they must accept Jesus into their hearts and believe in Him as we do, that Jesus is the Savior who sacrificed Himself as our propitiation through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and the blood He shed on the Cross.
Why Are You Still a Sinner Despite Believing in Jesus’ Blood?
What is the reason you are still a sinner despite believing in Jesus’ blood? It is because when it comes to believing in Jesus as the Savior, you know and believe in just the Word of the Cross. If you are still a sinner even after believing in Jesus as your Savior, it is all because you are stubbornly insisting on believing in just the blood of the crucified Jesus while leaving out the fact that He bore the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist. What are you relying on now? Are you trying to find the conviction of your salvation by believing in some theologians’ ideas? To put this question differently, do you believe that Jesus has saved you just by being crucified, all because you believe in the Nicene Creed that is at the root of the Apostles’ Creed that you know and believe in today?
Why must you remain a sinner despite professing to believe in Jesus as your Savior? It is because you rely on and believe in the Nicene Creed more than the Word of God. What you must realize here is that the claims made by theologians today are no more than theological doctrines, and they are also the words of human beings, who are mere creatures. In contrast, the Word of Scripture is the Word of God, so which of these two words should you hang on to and believe? I ask you to think long and hard about this, and I hope and pray that you would decide wisely to believe in the Lord Jesus who has blotted out the sins of this world with His baptism. All Christian believers today must recover and believe once again in the Truth omitted from the Nicene Creed, that Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist. They will then be able to receive the remission of sins through their faith in the salvation of the washing of sins that our Lord has fulfilled. When you believe in the Word of the baptism of Jesus through which He bore the sins of this world, it is then that all your sins are passed on to the body of Jesus, you die with Jesus, and you live again with Jesus. You can then realize clearly why Jesus was baptized and why He had to be crucified.
When you first believed in Jesus as your Savior, you should have realized the fact that He bore all your sins and mine once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist, and you should have believed in this along with the blood Jesus shed on the Cross. If you had done this, all the sins that were in your heart would have been passed on to the body of Jesus, and you would have been able to be born again by faith.
However, because you have believed only in Jesus’ Cross until now, your current faith does not recognize that Jesus bore all our sins once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist, just as it was left out of the Nicene Creed. I understand that some of you might be worried about ending up with the wrong faith if you abandon your current faith now and believe instead in the Word of the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist. Do not worry though, and I urge you to be saved from all sins by believing in the Word of the baptism that the Lord received and the blood He shed for you.
This kind of faith is only normal. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wholeheartedly believing in the Truth that Jesus bore our sins through His baptism and blood. On the contrary, it is wrong to not believe in the Word of the baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist, so I urge you to realize this, turn around, and believe now in the Word of the baptism of Jesus and His blood on the Cross. The Lord will then be rejoiced by you for believing in Jesus’ baptism and blood. This is because Jesus is the Savior who bore your sins and mine once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and His blood. We must therefore all realize here that the Lord is rejoiced when we believe that the work of the baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist and of the Cross is the work by which the Lord took upon our sins and bore their condemnation.
Since until now you have believed in the Word that is missing the baptism of Jesus, you have known just half the gospel. So I hope and pray that you would now stop causing the Lord’s heart to grieve by saying that you have been saved from all your sins by believing in just Jesus’ Cross. That is because those who believe in only the blood on the Cross are sinners always. God’s servants in the Early Church, such as the Apostle Paul and Peter, were also saved from all the sins of this world by believing in Jesus as their Savior who bore the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and shed His blood on the Cross, and they carried out their ministry dutifully by this faith until the day they met the Lord.
However, a Roman emperor in Late Antiquity spearheaded the effort to distort the faith of the Apostles by promulgating the Nicene Creed while omitting the Word of the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist. The faith that he made up with the Nicene Creed was not the faith of the Apostles of the Early Church, nor was it a faith that pleased the Lord, and instead it was a completely different, flawed faith. It is from then on that you were doomed to miss out on the blessings of the baptism of Jesus despite believing in Him. If you believe in the Cross with the baptism of Jesus left out, it can only mean that you are living as a practitioner of worldly religion.
When I look at cuckoos, I am reminded of those who claim that Christianity today is their national religion while omitting the Word of the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist. The cuckoos are brood parasites, opportunistically laying their eggs in the nests of other birds when they reproduce. Instead of raising their young themselves, they let other birds raise them. Once hatched in the nest of another bird, the cuckoo chick grows rapidly and pushes all the chicks of the host bird off the nest to achieve its objective.
Those who made the Nicene Creed did something similar. The saints of the Early Church believed wholeheartedly in the remission and atonement of sins fulfilled through the baptism of Jesus and His Cross. However, the participants attending the First Council of Nicaea held in AD 325 produced the Nicene Creed while omitting the Word of the baptism of Jesus. It is because of this creed that every Christian today is unable to know the Truth of the baptism of Jesus. The makers of the Nicene Creed left out the Word of the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist from the faith of the Apostles of the Early Church, and they created a universal religion suitable to their own taste. As a result, every Christian to this day came to believe in the crucified Jesus with the Word of the baptism of Jesus omitted, and they ended up falling into the religion that believes in just His Cross. Christians since then have been ignorant of the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist, and that is why they are now trying to wash away their sins with their own prayers of repentance. They have turned into mere practitioners of worldly religion.
Today, Protestant believers all over the world also have no clue that they have been deceived by the Nicene Creed. So they, too, have turned into religious practitioners relying on just Jesus’ Cross. Christians these days are completely oblivious that the Word of the Cross that they believe in solely as their salvation is actually missing the Word of the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist. This is because the leaders of the Reformation in the 16th century were unable to escape from the creed that had believed in only the Cross; far from it, they embellished it with the theological doctrines of their own making and misled even more Christians to believe in just the Cross. This is why Protestant believers ended up with the same faith as the Catholics. They think it is a completely normal Christian life to live as a sinner despite believing in the Word of the Cross of Jesus.
When todays’ church leaders who think and believe like this are told by someone, somewhere, that Jesus bore the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist, they say that this is not true, and they even blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Teaching just the Cross, they persecute those who believe in the Lord Jesus as their Savior who took upon their sins through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and bore their condemnation. They are completely ignorant of the baptism of Jesus. You need to realize here that today’s Christians who believe blindly do not even know that they are committing the sin of blaspheming the Holy Spirit.
Christians these days nod in approval when someone says that he is still a sinner despite believing in Jesus, praising such people’s faith. They do not know that Jesus bore the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist. All that they know is just the Cross, and they know nothing about how sinners are born again. So, they try to wash away their sins with their own prayers of repentance. It is not out of humility that they confess to be sinners truly, but it is because they cannot escape from their sins, for they believe in just the crucified Jesus. By believing in Jesus as their Savior blindly, they have become sinners more definitively.
Such Christians are sinners in God’s sight because they believe according to the Nicene Creed that an ancient Roman emperor made to pursue the lust of his flesh while omitting the Word of the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist. Having also been deceived by those who believe in just the Cross, they, too, believe in the Cross alone as their salvation, and consequently they remain sinners along with their deceivers. If you are now making the same confession of faith as these people, then you must realize that you, too, are someone who believes in just the Nicene Creed and does not know the work of the baptism of Jesus. Therefore, such people must realize the fact that Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all through the baptism He received, believe in it, and be remitted from their sins by this faith. This, however, does not mean that I am denying Jesus’ blood on the Cross, for Jesus’ shedding of blood is a consequence of the baptism He received from John the Baptist. So I hope no one misunderstands me and starts spreading false rumors about me.
It is very important for us to recognize that some Christians are now no different from idolators worshiping this world’s religion, for they deny the Truth that Jesus bore the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist. Jesus is the Lord who has now saved you and me by being baptized by John the Baptist, bearing the sins of mankind on His body, and being crucified. You and I must believe in this Jesus who was baptized by John the Baptist for us, and thus wash away our sins.
To repeat, you must realize that Christians today remain sinners because from the day the Nicene Creed was promulgated until now, they have believed in a gospel that is missing the Truth that Jesus bore the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist. You must recognize that you have not been able to pass your heart’s sins to Jesus, muster courage once more, and believe that Jesus accepted your sins and mine once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and carried these sins of the world to the Cross. Know that this is your last chance to please Jesus with faith, who has saved us from the sins of this world, and do not miss it. I beseech you to realize that your salvation is fulfilled through the baptism of the Lord and His blood.
When Jesus was crucified on both His hands and feet to shed His blood to death, three crosses erected on Mount Golgotha. You should know that Jesus was crucified because of the baptism He received from John the Baptist. It is because Jesus was carrying the sins of this world on His own body that He Himself was crucified, shed His blood, and died for us. Let us all realize and believe this fact. Let us all thus be saved from our sins forever. It is written in the Book of Isaiah from the Old Testament, “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities” (Isaiah 53:5). This passage is the Word that bears witness of the Lord’s work.
At the time of Jesus’ crucifixion, the soldiers mocked Him even more, saying to Him, “If You are the Christ sent from God, save Yourself. Did You not say that You were the Son of God? If You are the King of kings, the Creator and the Savior, then save Yourself first.” They ridiculed Him like this.
Even so, Jesus still endured such humiliations in order to take care of all the sins of this world. It is because of the baptism He received from John the Baptist that He was now being crucified and shedding His blood to death. We must therefore realize and believe that we can now receive the everlasting remission of sins through the work of the baptism of Jesus and His Cross. That Jesus was baptized and bore the condemnation of the sins of mankind by being crucified means that our Lord sacrificed Himself as our propitiation in your place and mine.
We must be saved from all our sins by believing in the baptism of Jesus and His blood so that we may be able to praise our Lord, and this is the right faith to have. Therefore, we must all believe in the fact that when the Lord came to this world, He bore the sins of every sinner in this world by being baptized by John the Baptist, and we must also realize and believe that the Lord offered Himself as the propitiation for our sins. All of us must now recognize that the sacrifice of Jesus who offered Himself as the propitiation for our sins was for our salvation. We reach salvation only if we know and believe that the baptism of Jesus and His blood were for offering the sacrifice of our atonement. We can receive eternal life only by believing that Jesus became our everlasting propitiation with the baptism He received from John the Baptist and His blood on the Cross.
Because Jesus accepted the sins of this world once and for all on His own body through His baptism, He went to the Cross and made Himself the Lamb of sacrifice for our sins. For all of us who now believe that Jesus sacrificed Himself as the propitiation for mankind with His baptism and blood, He has saved us from all our sins once and for all. So let us all praise our Lord, for we believe that He is our precious propitiation. Hallelujah!
Jesus Christ our Lord is the Son of God, and as the Lamb of God, He bore the sins of this world once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist, was crucified to death, and thereby completed His work of salvation once and for all to deliver all believers from their sins. That is why John the Baptist, who baptized Jesus, could bear witness and say, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” (John 1:29) As we know, Jesus is the Son of God whom God the Father sent to this earth, and He is also the Lamb sent to this earth by God. He is the One who shouldered the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist, carried them to the Cross, and has thereby fulfilled our salvation. Because Jesus Christ bore the sins of mankind through the baptism He received from John the Baptist, He carried the sins of this world to the Cross, was crucified, and shed His blood to death, thereby completing His work of salvation once and for all and delivering all sinners from all their sins as their Savior. Jesus is the Lamb of God, and He is the Savior who bore the sins of every sinner in this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and died for them. Like this, the righteous Jesus was baptized and crucified to become your Savior and mine, and He has given the everlasting remission of sins and eternal life to all those who believe in the salvation He is offering us. He has blessed everyone who now believes in this fact to receive salvation and everlasting life. Let us all believe in the baptism our Lord received and the blood He shed for us, and let us confirm our remission of sins with this faith. Let us thank our Lord and glorify Him!
The Lord has now given us such blessings of salvation through the sacrifice He made for us with His baptism and blood. Let us believe in the baptism the Lord received and the blood He shed for us, and through this faith, let us receive and enjoy the peace and grace of salvation the Lord is bestowing on our hearts. And by this faith, let us also receive the gift of the remission of sins and the Holy Spirit our Lord is offering us, and let us thank Him for this. As our everlasting Savior on this earth, Jesus is now blessing us all. Let us now believe in the sacrifice of atonement that Jesus offered with His baptism and blood for our salvation, thank Him for it, and accept it into our hearts by faith! With our faith, let us thank the Lord for blessing us to be saved forever.

Just as Every Food Has a Shelf Life, So Does Your Faith Have a Shelf Life
I am sure you all know that every food has a shelf life. You need to realize that your faith in the sacrifice Jesus made on the Cross also has a shelf life. Even if you believe now that you have been washed from all your sins by believing in just the Word of the Cross, after about a decade goes by, you will be able to see that this faith of yours is about to expire. This is because you do not have faith in both the baptism of Jesus and His blood on the Cross.
What is the faith that enables us to be born again of water and the Spirit as Jesus told us in the Bible? It is faith in the true salvation that Jesus has fulfilled by bearing the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and shedding His sacrificial blood on the Cross for our sins in our place. That is why I am saying that even though you now believe that the Cross alone is your salvation, the emotions you are feeling from this faith cannot last that long. Your belief that the Lord shed His blood on the Cross for your sins is emotionally driven, and therefore its shelf life will get shorter and shorter as more time goes by, and it will eventually disappear. Because such faith is rooted in your own emotional feelings about the sacrifice Jesus made on the Cross, it is bound to fade away in time.
Christians who have this kind of faith believe in Jesus’ Cross emotionally and feel indebted to it, and since they have been deceived by their own emotions, they think they believe in the Lord as their Savior. However, with passing time, their emotionally driven faith in Jesus will hit its limit, and they will ultimately stop believing in Him. If you want to know and believe in Jesus properly as your Savior, you must first use your intellectual faculty to understand the salvation that Jesus has fulfilled with His baptism and His blood on the Cross. You must first understand when, where, and how Jesus moved your sins from you to Himself, and then believe based on this understanding.
When you first believed in Jesus as your Savior, did you do so knowing when and how Jesus accepted our sins on His own body? For you to have the faith to be born again of water and the Spirit, you must grasp the Truth that Jesus took upon your sins and mine through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and bore the condemnation of our sins by shedding His blood and dying on the Cross. Only when you understand this Truth can you have the faith to be born again. If you do not know the baptism that the Lord received from John the Baptist and enough time has gone by since you first believed in His blood on the Cross, then by now, the effects of the faith you first placed in His sacrifice on the Cross would be crashing.
If I am right about your faith’s prognosis, by now the beliefs that you held all this time would be gone, joy would start fading away from your heart for sadness and depression to take over it, and you would be living in even greater darkness as a sinner before the Lord. That is why God our Father is telling us now to be born again by believing in the baptism and blood of His Son Jesus. This means we must believe that Jesus offered the sacrifice of our atonement with the baptism He received from John the Baptist and the blood He shed on the Cross. Everywhere in the Bible, the Lord is telling us repeatedly that we must know and believe in His baptism and His blood on the Cross.
The faith we must have before the Lord is faith in the baptism of Jesus and His blood. However, because you believe only in the Cross, this faith’s shelf life is almost over. God the Father is telling us that the Truth of the baptism and blood of His Son is now our salvation. He is saying that your soul is still bound by your sins because you do not believe that the Word of the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist is the Word of salvation that can wash away your sins. You and I believe in Jesus as our Savior, but if you are trying to be saved from your sins by believing in just the crucified Jesus without the baptism He received from John the Baptist, then you must turn around now from such a religious faith, believe in the baptism that our Lord received and the blood He shed, and be washed from your sins.
Your present faith is just like the faith of Constantine and his followers at the First Council of Nicaea who omitted the Word that Jesus bore the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist. You need to realize that they came up with the Nicene Creed and passed its faith down to you. You have believed just like them to this day, thinking that faith in the Cross only as manifested in the Nicene Creed is the faith that saves you, but now that a lot of time has gone by, you are realizing that its effects are all gone. The power of all man-made religions, beliefs, and doctrines are bound to fade away and disappear with passing time. Your current faith in just the Cross is such that the more time goes by, the more its effects will fade away and vanish from your heart. If you have believed in Jesus and followed Him by placing your faith in just the Cross as manifested in the man-made Nicene Creed, then this faith would have been enough to turn you into a worldly religious practitioner who, having made himself a sinner, tries to wash away his sins every day.
If, in contrast, you have believed in the Word of both the baptism and blood of Jesus, then you would have been saved from all your sins, this faith would be shining even more with passing time, and you would have been proud to see yourself spreading this light of salvation to others. Tragically, however, so many Christians over the last 1,700 years have believed in just the Cross as their salvation while leaving out the Word of the baptism of Jesus. It is because they are standing on this kind of faith that they are perishing as sinners along with those who distorted the true gospel. Even at this very moment, there are countless people who are building the foundation of their faith on a creed that is missing the Word of the baptism of Jesus. It breaks my heart to see this. In the end, if there is any sin remaining in your heart, it is because you could not make the connection between the baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist and the blood He shed on the Cross and believe in both as one salvation.
Because so many people were so ignorant of the Word of the baptism of Jesus that was left out of the Nicene Creed, they couldn’t help but believe that the blood on the Cross alone was their salvation. Such a tragedy happened to not only us today but also the Protestant reformers in the 1500s. Wholly inheriting the same Catholic faith in the Word of the Cross only, they ended up propagating this faith throughout Christianity today and turned every Christian into a sinner who believes in Jesus.
The four Gospels in the New Testament first record the Word of the baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist. They write that Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all on His body by being baptized. Despite this, Emperor Constantine omitted the Word of the baptism of Jesus from the Nicene Creed, misleading everyone to believe only in the crucifixion of Jesus, and even the Protestant reformers inherited this faith in its entirety. That is why today’s Protestants, who are their descendants, have come to confess that they are sinners who have been saved by believing in Jesus’ Cross alone.
Like this, because the Protestant reformers in the 16th century taught their followers to believe in the Word of the Cross as their salvation, even today, every Protestant believer is still a sinner with a guilty heart despite believing in Jesus. Therefore, it is absolutely imperative for us to believe in both the baptism of Jesus and His blood on the Cross as one set, and to thus get the problem of our sins solved. What we must realize clearly here is that if you and I believe in Jesus without even understanding the significance of His baptism, then we cannot be washed from all our sins with His blood alone.
Those who believe in just the Cross of Jesus have not been saved from their sins, and they are just leading a religious life in the world. With His baptism and His blood on the Cross, Jesus has washed away all our sins forever and at once. When we believe in this Truth of salvation, we can receive the remission of sins into our hearts and find peace. This means God the Father made His Son Jesus bear our sins once and for all by being baptized, shed His blood and die on the Cross, and rise from the dead again; and God has thereby forever saved those who believe in Jesus today as their Savior from all the sins of the world. In short, our salvation was fulfilled with the baptism of Jesus our propitiation together with His Cross.
The baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist has the same attributes as the laying on of hands in the Old Testament, through which sinners’ iniquities were passed on to the sacrificial animal in the Tabernacle. Just as sinners in the Old Testament passed their sins to the sacrificial animal by laying their hands on its head, so did Jesus accept all your sins and mine once and for all through the baptism John the Baptist gave Him. He was then crucified and died in our place, thus making it possible for us to be delivered from our sins. By bearing the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist, being crucified and shedding His blood on the Cross, and rising from the dead again, Jesus could give the eternal remission of sins to you and me who now believe in this Truth of salvation. The Lord Himself was baptized by John the Baptist to take upon our sins once and for all, made atonement for our sins by shedding His blood and dying on the Cross, rose from the dead to make the believers whole, and has thereby become our everlasting Savior. He is the Savior who has delivered us from all sins.
What is the faith that enables us to be born again of water and the Spirit as Jesus told us in the Bible? It is faith in the true salvation that Jesus has fulfilled by bearing the sins of this world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and shedding His sacrificial blood on the Cross for our sins in our place. That is why I am saying that even though you now believe that the Cross alone is your salvation, the emotions you are feeling from this faith cannot last that long. Your belief that the Lord shed His blood on the Cross for your sins is emotionally driven, and therefore its shelf life will get shorter and shorter as more time goes by, and it will eventually disappear. Because such faith is rooted in your own emotional feelings about the sacrifice Jesus made on the Cross, it is bound to fade away in time.
Christians who have this kind of faith believe in Jesus’ Cross emotionally and feel indebted to it, and since they have been deceived by their own emotions, they think they believe in the Lord as their Savior. However, with passing time, their emotionally driven faith in Jesus will hit its limit, and they will ultimately stop believing in Him. If you want to know and believe in Jesus properly as your Savior, you must first use your intellectual faculty to understand the salvation that Jesus has fulfilled with His baptism and His blood on the Cross.

The True “Repentance” That We Must Give before God
The repentance that all of us must give before God is premised on the desire to address all our sins by placing our faith in the baptism of Jesus and His blood. This is the true repentance. This kind of repentance is made based on faith in the baptism of Jesus and His sacrificial blood on the Cross. By believing in the Truth of salvation, we are able to be saved from all our sins.
That we must repent truly to be saved from all our sins absolutely does not mean that you and I are saved from our sins by offering our own prayers of repentance. Your true repentance before God is possible only if you believe in the Word that turns you around from the wrong path you have been on to this day—that is, the true gospel Word that makes you believe in the baptism and blood of Jesus. To return to and believe in the baptism that Jesus received to bear our sins and His blood is what it means to have the faith of true repentance. To have this faith in the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist and His blood is to have faith in the righteousness of the Lord who has saved us from all our sins, and returning to our Lord once and for all by this faith is what is meant by true repentance.
The Lord bore the sins of mankind once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist, was crucified while shouldering these sins of the world, shed His blood, and rose from the dead again. To believe in this Lord as your Savior now and be washed from all your heart’s sins is to have the faith of true repentance. The Lord approves of such people of faith for repenting the right way. Therefore, all of us must believe that the Lord took upon our sins by being baptized by John the Baptist, was crucified, and with this blood bore the punishment of our sins in our place; and by this faith, we must repent truly and return to our Lord.
To repent truly is to turn around from the evil work of Emperor Constantine that left out the work of the baptism of Jesus from the Nicene Creed and misled us to believe in just His Cross; to believe that Jesus took upon the sins of all mankind once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and bore the punishment of our sins in our place with the blood He shed on the Cross; and to be saved from all our sins by this faith in the Lord. It is such people whom the Lord approves of for repenting truly.
So, if we wish to repent truly before the Lord, let us have the faith that washes away all our hearts’ sins with His baptism and blood. The Lord will then approve of your faith and mine. Let us believe in the sacrifice the Lord made as the propitiation for our sins by being baptized and shedding His blood on the Cross, and let us now be washed from all our sins once and for all by faith. The Lord will then tell us that we have repented truly.
If you are now embarking on the road to believe in Jesus as your Savior, but someone is pointing out to you that you are actually heading into worldly religion, you ought to turn around from the mistaken path. You ought to do this if you can turn around from believing in just Jesus’ Cross, believe instead in the salvation that Jesus has fulfilled with His baptism and His blood on the Cross, and thus have the faith that enables you to be washed from your sins.
You may wonder if you really must do this, thinking that the difference between faith in just the Cross and faith in both the baptism and blood of the Lord is paper-thin. However, that is not the case in the realm of Truth. It’s this one small difference that saves your life. We can be washed from all our sins by placing our faith in the baptism of Jesus and His blood. It is after this that the Holy Spirit descends on you and you can have His guidance to learn how the born-again live out their faith.
In worldly churches, people are taught that their sins are blotted out if they offer prayers of repentance to Jesus. This kind of belief is a worldly and religious belief. However, if we turn around from our mistaken path and believe in the true baptism that the Lord received from John the Baptist and the blood He shed, then we can have the faith to walk on the right path of Truth. For us to repent genuinely before our Lord, we must believe that Jesus shouldered the sins of this world and bore their punishment with the baptism He received from John the Baptist and His blood, and this is what it means to repent truly.
The real Truth of salvation we must believe is the baptism of the washing of sins through which Jesus bore your sins and mine once and for all, the death He suffered on the Cross as the punishment of our sins to be condemned for them, and His resurrection; and it is through faith in this Truth that we receive salvation and eternal life. With the work of His baptism, Jesus took upon the sins of this world once and for all, was crucified, shed His blood and died on the Cross, and has thereby blessed those of us who believe in Him as our Savior to reach salvation from the sins of this world. The Word of Scripture is telling you now that Jesus could shoulder all your sins and mine once and for all thanks to the work of the baptism He received from John the Baptist, and that He is the living Lord who has saved you and me from all the sins of this world by dying on the Cross and rising from the dead again.
The Bible is saying to the entire human race that the baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist and the blood He shed constitute the Truth of salvation that the Lord bore your sins and mine and washed them away once and for all. I believe Jesus is the Lord who has saved us His believers from the sins of the world and condemnation by taking upon your sins and mine through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and bearing their condemnation by suffering the punishment of death on the Cross. All of us ought to believe in the Word of the washing of sins fulfilled with the work of the baptism that the Lord received for us, and at the same time believe also in the justice of the Lord who paid off the wages of our sins on the Cross. This is because Jesus has now saved us from all the sins of the world through the Word of the baptism He received from John the Baptist and His blood.
In my past, before I was born again, I used to struggle a whole week to prepare just a single sermon, but I don’t struggle like this anymore. This is because God is my Father, the Holy Spirit dwells in me, and I have in me the Word of the baptism that the Lord received from John the Baptist to save me from the sins of this world and His blood on the Cross. So I just preach this Word. When my heart has faith in the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist and His blood, what can ever make me a sinner again as I was before? Satan used to accuse me of sinfulness, but he was driven away once and for all thanks to the baptism of the Lord and His blood. My sins used to haunt me so much in the past, but now, Jesus has saved me from my sins through His baptism and His blood on the Cross, so who can ever say that I have any sin? With this faith of mine, I thank the Lord for blotting out all my sins by being baptized and shedding His blood. Hallelujah!
I am preaching about your salvation by faith, not according to any theological doctrines but according to the Word of God, where the baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist and His blood on the Cross are written. I believe absolutely that our Lord has saved you from the sins of the world through His baptism and blood. You, too, can testify that you have been remitted from your heart’s sins by faith, for you believe in the righteousness of salvation that Jesus has fulfilled with His baptism and blood. That is why we are together spreading the baptism of Jesus and His blood to everyone in the whole world. And we have countless witnesses working with us.
We are hearing testimonies of salvation from hundreds of people a day all across the whole world and updates from our co-workers’ ministries, and we are sharing fellowship with them. There are now many people of faith all over the world who believe in the baptism of the Lord and His blood. People who now believe in this gospel are living in nearly 200 countries. Jesus said to Pilate, “Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice” (John 18:37). Regarding the baptism of the washing of our sins and His blood and death that fulfilled the condemnation of sins, Jesus is saying to us, “My baptism is the baptism of salvation that I am giving you, and My death on the Cross is the punishment of your sins.”
That Jesus was baptized and crucified to death when He came to this earth means that He bore the sins of mankind and was condemned for them. It was to save us from the sins of this world once and for all that Jesus was baptized and shed His blood on the Cross, and this work is the evidence that Jesus is the Savior of all of us His believers. From now on, all those who believe in the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist and His blood on the Cross are saved from all their sins, no matter who they are. With our faith in the Word of the baptism Jesus received, we can be washed from our sins, and by believing in the Lord who paid off the wages of our sins with His blood, we can now say that we have become righteous without any sin. Isn’t this true?
Everyone can be saved from all his sins and become a righteous person by believing in the work that the Lord carried out by bearing the sins of the world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and being crucified. It is when we listen closely to the Word of the baptism of the Lord and His blood that we can truly attain the faith that washes away our sins. Right now, you and I do not know when Jesus would return to this earth. No one knows if Jesus Christ would return to this world in 50 years or 500 years. But there is one thing we all know clearly: Jesus is now the Savior of His believers, for He was crucified while shouldering the sins of this world that He bore by being baptized by John the Baptist, and whoever believes in this will be saved from the sins of the world.
Before the Lord returns to this world, the Antichrist, God’s enemy, will come first. The Lord said that He will make this known to the children of the light. He said that when Jesus returns to this world, the whole world will be full of those who know and believe in the Lord’s baptism and His blood on the Cross. There will be more and more believers all over the world who share the same faith with us. Such signs are already evident in every country. In these end times, what will happen to you if you were to perish without getting your sins addressed with the baptism of Jesus and His blood? I hope and pray that you will not let this happen to you.
Earthquakes and diseases will run rampant all over the world, threats of war will hang over every nation, and fierce windstorms such as tornadoes and even worse natural disasters will occur frequently. Amid all this, science will continue to advance to try to address the problems faced by the human race, but it will not be able to achieve this, and many liars in Christian communities will challenge the God-given gospel of the water and the Spirit and His authority. Those who do not believe in the baptism of Jesus and His blood with their hearts will have been seized by evil spirits. With wicked spirits entering into their hearts, they will have united themselves with evil Satan, and they will be cursed to suffer for this.
You must make sure that by the time such things happen, you are already made one of God’s people who have received the washing of sins by believing in the baptism of Jesus and His blood. This present age may very well be the end of good times for this world. But, of course, no one knows yet when this end will come. Only the baptism of Jesus and His blood on the Cross will make His believers’ faith perfect and hold their hearts steadfast.
I believe the Antichrist will appear before the second coming of Jesus Christ and the martyrdom of the righteous will precede His return. As written in the Book of Revelation, I believe it is after this that we will hear the trumpet sound of the return of the Lord. It does not matter to me exactly when the Lord returns to this earth. That is because I believe Jesus our Savior bore the sins of this world once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist; that He was crucified, shed His blood and died on the Cross, saying, “It is finished” (John 19:30), and rose from the dead again; and that He has thereby saved us from all our sins and condemnation. I urge you all to believe that the baptism of Jesus and His Cross, where He paid off the wages of our sins with His own blood, constitute the Word of salvation. I am telling you now that you can be saved from all your sins only if you have faith in the baptism and blood of Jesus.
I want to ask you if you believe with your heart in the Word that Jesus bore the sins of this world with His baptism and blood, and that He has washed away our sins and saved us by being condemned for them in our place. If you do not believe in the baptism and blood of Jesus, let me tell you that it is not too late. You can still be saved if you believe in our Lord Jesus as your Savior right now, who accepted the sins of this world through the work of the baptism He received from John the Baptist and carried them to the Cross.
In contrast, those who do not believe in the baptism and blood of Jesus with their hearts right now will bear all the condemnation of their sins for this disbelief. So, I beseech you to believe in the baptism of Jesus and His blood, and to thus be saved from your sins and condemnation now. I pray to God to bless you. By believing in the baptism and blood of Jesus, you can now pass all your sins to Jesus, reach salvation from all your sins, and be blessed to enjoy the glory of God together with the Lord.
The Lord is saying to us, “The baptism I received was to bear and wash away all your sins once and for all. And the blood I shed on the Cross was for the condemnation of your sins, to bear their condemnation in your place. With the baptism I received from John the Baptist and the punishment of the Cross, I bore and washed away all the sins committed over your entire lifetime. And I also bore and solved away all your descendants’ sins once and for all with My baptism and blood. I took upon your ancestors’ sins also once and for all through My baptism and blood. By faith alone can you be saved, for I have already saved you even from the sins you will commit in the future. By believing with your heart in My righteous work of salvation now, you can reach eternal salvation, be freed from all your sins, and receive everlasting life. I have saved you from all your sins of the world through My baptism and blood. That is why I could shout out on the Cross, “It is finished!” I have completed the work of your salvation once and for all with My baptism and blood, and I have finished and accomplished the work of blotting out your sins once and for all.”
Thanks to the baptism and blood of Jesus, we were able to pass our sins to the body of Jesus once and for all. We could do this because Jesus shouldered the sins of this world once and for all by being baptized and suffered on the Cross to be punished for our sins. We must realize that peace cannot come into our hearts unless we know that Jesus took upon our sins through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and bore the punishment of our sins on the Cross. Until the day we meet the glorious Lord, we must live by faith in the work of salvation that Jesus carried out by taking upon the sins of this world through His baptism and bearing the condemnation of our sins on the Cross. Once we receive the blessings of salvation by faith through the baptism of the Lord and His blood, all that remains for us to do is entering our Lord’s kingdom.
Recently there have been many people from abroad sending us their testimonies of salvation. Someone ministering as a pastor also sent us his testimony, telling us that he read volumes 1 and 2 of our English books and was saved from his sins as a result. Countless people throughout the world who have believed in the religion of the Cross alone are now sending us the news of salvation, telling us that they are rejoiced to be washed from all their sins by believing in the salvation fulfilled with the baptism of Jesus and His blood on the Cross. You may have thought until now that we are far outnumbered by those who believe in Jesus’ blood on the Cross only, but you should realize that in reality, there are many, many people all over the world who now believe in the Jesus who has blotted out their sins as their Savior, for they believe in the baptism our Lord received from John the Baptist and His blood on the Cross.
All human beings must have the faith that enables them to be born again from their sins by believing in the Word of the baptism that the Lord received for them and His blood. It is by believing in the Lord’s baptism and blood that we are saved from all our sins. The gospel of the water and the Spirit speaks the Truth of salvation that Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and washed away our sins once and for all. We can be saved from all our sins only if we believe in the Word of the baptism of Jesus and His blood with our hearts. Let us not overlook the fact that you and I could be washed from our sins thanks to the baptism and blood of Jesus, and let us praise God by placing our faith in them. Let us all reach our salvation through this faith in the baptism and blood of Jesus. Hallelujah!
That we must repent truly to be saved from all our sins absolutely does not mean that you and I are saved from our sins by offering our own prayers of repentance. Your true repentance before God is possible only if you believe in the Word that turns you around from the wrong path you have been on to this day—that is, the true gospel Word that makes you believe in the baptism and blood of Jesus. To return to and believe in the baptism that Jesus received to bear our sins and His blood is what it means to have the faith of true repentance. To have this faith in the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist and His blood is to have faith in the righteousness of the Lord who has saved us from all our sins, and returning to our Lord once and for all by this faith is what is meant by true repentance.
The Lord bore the sins of mankind once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist, was crucified while shouldering these sins of the world, shed His blood, and rose from the dead again. To believe in this Lord as your Savior now and be washed from all your heart’s sins is to have the faith of true repentance. The Lord approves of such people of faith for repenting the right way. Therefore, all of us must believe that the Lord took upon our sins by being baptized by John the Baptist, was crucified, and with this blood bore the punishment of our sins in our place; and by this faith, we must repent truly and return to our Lord.
To repent truly is to turn around from the evil work of Emperor Constantine that left out the work of the baptism of Jesus from the Nicene Creed and misled us to believe in just His Cross; to believe that Jesus took upon the sins of all mankind once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and bore the punishment of our sins in our place with the blood He shed on the Cross; and to be saved from all our sins by this faith in the Lord. It is such people whom the Lord approves of for repenting truly.
So, if we wish to repent truly before the Lord, let us have the faith that washes away all our hearts’ sins with His baptism and blood. The Lord will then approve of your faith and mine. Let us believe in the sacrifice the Lord made as the propitiation for our sins by being baptized and shedding His blood on the Cross, and let us now be washed from all our sins once and for all by faith. The Lord will then tell us that we have repented truly.
If you are now embarking on the road to believe in Jesus as your Savior, but someone is pointing out to you that you are actually heading into worldly religion, you ought to turn around from the mistaken path. You ought to do this if you can turn around from believing in just Jesus’ Cross, believe instead in the salvation that Jesus has fulfilled with His baptism and His blood on the Cross, and thus have the faith that enables you to be washed from your sins.
You may wonder if you really must do this, thinking that the difference between faith in just the Cross and faith in both the baptism and blood of the Lord is paper-thin. However, that is not the case in the realm of Truth. It’s this one small difference that saves your life. We can be washed from all our sins by placing our faith in the baptism of Jesus and His blood. It is after this that the Holy Spirit descends on you and you can have His guidance to learn how the born-again live out their faith.
In worldly churches, people are taught that their sins are blotted out if they offer prayers of repentance to Jesus. This kind of belief is a worldly and religious belief. However, if we turn around from our mistaken path and believe in the true baptism that the Lord received from John the Baptist and the blood He shed, then we can have the faith to walk on the right path of Truth. For us to repent genuinely before our Lord, we must believe that Jesus shouldered the sins of this world and bore their punishment with the baptism He received from John the Baptist and His blood, and this is what it means to repent truly.
The real Truth of salvation we must believe is the baptism of the washing of sins through which Jesus bore your sins and mine once and for all, the death He suffered on the Cross as the punishment of our sins to be condemned for them, and His resurrection; and it is through faith in this Truth that we receive salvation and eternal life. With the work of His baptism, Jesus took upon the sins of this world once and for all, was crucified, shed His blood and died on the Cross, and has thereby blessed those of us who believe in Him as our Savior to reach salvation from the sins of this world. The Word of Scripture is telling you now that Jesus could shoulder all your sins and mine once and for all thanks to the work of the baptism He received from John the Baptist, and that He is the living Lord who has saved you and me from all the sins of this world by dying on the Cross and rising from the dead again.
The Bible is saying to the entire human race that the baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist and the blood He shed constitute the Truth of salvation that the Lord bore your sins and mine and washed them away once and for all. I believe Jesus is the Lord who has saved us His believers from the sins of the world and condemnation by taking upon your sins and mine through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and bearing their condemnation by suffering the punishment of death on the Cross. All of us ought to believe in the Word of the washing of sins fulfilled with the work of the baptism that the Lord received for us, and at the same time believe also in the justice of the Lord who paid off the wages of our sins on the Cross. This is because Jesus has now saved us from all the sins of the world through the Word of the baptism He received from John the Baptist and His blood.
In my past, before I was born again, I used to struggle a whole week to prepare just a single sermon, but I don’t struggle like this anymore. This is because God is my Father, the Holy Spirit dwells in me, and I have in me the Word of the baptism that the Lord received from John the Baptist to save me from the sins of this world and His blood on the Cross. So I just preach this Word. When my heart has faith in the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist and His blood, what can ever make me a sinner again as I was before? Satan used to accuse me of sinfulness, but he was driven away once and for all thanks to the baptism of the Lord and His blood. My sins used to haunt me so much in the past, but now, Jesus has saved me from my sins through His baptism and His blood on the Cross, so who can ever say that I have any sin? With this faith of mine, I thank the Lord for blotting out all my sins by being baptized and shedding His blood. Hallelujah!
I am preaching about your salvation by faith, not according to any theological doctrines but according to the Word of God, where the baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist and His blood on the Cross are written. I believe absolutely that our Lord has saved you from the sins of the world through His baptism and blood. You, too, can testify that you have been remitted from your heart’s sins by faith, for you believe in the righteousness of salvation that Jesus has fulfilled with His baptism and blood. That is why we are together spreading the baptism of Jesus and His blood to everyone in the whole world. And we have countless witnesses working with us.
We are hearing testimonies of salvation from hundreds of people a day all across the whole world and updates from our co-workers’ ministries, and we are sharing fellowship with them. There are now many people of faith all over the world who believe in the baptism of the Lord and His blood. People who now believe in this gospel are living in nearly 200 countries. Jesus said to Pilate, “Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice” (John 18:37). Regarding the baptism of the washing of our sins and His blood and death that fulfilled the condemnation of sins, Jesus is saying to us, “My baptism is the baptism of salvation that I am giving you, and My death on the Cross is the punishment of your sins.”
That Jesus was baptized and crucified to death when He came to this earth means that He bore the sins of mankind and was condemned for them. It was to save us from the sins of this world once and for all that Jesus was baptized and shed His blood on the Cross, and this work is the evidence that Jesus is the Savior of all of us His believers. From now on, all those who believe in the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist and His blood on the Cross are saved from all their sins, no matter who they are. With our faith in the Word of the baptism Jesus received, we can be washed from our sins, and by believing in the Lord who paid off the wages of our sins with His blood, we can now say that we have become righteous without any sin. Isn’t this true?
Everyone can be saved from all his sins and become a righteous person by believing in the work that the Lord carried out by bearing the sins of the world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and being crucified. It is when we listen closely to the Word of the baptism of the Lord and His blood that we can truly attain the faith that washes away our sins. Right now, you and I do not know when Jesus would return to this earth. No one knows if Jesus Christ would return to this world in 50 years or 500 years. But there is one thing we all know clearly: Jesus is now the Savior of His believers, for He was crucified while shouldering the sins of this world that He bore by being baptized by John the Baptist, and whoever believes in this will be saved from the sins of the world.
Before the Lord returns to this world, the Antichrist, God’s enemy, will come first. The Lord said that He will make this known to the children of the light. He said that when Jesus returns to this world, the whole world will be full of those who know and believe in the Lord’s baptism and His blood on the Cross. There will be more and more believers all over the world who share the same faith with us. Such signs are already evident in every country. In these end times, what will happen to you if you were to perish without getting your sins addressed with the baptism of Jesus and His blood? I hope and pray that you will not let this happen to you.
Earthquakes and diseases will run rampant all over the world, threats of war will hang over every nation, and fierce windstorms such as tornadoes and even worse natural disasters will occur frequently. Amid all this, science will continue to advance to try to address the problems faced by the human race, but it will not be able to achieve this, and many liars in Christian communities will challenge the God-given gospel of the water and the Spirit and His authority. Those who do not believe in the baptism of Jesus and His blood with their hearts will have been seized by evil spirits. With wicked spirits entering into their hearts, they will have united themselves with evil Satan, and they will be cursed to suffer for this.
You must make sure that by the time such things happen, you are already made one of God’s people who have received the washing of sins by believing in the baptism of Jesus and His blood. This present age may very well be the end of good times for this world. But, of course, no one knows yet when this end will come. Only the baptism of Jesus and His blood on the Cross will make His believers’ faith perfect and hold their hearts steadfast.
I believe the Antichrist will appear before the second coming of Jesus Christ and the martyrdom of the righteous will precede His return. As written in the Book of Revelation, I believe it is after this that we will hear the trumpet sound of the return of the Lord. It does not matter to me exactly when the Lord returns to this earth. That is because I believe Jesus our Savior bore the sins of this world once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist; that He was crucified, shed His blood and died on the Cross, saying, “It is finished” (John 19:30), and rose from the dead again; and that He has thereby saved us from all our sins and condemnation. I urge you all to believe that the baptism of Jesus and His Cross, where He paid off the wages of our sins with His own blood, constitute the Word of salvation. I am telling you now that you can be saved from all your sins only if you have faith in the baptism and blood of Jesus.
I want to ask you if you believe with your heart in the Word that Jesus bore the sins of this world with His baptism and blood, and that He has washed away our sins and saved us by being condemned for them in our place. If you do not believe in the baptism and blood of Jesus, let me tell you that it is not too late. You can still be saved if you believe in our Lord Jesus as your Savior right now, who accepted the sins of this world through the work of the baptism He received from John the Baptist and carried them to the Cross.
In contrast, those who do not believe in the baptism and blood of Jesus with their hearts right now will bear all the condemnation of their sins for this disbelief. So, I beseech you to believe in the baptism of Jesus and His blood, and to thus be saved from your sins and condemnation now. I pray to God to bless you. By believing in the baptism and blood of Jesus, you can now pass all your sins to Jesus, reach salvation from all your sins, and be blessed to enjoy the glory of God together with the Lord.
The Lord is saying to us, “The baptism I received was to bear and wash away all your sins once and for all. And the blood I shed on the Cross was for the condemnation of your sins, to bear their condemnation in your place. With the baptism I received from John the Baptist and the punishment of the Cross, I bore and washed away all the sins committed over your entire lifetime. And I also bore and solved away all your descendants’ sins once and for all with My baptism and blood. I took upon your ancestors’ sins also once and for all through My baptism and blood. By faith alone can you be saved, for I have already saved you even from the sins you will commit in the future. By believing with your heart in My righteous work of salvation now, you can reach eternal salvation, be freed from all your sins, and receive everlasting life. I have saved you from all your sins of the world through My baptism and blood. That is why I could shout out on the Cross, “It is finished!” I have completed the work of your salvation once and for all with My baptism and blood, and I have finished and accomplished the work of blotting out your sins once and for all.”
Thanks to the baptism and blood of Jesus, we were able to pass our sins to the body of Jesus once and for all. We could do this because Jesus shouldered the sins of this world once and for all by being baptized and suffered on the Cross to be punished for our sins. We must realize that peace cannot come into our hearts unless we know that Jesus took upon our sins through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and bore the punishment of our sins on the Cross. Until the day we meet the glorious Lord, we must live by faith in the work of salvation that Jesus carried out by taking upon the sins of this world through His baptism and bearing the condemnation of our sins on the Cross. Once we receive the blessings of salvation by faith through the baptism of the Lord and His blood, all that remains for us to do is entering our Lord’s kingdom.
Recently there have been many people from abroad sending us their testimonies of salvation. Someone ministering as a pastor also sent us his testimony, telling us that he read volumes 1 and 2 of our English books and was saved from his sins as a result. Countless people throughout the world who have believed in the religion of the Cross alone are now sending us the news of salvation, telling us that they are rejoiced to be washed from all their sins by believing in the salvation fulfilled with the baptism of Jesus and His blood on the Cross. You may have thought until now that we are far outnumbered by those who believe in Jesus’ blood on the Cross only, but you should realize that in reality, there are many, many people all over the world who now believe in the Jesus who has blotted out their sins as their Savior, for they believe in the baptism our Lord received from John the Baptist and His blood on the Cross.
All human beings must have the faith that enables them to be born again from their sins by believing in the Word of the baptism that the Lord received for them and His blood. It is by believing in the Lord’s baptism and blood that we are saved from all our sins. The gospel of the water and the Spirit speaks the Truth of salvation that Jesus bore the sins of this world once and for all through the baptism He received from John the Baptist and washed away our sins once and for all. We can be saved from all our sins only if we believe in the Word of the baptism of Jesus and His blood with our hearts. Let us not overlook the fact that you and I could be washed from our sins thanks to the baptism and blood of Jesus, and let us praise God by placing our faith in them. Let us all reach our salvation through this faith in the baptism and blood of Jesus. Hallelujah!
