The baptism of Jesus was a ministry of salvation to bear the sins of humanity. [Christian Testimony 25]

 

The baptism of Jesus was a ministry of salvation to bear the sins of humanity (Matt. 3:13-17). This symbolizes how Jesus saved us from all sins by bearing the sins of the world upon Himself.

The baptism of Jesus was a ministry of salvation to bear the sins of humanity (Mattew 3:13–17).

Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?” But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Mattew 3:13–17)

This symbolizes how Jesus saved us from all sins by bearing the sins of the world upon Himself. Jesus’s death on the cross eliminated all sins of humanity by paying the price for them. In doing so, He actually fulfilled the old testament sacrifices and prophecies. Jesus received our sins through His baptism and took the punishment for our sins so that believers could receive the removal of sins and be reconciled with God.

As a believer in Jesus Christ who accomplished this ministry of salvation, I am now without sin.

This is because Jesus, who is God, bore my sins — taking away all my sins past, present, and future. When Jesus was baptized and died on the cross, He paid the full penalty for my sins, and His resurrection proved victory over sin and death. Now as a believer, I am set apart from sin and have a new sinless conscience.

I can solve the problem of daily and future sins by acknowledging my sinful nature and knowing that I cannot be saved from sin except through faith in Jesus’s baptism and death. His baptism took away all my sins, and His death on the cross paid the penalty for all my sins. I have received the removal of sins through faith.

Although I believed in Jesus, I was a sinner.

I had sin in my heart before encountering Pastor Paul C. Jong’s teachings even though I believed in Jesus. This was because I did not know the true gospel of the water and the Spirit that washes away all sins. Also, I did not believe in Jesus’s baptism and death on the cross because I did not understand their significance. Consequently, although I believed in Jesus, I was a sinner.

My faith before encountering the true gospel through Pastor Paul C. Jong’s book “Have you truly been born again of water and the Spirit?” from the New Life Mission was incomplete and inaccurate, leading to lack of assurance and peace. I believed in Jesus without understanding the significance of the removal of sins through His baptism. Therefore, I always had sin in my heart and struggled with guilt.

However, now I have complete faith based on complete understanding of the gospel of the water and the Spirit, living as God’s holy child without sin, having complete faith that relies on Jesus’s finished work rather than my own efforts. I am free from sin!

Baptism That Save Us Through Jesus' Baptism Among Three Types of Baptisms Recorded in the Bible [ Bible Study 1]

Image
  The Meaning of Three Types of Baptisms Recorded in the Bible There are three types of baptisms in the Bible: John the Baptist’s baptism for repentance, Jesus’ baptism from John the Baptist, and the water baptism received by believers. 1. Jesus’ Baptism from John the Baptist First, the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist in the Jordan River was, just as sins were imputed to sacrificial offerings through laying on of hands in the Old Testament, a baptism He received as the Lamb of God to have all the sins of humanity imputed to Him. This was the beginning of God’s just plan of salvation, and through baptism, Jesus took upon Himself all the sins of the world in a just manner through imputation. ‘But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit ...

Which Came First: Faith in God's Righteousness or the Law? [Bible Study 2]

Image
  Before giving the Law, God first gave the righteousness of faith to become children of God through faith.  As recorded in Genesis, Adam and Eve, Abel, Seth and Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and his descendants were justified by faith in God’s Word without the Law. Genesis 15:6 “And he believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.” However, during their 400 years of slavery in Egypt, the Israelites lost this righteousness of faith and lost God. Therefore, God gave the Law through Moses to let them know that God exists, and to make them realize their sins and return to the holy God. And He gave the sacrificial system to the Israelites who were under the curse of the Law (in sin) so that they could receive redemption through the atonement of sins. Looking at the sacrificial offerings that God established in the Old Testament: 1. There were sin offerings offered by individuals 2. There was the Great Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) once a year to atone fo...

I am truly thankful to God that I can testify through this Christian blog about becoming sinless through the gospel of water and the Spirit. [Christian Testimony 14]

Image
  Thank you, Pastor. Speaking of my testimony on this Christian blog , I can say that I am living a fulfilled life today. This is because the gospel of water and the Spirit has given meaning to my life. The problem of mankind lies in sin. It is also problematic that Christians remain in sin. However, Pastor Paul C. Jong’s teachings completely liberate us from the burden of sin. Faith based only on Jesus’ blood on the cross is a burden that false pastors impose to keep us in bondage for life, and this is truly a serious problem today. Fortunately, in my case, I had the opportunity to discover this beautiful gospel of water, blood, and the Spirit through Pastor Paul C. Jong’s eBook “Have You Truly Been Born Again of Water and the Spirit?” which can be freely downloaded from The New Life Mission’s website, translated into languages worldwide. I am truly grateful to God for leading me to this gospel. I really need your encouragement to become a faithful co-worker in this beautiful m...

Are you still living in sin because of wrong beliefs? [Christian Testimony 8]

Image
  The "baptism" that Jesus Christ was baptized by John the Baptist was the only way Christ took upon Himself all our sins. Through the baptism from John the Baptist, who was a high priest according to the order of Aaron, He took on the sins of the world, and afterward paid the price for all these sins by shedding His blood on the cross. The cross is actually the result of Jesus Christ taking our sins through baptism. If Jesus had not been baptized, His death would have been meaningless. Now I am righteous and sinless through faith in the gospel of water and the Spirit. And the resolution for future sins can be achieved by acknowledging my sins and through God’s righteous law of salvation. The faith of the righteous is believing that when we confess our sins, even these sins were already taken by Christ 2000 years ago through His baptism, and He paid the price for them by shedding His blood on the cross. In the past, before I encountered the gospel of water and the Spirit, eve...
