Jesus Christ Who Came as the Atoning Sacrifice [Christian Sermon 21]

Image
God promised His saving love for us through the sacrificial law in the Old Testament, and fulfilled that promise through Jesus Christ in the New Testament. In order for us to know what salvation accomplished by God through Jesus, that is, “the righteousness of God,” means, we must first properly learn and believe in the “gospel of the water and the Spirit.” The sermon content I will introduce today is excerpted from “How Can We Receive the Holy Spirit as a Gift?” This book is written by Pastor Paul C. Jong, God’s servant of The New Life Mission, which most clearly addresses the “gospel of the water and the Spirit” of this age and what kind of faith one must have to receive the Holy Spirit. This book has been translated into multiple languages and e-book and audiobook files are provided free of charge, so please visit The New Life Mission website. © 2025 Elizabeth. All rights reserved.

Matthew 3:15, “For thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” [Bible Study 21]

Image
To solve your sin problem, you must first clearly understand why Jesus received baptism from John the Baptist in the Jordan River. The Holy Spirit is not received through one’s own efforts and zeal. Only when all sins are removed from the heart by believing in Jesus’ work of salvation — that is, the gospel of water (baptism), blood, and the Spirit — can the Holy Spirit come upon you. Today, we introduce a sermon that clearly explains “the relationship between the baptism that Jesus received from John and the removal of sin” according to the Word recorded in the Bible. This content is included in Volume 3 of the series “HOW CAN WE RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AS A GIFT? [New Revised Edition],” written by Pastor Paul C. Jong, a servant of God at The New Life Mission. Do you know the reason why Jesus was baptized by John? We can know the reason from the words of Jesus in Matthew 3:15, “For thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” In this verse, the phrase “for thu...

What is the faith to receive the Holy Spirit as spoken of in the Bible? [Christian Sermon 20]

Image
In whose heart does the Holy Spirit indwell? The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is not achieved through human effort or accomplishment. Only those who believe in the ‘gospel of water and the Spirit’ and receive the removal of sins in their hearts by faith can receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Then what is the ‘gospel of water and the Spirit’? Today’s sermon message is excerpted from Volume 3 of the series by Pastor Paul C. Jong, God’s servant of The New Life Mission, titled ‘HOW CAN WE RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AS A GIFT?’ This book is a sermon collection that clearly conveys the truth of salvation through the ‘gospel of water and the Spirit’ and ‘the indwelling of the Holy Spirit’ based on the Word of God. This book is provided free of charge in the form of e-books, audiobooks, and bilingual books, so please visit The New Life Mission website. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit was accomplished through the beautiful gospel after the resurrection of Jesus. We are...

Why was John the Baptist born 6 months before Jesus? [Bible Study 20]

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

What Does 'Water' Mean in the Bible? [QnA]

Image
Do you know the true meaning of Jesus' baptism that the Bible speaks of? What do the water and the Spirit mentioned in John 3:5 mean? The Bible says, "Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God."

Jong, God's servant of The New Life Mission, titled "Have You Truly Been Born Again of Water and the Spirit?" , and we would like to introduce the topics that many people are most curious about in a question-and-answer format.

Can We Receive the Holy Spirit Through Human Effort or the Laying on of Hands? [New Book Release]

Image
Introduction to Pastor Paul C. Jong’s book series, ‘HOW CAN WE RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AS A GIFT? [New Revised Edition] (English 3-Volume Series) Today, within Christianity, charismatic denominations are mainstream. But through what is the Holy Spirit given? Is it received through one’s fervent prayer or fasting, or through supernatural experiences such as speaking in tongues received by the laying on of hands at revival meetings that pursue the fullness of the Holy Spirit? No, it is not. The Holy Spirit is not received through one’s own efforts or experiences from the laying on of hands, but is a gift from God given to those who have received the removal of sins through faith in the gospel of water and the Spirit, which is the gospel of God’s truth. The content below is recorded in the third book, “HOW CAN WE RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AS A GIFT?” , among the many books written by God’s servant Pastor Paul C. Jong of the New Life Mission, and it will let you accurately understand, throu...

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1) [Christian Sermon 19]

Image
 The Bible clearly states: by ‘faith’ in Jesus, we are justified once for all, and those who have received the forgiveness of sins become glorious children of God. Then, through 'what kind of faith', as spoken of in the Bible, can we receive the washing away of our sins once for all? At this time, I would like to share about the faith by which we 'obtain complete salvation from sin' through a sermon included in Volume 2 of Pastor Paul C. Jong’s series, “Return to the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit.” In Romans 8:1, it says, “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.” God has made all sinners complete righteous people and has fully freed those who are in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. Hebrews 9:12 says about the complete removal of sins by God,  “Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.” It is described th...
