Wholeheartedly, We Must Properly Know and Believe in Jesus

The Lord took on the sins of the entire mankind at once through the baptism

received from John the Baptist, and He shed blood on the Cross, died vicariously, and
was resurrected from death. Having received the baptism given by John the Baptist,

the Lord became the Savior who saved us from the sins of the entire world.

Therefore, today’s Christians must think and believe in Jesus in connection with the
ministry of John the Baptist. In other words, regarding Jesus Christ saving mankind

from the sin of the world, you and I must know and believe in the ministry of John

the Baptist in which he had passed on the sins of the world to Jesus once and for all.

In order to do this, we must first realize that Jesus is the ministry worker who

fulfilled the all the righteousness of God by having received the baptism from John

the Baptist as stated in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. All Christians living in

this day and age must know both the ministry of John the Baptist and the ministry of
Jesus. We must now return to the Word of the Lord, and then we must think why

there has to be the ministry of John the Baptist and believe in it. We must now enter

into the ministry of John the Baptist and the ministry of Jesus, and then we must
renew our current faith even more. Having done so, all those living on this earth must

anticipate the arrival of the day when they will all know the righteousness of God.

Such faith is to obey the will of God who is perfect.
