I GIVE MY THANKS FOR YOUR BAPTISM, DEATH AND RESURRECTION, THROUGH EBOOK1.
O Lord, O Lord, how excellent is your name that is above all names. For through the power of your name, you have given us a sinless life. Yes Lord through the power of your name which carries your righteous Acts of your baptism which you had received from John the Baptist to take away all the Sins of the world, and by your precious blood you shed on the cross you paid the wages of our sins, and by your resurrection through which we have attained the newness of life, a life without sin. O Lord our God, what are we to reject your word, we are only your creatures Father, who only need to admit our nature before you. What are we as man? We are born sinners with our 12 kinds of sins intact in our hearts and with corruptive minds, and because of it our destination is none other going to hell without any objections. O Lord, if you call us sinners we are definitely sinners, and if you call us righteous, then we are definitely righteous. Thus by your word of the Law, I admit that am born sinful, am sinful by your Law not because I have committed sin, but am sinful because am born sinful, as I inherited sin from my foreparents Adam and Eve. But now O Lord, I boldly confess that I am righteous, Yes O Lord I am righteous not because I have not committed sin, or I have offered anything of my own to become sinless, No! I am righteous because I have known myself to be born sinful before you O Lord, and because of this, you have revealed the one and only way by which I am saved from all my sins. You have saved me by your baptism which you received from John the Baptist, the last high priest on earth and the representative of all of us mankind who are born sinful, he passed our sins onto your righteous body as the last high priest and you humbly accepted them O Lord, then you became with sins for our sake, you who didn’t not know any sin. My sins you received on your baptism from John the Baptist, led you to vicariously suffer on the cross, to pay for the wages of my sins by the shed of your precious blood to give me the complete forgiveness of my sins as John 19:30 confirms it all. Then you rose again on the third day to give me the newness of life in you, that is a life without any sin at all, not even a spot of sin is left in my heart. For you swept it all by your baptism, death and thy resurrection. Thus I thank you Lord, for the gospel of the water and the Spirit before my life. Amen.
