I have been in so much sorrow too, helplessness, in pain, and I almost died of depression because I couldn`t understand who I was, not until the Word of God made me to understand that I am born so sinful(Mark7:21-23) and as sinful as I am born by nature I cannot live by God`s Law Because He gave me His Law so that I may understand how complete incapable being I am apart from Him(Romans3:20). Now because I have accepted my sinfulness, the Lord has blessed me with the Gospel truth of the Water and the Spirit(John3:5) through which all the Laws and prophets testified of Him, are fulfilled(Hebrews10:1, Mathews5:17). The Lord made me to understand how He forgave sin in the old testament for it is the shadow that pointed out to the real thing to come, who is Jesus Christ Himself(Hebrews10:1). Because God does not change, Therefore, even the means by which He has saved us all mankind from our sinful nature inherited from our fore parents Adam and Eve is definitive the same(Mathews5:17), so the way He forgave sin in the Old Tastement is the very way He has forgave us all in the New Testament from our sins leaving no single mankind behind.
Just as it was in the old testament, God appointed the high priest (Aaron) to stand for the Israelites on the day of atonement in order to transfer all the sins of the Israelites after they confessed to him onto the unblemished sacrificial animal by the laying on of Hands (Leviticus1:4-5, Leviticus16vs21) which was to be killed after accepting their sins in order to be judged on their behalf by its blood(Romans6:23, Hebrews9:22) through this way the Lord had established for the forgiveness of yearly sins, indeed the Israelites were forgiven from their yearly sins. So likewise, God sent John the Baptist on this earth as the messenger of God, who tells every Mankind to turn away from their sins. And as a witness bearer about the light who is Jesus Christ, So God sent John the Baptist to come and prepare a way for the Lord, by telling the people to repent from their sins(John1:6, Malachi4:5-6, Isaiah40:3, Mathews11:10-14). So the people repented by confessing their sins to John, and received the baptism of repentance from John. So because John is the last high priest of the old testament time(Luke1:5, 1Chronicles 24:10), John stood for all mankind on earth from the first man Adam to the last man who will be born on this earth and transferred the sins of all mankind onto the body of the unblemished Lamb of God Jesus Christ on His baptism(Mathews3:13-17) that is why Jesus when He reached to the Jordan River, He commanded John to baptism Him so as all the sins of the world can be transferred onto Jesus`s body at once(Mathews3:15), and immediately John obeyed Him, all our sins were shouldered upon Jesus Christ, that is why it pleased God the Father immediately Jesus came out of the Water, The Heavens were opened, and the Spirit of God descended upon Him in a form of a dove, and the voice was heard saying this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. God was pleased knowing that all our sins were passed upon Jesus`s body, so because of that, Jesus became with sin for our stead (2Corinthians5:21), now because His word says that the wages of sin is death(Romans6:23) so it was for this reason that Jesus was crucified on the cross in order to pay for the wages of all sins He had received on His baptism from John the Baptist(Mathews3:15, Leviticus16vs21). Thus Jesus Christ accomplished the work of our Salvation by shedding His precious blood on the cross(John19:30) and on the third day He rose again to give the newness of life to whosoever believeth in this truth; that the Lamb of God took away all the sins of World by His baptism, death and resurrection(John1:29) Now you and I as well as all mankind can be made Sinless when we believe in both His baptism and death on the cross and His resurrection(1John5:8) for these are the only three witnesses that seals ones heart with the Spirit of God when one believes in this truth. So this is the gospel truth of the Water and the Spirit which constitutes Jesus`s baptism, death and His resurrection(1John5:6). For truly Jesus is our only Savior(Mathews1:21) who came by His baptism, death and resurrection. We can all reach to the Father by believing in this Jesus who came by the Water, Blood and the Spirit wholly with our hearts.
May the Grace and Peace of Our LORD Jesus Christ found in the gospel truth of the Water and the Spirit which surpasses all human understanding be with you as you come to believe in the gospel truth of the Water and the Spirit.
May God bless His Church(The New Life Mission).
