The baptism of Jesus and the Atonement of Sins (Matthew 3:13-17)

We have to understand that our warfare against sin has ended.
Our bondage to sin ended when Jesus redeemed us with His baptism and blood. Jesus shouldered our sins through His baptism from John and then paid for all our sins at the Cross. He has set us free from sin and judgment, forever. (John 8:32)
To be saved from all our sins, we must believe in the gospel that states that John the Baptist passed all our sins onto Jesus at His baptism in the form of the `laying on of hands` as foreshadowed in the sacrificial system (Leviticus 16:21).
We should not misunderstand, thinking, “Since God is love, we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven only by believing in Jesus, even if we have sin in our hearts.”
In order to be redeemed of all our sins, we have to believe in His baptism, through which John the Baptist passed all the sins of the world onto Jesus and in His death on the Cross, where His blood was shed to atone those sins of ours once and for all. "It is finished" (John 19:30) Had this salvation not been fulfilled, we would have surely been judged for our sins in hell. Praise God for His love and mercy! Hallelujah
