Subject 23 : The Epistle to the HEBREWS

[Chapter 3-2] The Righteousness of The Lord Has Clothed Us In His Blessed Salvation (Hebrews 3:1-19)

The Righteousness of The Lord Has Clothed Us In His Blessed Salvation
(Hebrews 3:1-19)
“Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house. For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house. For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God. And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward, but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end. Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
“‘Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,
In the day of trial in the wilderness,
Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,
And saw My works forty years.
Therefore I was angry with that generation,
And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,
And they have not known My ways.’
So I swore in My wrath,
They shall not enter My rest.’”
Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called ‘Today,’ lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, while it is said:
‘Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.’
For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.”
 
 

Our God Has Spoken to Us about the Superiority of Jesus Christ at Various Times and Various Ways

 
It’s written in Hebrews 2:1-3: “Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him.” This passage admonishes us not to neglect the gospel Word of the water and the Spirit that we have heard and believed in to this day.
Today, as you and I believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, we have received the remission of sins into our hearts, and we are now living in a blessed state both in body and spirit. Jesus Christ, in whom we believe, has blessed us the believers in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. He is the one and only Savior who has delivered us from all the sins of this world. Therefore, if our minds are really set on the righteousness of our Lord, then we cannot think about anything else but His will. Having come to this earth incarnated in the flesh of man in order to save us from all the sins of this world, our Lord has given us new life by being baptized by John the Baptist, dying on the Cross, and rising up from the dead. As those who have received new life, we believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, and therefore we can never forget the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
That is why the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews said to the saints of his time, “How could we not believe in the Word of God that we have heard until now and let it slide away?” Is there anyone among us here who still does not believe in the gospel Word of the water and the Spirit? When we think about the power of the gospel of the water and the Spirit that our Lord has given to us, we can see just how great the Lord’s grace is. There is nothing more powerful than the Lord-given gospel of the water and the Spirit, and there can be no life that’s more beautiful than the one that’s led to serve this gospel. Nor is there any investment that’s better than this. That is why we can put all our trust in the gospel of the water and the Spirit and devote all our lives to serving this gospel.
The Apostles who preached the Word of God at the beginning of the Early Church era all believed in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Afterwards, when tribulations came to the saints living in Israel, they were then scattered all over the known world, and what held their hearts steadfast amidst such trials was their unwavering faith in the baptism of Jesus and His blood on the Cross. Like this, whoever believes in the gospel of the water and the Spirit can endure any kind of difficulties that they face.
These days, many people all over the world are sending us their testimonies of salvation saying that they have reached their salvation by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. In each and every one of these testimonies of salvation, a clear confession of faith is made to bear witness of the gospel of salvation and the work of atonement that our Lord has done for us. So, both the preachers and hearers of the gospel of the water and the Spirit are compelled to thank God from the bottom of their hearts. We can all see and experience God’s power, for the salvation that our Lord has given to us through the gospel of the water and the Spirit is so precious and its power is so great.
We believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. We believe that the Lord has made us sinless by being baptized by John the Baptist to bear all our sins, shedding His blood on the Cross to death, and rising from the dead in three days after He was laid in a cave-tomb. Having thus blotted out all our sins, Jesus Christ is now sitting at the right hand of the throne of God the Father, and He will surely come back to take us away. That will happen at the end of the age of the pale horse (Revelation 6:8). Hence, all of us who believe in this fact have this true hope.
The problem, however is that there are still many people nowadays who don’t believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit with their hearts even as they know it. Of course, it would be difficult for anyone to completely understand the gospel Truth of the water and the Spirit right away just by hearing it once. But if people continue to listen to the gospel of the water and the Spirit and hear it repeatedly, they will all come to grasp the power of this gospel. And once they realize their sinful selves before God, they will know that the gospel of the water and the Spirit is the real Truth of salvation. You and I must therefore work tirelessly to preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit all over the world, so that each and every human being would realize just how blessed and full of grace this gospel really is.
All of us were destined to be destroyed for our sins in God’s sight. Yet despite this, our Lord has clothed us in His grace of true salvation through the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Even now, this grace of God is still working in our hearts and souls, and therefore God’s power and blessings are working in the lives of all who believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. If we did not have this gospel grace of the water and the Spirit in our hearts, we could neither have escaped from all our sins nor claim to have been delivered from all our sins. Because we were indeed sinners in God’s sight, we were compelled to admit that we could not help but be cast into hell for our sins. However, as we now believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, we are more than able to enter the Kingdom of God; this is because we have received the remission of our sins through our faith in the gospel of the water and the Spirit.
My point here is not to argue over our merits and demerits before God. Far from it, it is to underscore the fact that if we did not have our Lord’s grace in our lives even for just one day, we would have no strength to live in a way that’s worthy of being God’s children. It is only by believing in our Lord’s gospel of the water and the Spirit that we have received the remission of sins. In other words, despite the fact that it was fundamentally inevitable for us to be condemned and cast into hell for our sins, we were still able to be saved, all thanks to the gospel of the water and the Spirit.
 
 

Thanks to This Genuine Gospel, All of Us Can Do What Our Lord Wants Us to Do

 
In this age of the New Testament, it would be rather strange if it were possible for us to live as true Christians without actually believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Indeed, it’s precisely because we believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit that we can all do what is pleasing to the Lord. It’s only fitting for all sinners to live out their faith once they are born again by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Put differently, it’s only a matter of course for all of us who believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit to preach and serve this genuine gospel. Now that we have received the remission of sins by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, serving the Lord’s work in our lives is to follow His will.
Even though you and I were destined to hell for our sins, our Lord has saved us from all our sins once and for all through the gospel of the water and the Spirit. So, as we believe in the righteousness of our Lord and we are so grateful to Him, we want to carry out His work to please Him. And our Lord’s work has now become our own joy and blessing. We can all willingly give up our stubbornness if it’s pleasing to our Lord.
There is a pop song in Korea that goes, “I can do anything that pleases you.” We all have the same mind towards the Lord. Because we have received the remission of sins by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit that the Lord has given freely to us, we cannot help but follow Him. We can’t help but honor the Lord, and we can’t help but do whatever pleases the Lord.
Having received the remission of sins, we are now living to preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit that constitutes the righteousness of the Lord, and it’s a pure joy for us to lead such a life. The problem, however, is that there are still some people in God’s Church who see no joy in preaching the gospel. My mind is distressed whenever I see such people. How could we not believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit? How could we not believe in God when He loves us so much? It’s only natural for all of us to labor for the One who loves us even to death.
Could you refuse to do any work for those who love you? Could you readily reject any request made by someone who loves you? No, I am sure you could not do this. Everyone is obliged to accommodate the wishes of those whom they love. This is the power of love. In this light, if you and I are doing what pleases the Lord now that we have received the remission of sins, then this clearly shows that we do in fact love the Lord.  
 
 

God the Father Told Us to Meditate on Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of Our Confession

 
Hebrews 3:1 says, “Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus.” How about you then? Are you really ruminating on Jesus Christ, who has given you the gospel of the water and the Spirit? If you are indeed deeply appreciative of the righteousness of God, then the more you think about it, the more you would be compelled to thank the Lord for His grace and love.
As Jesus is the High Priest of the Kingdom of Heaven, He has blotted out all our sins once and for all with the baptism He received from John the Baptist and the blood He shed on the Cross. John the Baptist, being the High Priest of the earth, passed all the sins of the human race onto Jesus the Lamb of God; and Jesus, having come to this earth incarnated in the flesh of man as the High Priest of Heaven, bore all the sins of His people by being baptized, died on the Cross, rose up from the dead, and thereby saved us once and for all. How could we then not appreciate what Jesus has done for us as our High Priest? Given the fact that the Lord has done such a great work of salvation to blot out all your sins and mine, how could we not think of His grace?
I am so happy that the grace of the Lord is always in my heart. Although I had been fundamentally ignorant of the Lord’s righteousness before, but now I have come to realize it through the gospel of the water and the Spirit, and because of this, I’ve come to truly understand and believe in the Lord’s love.
How about you then? Could you live without remembering the profound love that God and His Son have shown to you through the gospel of the water and the Spirit? Think about the sacrifice of Jesus that constitutes the righteousness of God. Think about how Jesus has saved us by coming to this earth as our High Priest of Heaven, bearing all our sins on His own body by being baptized, dying on the Cross, and rising from the dead again. Given this, how could we not believe in the gospel Truth of the water and the Spirit and not preach it? How could we not thank God with our faith for His grace? Indeed, as we know and believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, we cannot help but appreciate Jesus’ love deeply. After all, when our Lord came to this earth as the High Priest of the Kingdom of Heaven, He blotted all the sins of the entire human race once and for all. So how could we ever forget this salvation of the Lord in our lives? Far from forgetting it, we can now live for the glory of Jesus in all things.
 
 
Only When We Realize Our Evil Selves Does the Lord’s Grace of Salvation Shine Even More Brilliantly in Each of Us
 
Whereas Moses worked as a servant in God’s House, Jesus worked as the Master in His Father’s House. This work was carried out by Jesus the Son of God to bring salvation to us, by coming to this earth incarnated in the flesh of man in order to fulfill the will of His Father, being baptized by John the Baptist, dying on the Cross, and rising from the dead again in three days. That is how Jesus Christ fulfilled the will of His Father. The righteous work that Jesus did for you and me is fundamentally different from what Moses did as a servant in the House of God. Thanks to the Lord’s righteous work of salvation, all of us who believe in the righteousness of Jesus Christ have received the remission of sins, and therefore we cannot help but preach the grace of the Lord for the rest of our lives.
We know that it’s never so easy for us to be fully aware of our true selves in our lives. But all of us must still look at ourselves objectively. We ought to look and see just how worthless we all are. And this self-realization is not reached until we fail to live by the Law repeatedly and fall into sin time after time. Only then can we truly appreciate the righteousness of Jesus who came to this earth as our High Priest to save such people like us.
The trials that come on our journey of life are opportunities for us to encounter the righteousness of God. Our human travails provide us with the best opportunities to realize and believe in the gospel Truth of salvation through which the Lord has saved us from all the sins of the world. We know that God grants such difficulties to our lives to give us faith in His righteousness and nurture this faith to grow stronger. All of us must therefore meet our Savior through our trials and overcome them by faith.
We love the Lord. We can’t help but love the Lord who has come to us by the gospel of the water and the Spirit. And no matter how much we serve our Lord, what we do for Him cannot even be compared to the work of salvation that He has done for us. It’s such a wonderful joy for us to know and serve the righteousness of the Lord that we want everyone else to also realize what a blessing it is to serve the Lord, and that is precisely why we are spreading the gospel of the water and the Spirit so tirelessly.
This righteous work that we are now doing to spread the gospel of the water and the Spirit is truly worthwhile. Words can’t express just how grateful we are that we can live like this for the One who loves us so abundantly. The gospel of the water and the Spirit is so wonderful that it never ceases to amaze us, and all who are serving this beautiful gospel are wonderful people. Even though we may not seem so wonderful if we see ourselves just outwardly, when we look from our Lord’s perspective, we are actually leading the most beautiful and happiest life, for we have set our purpose in life on spreading the gospel of the water and the Spirit. We are so happy to live such a life that’s devoted to our beloved Lord. And we are so grateful that our Lord has blessed us to carry out His work, to live in joy, and to lead a worthwhile life. Words cannot describe just how thankful we are that the Lord has allowed us to live such a blessed life.
My dear fellow believers, Jesus Christ has blotted out all our sins by coming to this earth from the Kingdom of Heaven as our High Priest, being baptized, dying on the Cross, and rising up from the dead; and He has thereby saved us from all our sins and delivered us from the eternal curse of hell. So, we can never ever forget about Jesus Christ. How could we then not believe in the gospel grace of the water and the Spirit that Jesus Christ has given to us and let it ever pass by us? We can never allow this to happen.
But do you still think that since you have now been saved from all your sins by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, this is the end of the story and you don’t have to live out your faith? If you think like this, then you will surely be estranged from Jesus Christ soon. You have been saved from all your sins by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, but unless you express your heart’s joy to others, you will end up living a strange life. This world thinks that the believers in the gospel of the water and the Spirit are strange, but in God’s sight, it would be even stranger if you were to live while pretending not to believe in this gospel.
To deliver us from all the sins of the world and hell, the Lord came to this earth incarnated in the flesh of man; He bore all our sins by being baptized by John the Baptist; and He saved us from all our condemnation by being crucified to death and rising up from the dead. Although Jesus Christ is now sitting at the right hand of the throne of God the Father, He will come again to take us away some day. Who is really weird then? Given the fact Jesus came to this earth as our Savior to deliver us through the gospel of the water and the Spirit, isn’t it those who neither recognize nor believe in this Truth? It’s not the people of this world who should look at us strangely for believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, but it should be we who look at them as strange people.
In particular, anyone who does not believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit wholeheartedly even while abiding in God’s Church is peculiarly odd. Such people are ignorant of themselves, oblivious to the fact that they are weak and evil in God’s sight. The New Testament lists twelve kinds of sins that proceed from everyone’s heart, as it’s written in Mark 7:21-22: “From within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.” At the same time, however, the Bible also says in Romans 6:23, “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” And this gift that Jesus has given to all of us is the blessed fact that He has blotted out all our sins with the gospel of the water and the Spirit and granted us salvation and eternal life.
When we think about our past condition prior to believing in the righteousness of Jesus Christ, we know that we were all inevitably bound to hell. We were all sinners deserving to be condemned by God for our sins. However, when we humans had fallen into sin like this, the Lord came to this earth to save us from all the sins of the world, and He has actually delivered us through the gospel of the water and the Spirit. If you still don’t believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit despite all this, then it can only mean that you are a hopeless person ignorant of your own wicked self. Such people who don’t realize that they are sinners doomed straight to hell will indeed continue to live as sinners until they are actually thrown into hell.
Since everyone is born as a descendant of Adam, everyone is a born sinner. Were we not all destined to be cast into hell then? All of us were in fact sinners doomed to be cast into hell without any exception. In spite of this, however, Jesus Christ came looking for us and saved us from all our sins once and for all through the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Regardless of what kind of people you and I were, we could all be saved by hearing and believing in this gospel of the water and the Spirit with all our hearts. Like this, salvation knows no discrimination, and therefore anyone can be saved by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit.
All of us have been saved equally by believing in the same gospel of the water and the Spirit. Was anyone here saved even though he was hardly a sinner? Did any brother reach his salvation despite the fact he was a completely depraved sinner heading straight to hell? No, there is nothing that sets any of us apart from the rest of us; all of us had been depraved sinners, and all of us had been bound to hell equally. Even though we might have sinned in different ways, this does not change the fact that each and every one of us was a sinner. To pigeonhole ourselves into different classes of sinners is completely meaningless. If you commit a fraud, then you are a fraudster no matter how big or small the fraud is. In reality, we are all fraudsters, thieves, and adulterers bound to hell for our sins. Is this not true? Of course it is. The problem, of course, is that it takes a long time for people to realize this; it also took me a long time to recognize myself as such a depraved sinner.
Each and every sinner must realize that salvation can be reached only by believing in the righteousness of Christ. All of us ought to realize here that there is no difference that sets any of us apart from the rest of us as far as our salvation is concerned, and that all of us have been equally saved by believing in the same gospel of the water and the Spirit.
Even Buddhist monks know about the crucifixion of Jesus. They also know that Jesus has shown amazing love to the human race. However, they don’t know the righteousness of God that Jesus Christ has fulfilled through the gospel of the water and the Spirit. How about the Christians of this age? Do today’s Christians know and believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit? No, this is not the case. Too many Christians don’t even know about the righteousness of Jesus who came to this earth by the gospel of the water and the Spirit. There are countless Christians professing to lead a life of faith without even understanding the Truth of salvation, that Jesus bore all our sins by being baptized by John the Baptist and saved us by being crucified to death. I also had not known that I was a pile of sins for ten long years even while believing in Jesus as my Savior. But now I know very well that I was a depraved sinner, and I have accepted the gospel of the water and the Spirit and believe in this true gospel. Like this, those who have truly received the remission of sins have been saved by realizing and admitting all their sins and believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit that constitutes the righteousness of God.
Countless people remain unsaved even as they try so hard to build their own religious merits. Christianity therefore has the vital responsibility to preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit. We ought to have some sympathy for those who don’t believe in the righteousness of God and teach the gospel of the water and the Spirit to them. Even at this very moment, there are so many people all over the world who want to believe in Christianity. Given this demand, if today’s Christianity were to understand and preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit, countless people will no doubt receive the remission of sins.
  
 
Sometimes Your Heart Is Hardened by Your Own Greed
 
If our hearts are ever hardened, it’s all because of our own shortcomings, never because of the grace of our Lord who has blotted out all our sins is somehow insufficient. If any of us still has not received the Lord’s perfect salvation, it’s all because this person does not believe in the righteousness of God. And if you and I follow our own greed, it will only harden our hearts.
That our hearts can sometimes be hardened does not mean that the Lord did not bear all our sins. Far from it, the Lord has completely blotted out all our sins with His baptism and His blood on the Cross, from the past to the present and even unto the future. Therefore, if you believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit, you can be freed from all your sins and enjoy the God-given peace. You can rest in the righteousness of God.
All of us ought to meditate deeply on the righteousness of Jesus and believe in it wholeheartedly. Jesus is not only the Creator who made us, but He is also the Savior who came to this earth incarnated in the flesh of man in order to save us. By being baptized by John the Baptist at the age of 30, He bore all our sins and completely blotted them out, and by being crucified and shedding His blood to death three years later, He was condemned for all our sins in our place.
Who has brought the remission of sins to us for our sake? No one else but Jesus Christ has given us this remission of sins. That is what Jesus Christ has done for all of us, and that is why all of us ought to believe in Him. It’s only by believing in the righteousness of Jesus Christ that we can truly thank Him for the work of salvation that He has done for us to blot out all our sins. All of us ought to be deeply appreciative and grateful for the righteousness of God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. Our hearts must be filled with faith in the gospel of the water and the Spirit.
Because we believed in the righteousness of God, God the Father demanded the wages of sins from His Son rather than from us. It’s because we believed in the righteousness of Jesus that we were saved, and to this day we have followed the will of the Lord by faith. The Lord loves all of us, and this love contains His profound will to bring salvation to all human beings. That is why you and I are working so hard for the Lord, because we believe in Him and love Him. We have no other purpose but to spread the Lord’s love all over the world. It’s all because of the Lord’s love that I have been able to serve His righteousness with all my devotion to this very day. It’s only after I found the God-given gospel Word of the water and the Spirit that all my sins were blotted out of my heart. It’s only then that I grasped the Truth of salvation and realized exactly how the Lord had saved me.
It’s written in Matthew 3:15-17: “But Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.’ Then he allowed Him. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.’” When I read this passage, the Truth of salvation finally dawned on me, and I realized the following: “Aha! The Lord bore all my sins by being baptized by John the Baptist like this! He was then crucified to death for my sins, and He rose up from the dead after being buried in a cave tomb. He has saved me perfectly in this way. The Lord took upon all the sins of the entire human race through His baptism. Each and every sin of the human race has therefore now ended, and I no longer have any sin left! The Lord has not only saved me from all my sins, but He has also delivered the entire human race!” Once I understood this Truth of salvation by faith, it was so compellingly clear that I couldn’t help but thank God for it.
When I finally met the Lord like this, my heart was called on to fulfill a righteous duty. A new responsibility was given to me to make the gospel of the water and the Spirit known to everyone all over the world. Preaching the gospel all across the whole wide world is not just my duty, but it is an absolutely crucial duty shared by all the righteous saints living on this earth. Once I believed in the gospel of the water and the Spirit and received the remission of sins into my heart, I realized that countless people were still ignorant of this gospel of the water and the Spirit. From theologians to religious reformers, there was no one who knew the gospel of the water and the Spirit, and so I saw how important it was for me to preach the true gospel all over the world. I then began to pray to God, asking, “Lord God, please help me spread the gospel of the water and the Spirit throughout the whole world.”
I yearned to preach the Word of God so much that this was all I could think of even while lying in my bed to sleep. Indeed, I was overwhelmed by a burning desire to preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit. My mind was gripped by not only the gospel of the water and the Spirit, but also all the Word of God that I had read. I was so eager to preach this gospel Word of God that I began to preach it to anyone I came across. That is how I began to serve the gospel of the water and the Spirit, and to this very day, I have worked faithfully together with you.
It is by the guidance of the Holy Spirit that we have worked so hard to spread the gospel of the water and the Spirit all over the world. It’s the Holy Spirit who has stirred up our yearning to preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit. That is why we have been serving the gospel of the water and the Spirit to this day with all our hearts according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and that is why this genuine gospel is being spread throughout the whole world.
We are preaching the Word of God through our literature ministry, having dedicated all our bodies and hearts to this worthy cause. It’s the Lord’s love that has turned us into such diligent workers of God. And it’s because we love the Lord that we have been able to carry out our literature ministry for His sake. This literature ministry was begun because we knew that it was pleasing to God. The very moment that you and I believed in the gospel of the water and the Spirit and received the remission of sins, we were given the duty to preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit all over the world through our literature ministry. That is why you and I are working so hard even now to spread this beautiful gospel.
My fellow believers, God’s Church where we are abiding in is the exceedingly beautiful Kingdom of God. All of you abiding in God’s Church are abiding in the most beautiful spiritual realm. God’s Church is indeed wonderful.
Take a look at the testimonies of salvation sent to us from all over the world. On average, we receive at least 10 such testimonies of salvation every day. This means that 10 to 20 people are saved every day. The fact that 10 to 20 souls from all over the world are receiving the remission of sins every day is a remarkable achievement. What’s more, there probably are even more people receiving the remission of sins than what we know because not every reader who has received the remission of sins send us his testimony of salvation.
If there are others in this world that believe in and preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit like us, I’d be more than glad to give a standing ovation. Sadly, however, no one else in this whole world is actually preaching the gospel of the water and the Spirit at this point. But I am sure that countless co-workers will soon arise in every country and in every ethnic group to preach this genuine gospel together with us.
You and I are the only preachers of the gospel of the water and the Spirit in this whole wide world, and we are the most blessed people. We are so happy that we have come to believe in and preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Where else in this world could we ever live such a righteous and happy life? I give all thanks to our God for making us preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit.
