WHY WAS JESUS CRUCIFIED?

The blood that Jesus shed on the Cross could have efficacy for our salvation because He had taken upon the sins of the world once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River. All the religionists of this world do not realize that Jesus accepted the sins of the world by being baptized by John the Baptist, died on the Cross, and rose from the dead again, all to blot out the sins of this world once and for all through the gospel Truth of the water and the Spirit. Now, anyone who wants to receive the remission of his sins must know the gospel of the water and the Spirit exactly, under the six basic elements of facts: “Who, when, where, what, how and why.” God’s Word is the Truth. The Word of God is not a superstition. God’s Truth is the Word of Truth that fits exactly, even when it is tested under the six basic elements of fact of human perspective. Those who still have not received the remission of sin into their hearts must now find out the reason why Jesus was baptized and shed His blood, and believe in this fact.

Do you know why you were born in this world? Do you know the reason and purpose for which God created the human race? God chose us in Christ even before the foundation of the world, and to make us His children, He created mankind on the sixth day of His creation of the heavens and the earth. In allowing us to be born in this world, God planned to enable us to receive everlasting life as His eternal children—in other words, God wanted to make us His own people by giving the blessing of rebirth to those of us who believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. That is why God gave us the gospel of the water and the Spirit, so that we humans would be born again according to His plan.

Why did Jesus Christ come to this earth? It was to save us from the sins of the world, and to make us His children, that God sent His only begotten Son Jesus to this earth, and when Jesus came to this earth, He was baptized by John and shed His blood on the Cross, thereby saving sinners from sin. We must believe in this gospel of the water and the Spirit with our hearts. If Jesus Christ indeed took upon all the sins of this world by being baptized by John the Baptist, then we should believe in this truth with all our hearts. Through this baptism that Jesus Christ received, he took away all the sins of our entire lifetime, and He was crucified. Jesus, having received His baptism from John, bore the sins of mankind and washed them all away once and for all. By thus being baptized by John and crucified, Jesus Christ paid the wages of our sins. We should therefore be grateful for the baptism of Jesus Christ, for His resurrection and for His second coming as well.

One must not think that his rebirth from sin depends on his own good deeds. To save us from the sins of the world, and to make us God’s children in the likeness of His image, Jesus, who is the true God Himself, received from John the Baptist the baptism through which He accepted the sins of the world; to bear the condemnation of sin, He was crucified and shed His blood on the Cross; and rising from the dead, He has enabled us to be born again as God’s children.
