First, I would like to define what the sin is. There are sins defined by God, and there are sins defined by humankind. The word sin, in Greek, means to ‘miss the mark.’ It means not getting it right. It is a sin if we don’t follow the orders of God correctly. Let’s first take a look at sins as defined by humankind.

Before I continue, I would like to ask you a question. What do you think of yourself? Do you think you are quite good or quite bad? What do you think?
All people live under their own illusions. You are probably not so bad as you think nor quite as good as you think.
Who then do you think will lead a better life of faith? Will it be those who think of themselves as good or those who think of themselves as bad?

Luke 10:28, “Do this and you will live.”
People live with many mistaken illusions. It seems that they are especially vulnerable in this respect. They seem to be intelligent but are easily deceived and remain unaware of their evil sides. We are born without knowing ourselves, but we still live as if we do. Because people do not know themselves, the Bible tells us that we are sinners.
People talk about the existence of their own sins. And they are incapable of doing good, yet they are too inclined to characterize themselves as good. They want to boast of their good works and show off. They say they are sinners but act as if they were very good.

Jesus gave us eternal redemption. There is no one in this world who cannot be redeemed if they believe in Jesus as their Savior. He redeemed us all. If there is a sinner who agonizes over their sins, it is because they do not understand how Jesus has delivered them of all sins with His baptism.
We should all know and believe in the secret of salvation. Jesus took over all our sins with His baptism and has borne the judgment for our sins by dying on the Cross.

Our Lord God has cut off the shackles of sin for all people. All those who labor under sin are slaves. He removed all our sins. Is there anyone who still suffers from sin?
We have to understand that our warfare against sin has ended. We shall never suffer from sin again. Our bondage to sin ended when Jesus redeemed us; all sins ended then and there. All our sins have been expiated by His Son. God paid for all our sins through Jesus who set us free, forever.

Did Jesus come by water? Yes, He did. He came by His baptism. The water is the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist at the Jordan River. It was the baptism of redemption with which He took away all the sins of the world.
Did Jesus come by blood? Yes, He did. He came in the flesh of man and was baptized to take away all the sins of the world, then paid off the wages of sin by bleeding on the Cross. Jesus came by blood.

We were born on this earth, but before that God already knew us. He knew that we would be born sinners and saved all of us believers through His baptism, which took away all the sins of the world. He saved all believers and made them all His people.
All this is the result of the grace of God. As it is said in Psalms 8:4, “What is man that You are mindful of him” Those who are saved from all sins are the recipients of His special love. They are His children.

Why did Jesus wash Peter’s feet on the day before the feast of the Passover? While washing his feet, Jesus said, “You do not understand now, but you will know after this.” Simon Peter was the best of Jesus’ disciples. He believed that Jesus was the Son of God and testified that Jesus was the Christ. And as Jesus washed his feet, there must have been a good reason for doing so. When Peter confessed his belief that Jesus was the Christ, it meant that he believed Jesus to be the Savior who would save him from all his sins.

Ransom

 The price paid for the redemption of a captive person, mortgaged property or debt; the act of solving a problem with money. Used most often as the positive representation of redemption (ex: Exodus 21:30, ‘sum of money’; Numbers 35:31-32, Isaiah 43:3, ‘ransom’). In the New Testament, Matthew 20:28 and Mark 10:45 describe ransom as the “payment of money.”

Question 1: I have been reading the books you were kind enough to send me and find some of your concepts on the baptism of Jesus interesting. Can you tell me what you teach about the relationship of our baptism to the baptism, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ?
Answer: First of all, we should pay attention to “the baptisms” as written in Hebrews 6:2. According to the Bible, there are three different baptisms; the baptism of John the Baptist for repentance, the baptism Jesus received from John the Baptist, and our water baptism as a ritual.
