How weak is a human being?
When we examine ourselves as human beings, do we really live by lofty ideals, excellent abilities, power, and perspectives? In actuality, we fall short of these qualities. We may have lofty ideals in our heads but people cannot live up to their ideals by themselves. We are such weak beings.
But, often we overvalue ourselves out of our misunderstanding about our fundamental nature. Hence, people struggle because they do not know themselves. That is because people have such great faith in themselves initially, only to disappoint themselves when they find their own weaknesses.
We are all born with sin in our hearts and therefore we commit sinful acts due to the sinful desires that are within us from our very birth in this world. We cannot escape Gods judgement if He were to carry it out right now.
We commit sins as much as “a thick cloud” while we live in this world (Isaiah 44:22).
Yet, our Lord says that He has taken away all the sins of the world through the baptism He received from John the Baptist.
Jesus knows very well that you cannot help but commit sins while you are awake or sleeping. We repeatedly commit sins like a hamster in a treadmill.
However, the Bible tells us that Jesus has taken all the sins of the world we commit until the day we breathe our last breath once and for all through His baptism received from John the Baptist, then, he took the sins of the world onto the Cross, where He received the judgments for all our sins by shedding His precious blood.
Thus, to the believers, there is no sin of this world in them. Although we are weak and deficient in many areas, believers have no sin in them because our Lord has taken all their sins onto Himself.
It is obvious that you and I would not have been delivered from all the sins of the world, if Jesus had not been baptized by John the Baptist, through which Jesus took all the sins of the world. (John 1:29, Matthew 3:15)
