We must look at our true selves that commit so many sins and constantly ruminate the fact that through the gospel of the water and the Spirit, the Lord saved you and me who are like that. We must constantly profess the confession of faith. Our hearts find balance, our physical body finds balance, and the direction of our faith finds balance when we constantly confess that the Lord has really saved us with the gospel of the water and the Spirit.
Even though we have received salvation from sin, the Lord’s work is not fulfilled if we just do the Lord’s work recklessly. We must first think of God’s work. We must profess the confession of faith hundreds and even thousands of times a day. Only then can we lead such a spiritual life that our Lord is pleased with. What did the Lord say? The Lord said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.” Then, who should be pitied? Should it be Jesus, or us? We are the beings that should be pitied. Although we have received salvation by faith, we are prone to make people fall into a trap and we also fall into the same trap ourselves by falling into fleshly thinking like the way a spider spins a web. It means that the fleshly thinking plots a trap to bring down even the saints themselves and the Church.
Because you are like that, and because I am like that, we must realize that we are not upright and only depend on the Lord. We must believe that the Lord took all our sins through His baptism and understand why the Lord had to shed His blood on the Cross and give thanks for the work of His salvation. We must always give thanks with faith. We can go wrong at any time and everything becomes wrong when the outcome is wrong. If we go against the gospel, go against the servants of God, go against God’s people, and even go against God even though we say we believe in the Lord, then, it would not matter if we believed in God in the past or not. Such things do not matter at all. Therefore, we must always look at ourselves and weep for ourselves, and always profess our faith before the presence of God. That is the only way to be faithful in our life of faith.
