It is absolutely heartbreaking to see just how skillfully Satan has deceived human beings from the very beginning by using God's own written Word but twisting it ever so slightly to make people convinced that they do believe in God. (Genesis 3:1) But in all actuality, he has utterly deceived them to believe in his own words of death instead! He really is a professional, evil, scam artist! (John 8:44)
However, God and His Word alone are true and forever unchanging. Thank God for that! Otherwise, all of us would have no hope whatsoever! We would all have no choice but to swallow Satan's lies whole and in the end, accompany him in hell as his captives. (Acts 26:18) Ooooh! It sends a shiver down my spine just thinking about it!
I have been moved to write this, after just reading someone's comment on a righteous servant's post about the one true God-given gospel of the water and the Spirit. The man is "up in arms" at the truth of the matter that Jesus Christ not only took away our past and present sins by being baptized by John the Baptist, but that He took away even all our future sins too; the sins that everyone's weak flesh will continue to commit until the day we die .... saved or not saved.
Of course, the man's response no doubt is due to how he has been taught by his sinful pastor who himself has also been taught and believed incorrectly and therefore still has all his sins intact, too. But, even the basic common sense of an unlearned person (like myself), can recognise when told by a righteous person that Jesus when He was baptized didn't leave any sin behind whatsoever, that that actually makes sense?! Even when a mere human being sweeps and mops their kitchen floor, they don't not clean a certain part of the floor and leave it dirty!! If they DID, they would be seen as a crackpot who's clearly not right in the head!
Yet we are talking about the Almighty, powerful, omniscient, omnipotent, Alpha and Omega, Creator of the heavens and the earth! (Genesis 1:1) He is totally capable of taking away ALL our sins ONCE and for all! Yes, even the sins that we haven't, but surely will, commit in the future!
To doubt or disbelieve that "ALL things ARE possible with God", will surely be to your own detriment, in this world and the next. (Mark 9:23) If you don't deny such wicked thoughts, (Matthew 16:24), you are literally siding with the Devil, believing his lying words over God's Word of Truth. You are believing the Devil's words of eternal death instead of God's Word of eternal life; the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Why would anyone commit spiritual suicide like that for no good reason, when His servants have, and continue to, tell you the plain and simple truth, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29) How did John the Baptist know this? Because it was he himself who the day prior had baptized Jesus in the form of the laying on of hands to pass onto Him all our sins as the representative of humankind and the last earthly high priest sent to this world by God for this very reason. (Lev 16:21, Isaiah 34:16, John 1:6-7, 29).
Likewise today, God's servants are shouting from the rooftops for people to awake out of slumber and the hypnosis of the Devil's wicked deception and come to the knowledge of the Truth of God's perfect and eternal redemption and BELIEVE in it from your heart. (Hosea 4:6, Matthew 25:5, 2 Peter 2:3) That's the only way to be set free; free from the stranglehold of Satan, free from his hellbound lies and ultimately free from ALL your past, present and yes, even your future sins once for all. (John 8:32, Acts 10:43)
To add insult to injury, another lie Satan uses to prevent you from knowing and believing in the Truth is by telling you that you can always investigate further into "that gospel of the water and the Spirit, another time when you're not so busy. After all, you've just had Christmas and New Year haven't you? You need to 'get back to normal', get back to work, pay those Bills, start your New Year resolutions to start a new healthy lifestyle and start going to the gym' etc
But, what does God's Word of Truth say? "Seek FIRST the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 6:33)
In the end, or, "at the end of the day", (a very common terminology nowadays), it all boils down to whose words you choose to believe; Satan's that tell you it's impossible for anyone to be made sinless and Jesus only took away original sin but you need to ask for forgiveness of sins when you sin with prayers of repentance. Or, will you believe in God's recorded written Word of Truth; that John the Baptist baptized Jesus to pass all your sins onto Him as the Lamb of God? And do you believe that as a direct result, Jesus was judged to death in our place for those sins of ours and was crucified on the Cross? (Matthew 3:15, 1 John 5:6-8) If you choose to believe the latter, then thank God because it is His Holy Spirit who has opened your understanding of the Scriptures and given you the conviction of the water and the blood of Jesus in your heart! Now, you need to confess as much with your mouth. This is the confession of faith in the Truth that sets you free and saves you from all your sins, perfectly, as only a perfect God can do!
(Romans 10:10)
"For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
