"One can be saved only if his basic nature, which is evil, is exposed. Man-made religions are nothing more than systems of hypocrisy. In other words, as human beings have wrapped up their fundamental wickedness with a cover of hypocrisy called religion, they themselves do not realize that they are all evil beings. So, people cannot see their true selves filled with sin, and have fallen into a great delusion, considering themselves virtuous.
That is why unlike human beings, who try to prevent their sins from being exposed, God wants their sins to be revealed. Mankind’s sins cannot be hidden from God. God wants to expose people’s sins and heal them. It is only after mankind’s evils are exposed that God can give the remission of sin to every sinner, and that is why God is pleased to see our sins fully exposed.
Only those who admit that they are infallibly bound to hell if they continue in their way can receive the remission of their sins by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit.
In order to save mankind from sin, God had raised John the Baptist to be the representative of mankind and made him pass everyone's sins onto the body of Jesus, thereby fulfilling His righteousness.
God has ensured that man would be saved from sin with understanding. The mystery of being born again does not mean that God worked on the salvation plan of mankind in a way that no one could understand, but He worked in a way that anyone who really fears God and whose heart is ready to receive Him could understand it."
