No one is fundamentally virtuous. That is why it is said in the Bible, “There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God. They have all turned aside; They have together become unprofitable; There is none who does good, no, not one,” (Romans 3:10-12). God is saying to all people, “You are a lewd human being.” Do you think people could lead a holy life by themselves? That is such a great misapprehension. Even so, the world is teaching people that they can live virtuously, and the consequence of this false teaching is that people only become hypocrites, acting as if they were virtuous. Do we have to believe in the baptism of Jesus to be saved from all our sins? Yes! We do! We have to accept the truth of the fact Jesus took away all the sins of the world through His baptism. If we do not believe in the baptism of Jesus, our sins cannot be passed onto Him. We must believe in order to make our salvation complete. Otherwise, we cannot become righteous. https://www.bjnewlife.org/en/sermons/sermonsDetail.php?idx=2964&findLang=English
