God’s Word makes it clear beyond any doubts that we are inherently sinful beings, wrapped up in our own hypocrisy, but because we do not acknowledge the Word of God with our hearts, He makes our true sinful nature appear throughout our lives. If we do not agree with the written Word of God, then God’s Word will fight and overcome our own self delusions. (Mark 7:21-23, Psalm 51:5) 

But once we admit our evil selves by trusting in God’s Word of Truth, we can receive the remission of sins by faith in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. (John 3:5)

On our own, we did not know that there were such evils in us, but the Lord exposes our wickedness so that we could not but see and recognize these evils. Having done this, the Lord then saved us through the baptism and blood of Jesus. Therefore, the more our evils are exposed, the more we should thank the Lord. (Romans 3:5, 15-20)

As such, everyone should acknowledge God’s Word of Truth as soon as possible, thus turning themselves in to God as a brood of evildoers filled with hypocrisy, and be born again by believing that Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist to take away all their sins and was crucified to bear the punishment in their place.
