We may think that it is impossible for us to become righteous, but it is possible if we believe in the righteousness of God before His awesome presence. (Matthew 3:13-15)
We are people who are always lacking before the presence of God, and before other people. We fall short in all areas of our lives due to the weakness of our flesh. And on top of this God has given us the Law, and we become even more sinful when we look at our deeds in detail according to the Law. God cannot just pass over these shortcomings. According to God’s Law, a person who has sin must definitely die and be judged to hell without remedy. We are the very people who are deserving of the judgment for sins. (Romans 6:23)
Because of this situation, God sent His Son to this world for us, transferred all our sins to His Son’s body by the baptism that He received from John the Baptist, made His Son be crucified on the Cross to pay for our sins and resurrected Him from death and through this, He saved us eternally. (1 John 5:6-8)
If we really want to receive the remission of sins, as we so desire in our hearts, we must believe in the righteousness of God, which was fulfilled by the baptism that Jesus received from John the Baptist to take on all our sins.
