To fulfil our salvation, God revealed His amazing wisdom. Indeed, John the Baptist obeyed the will of God that had been set up by His wisdom, and by doing so, he made it possible for all of us to be saved in Jesus Christ. We must therefore realize just how wisely God has saved everyone all over the world, you and me alike, from all its sins. We can see that by sending John the Baptist to this earth and making him carry out His work, God ensured that our salvation would be fulfilled with His justice and love. Through John the Baptist, the representative of mankind, God passed the sins of the world onto Jesus Christ at His baptism, having Him accept and bear all the sins of the world once and for all. Having thus shouldered all our sins, Jesus then shed His blood on the Cross, suffered our death, rose from the dead again, and thereby fulfilled our everlasting salvation.
