The sacrificial system in the Old Testament was the stepping-stones of God’s revelation to reach the whole truth of His salvation, and it enables us to receive the remission of our sins infallibly by understanding and believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Jesus has enabled us to realize why He had to be baptized by John the Baptist, and how, because of this baptism, He had to shed His blood by dying on the Cross. It is only when we reach the correct understanding of this gospel truth that we can truly be saved and become God’s own people. The gospel truth of the water and the Spirit that Jesus has given us is what enables us to correctly understand and believe in His public ministries of salvation. In the Old Testament the Word of God records the prophesy of mankind’s salvation, that the Son of God would come to this earth, and just as hands were laid on the sacrificial offering of the Old Testament and its blood was shed, Jesus would take upon Himself all the sins of the world once and for all by being baptized by John the Baptist, shed His blood by dying on the Cross, and thereby save all the sinners of the world from their sins. https://www.bjnewlife.org/en/sermons/sermonsDetail.php?idx=2166&findLang=English
