"Jesus Christ has saved people who have neither their own righteousness nor their own virtues, who know that they are insufficient, and who realize that they are sinful and therefore doomed to hell. It’s to save precisely these people that the Lord came to this earth. God did not come to this earth to save those whose lives are virtuous, upright, and righteous, and who labor and try hard to dedicate their lives to others. It’s not to bless such people that Jesus came. On the contrary, Jesus Christ came to this earth to save from sin those who see themselves as insufficient, weak, and sinful beings, to bless these people, and to blot out their sins. According to this will of God, Jesus has saved you and me perfectly and made us God’s own cherished people.
By being baptized, the Lord accepted all our sins, and as He was crucified on both His hands and feet, He poured out all His blood and died in our place. The Almighty God Himself came to this earth incarnated in the flesh, and He was baptized by John the Baptist in order to blot out all your sins and mine. He took away all these sins through this baptism. This is how the Lord has saved you and me.

Those who are devoid of their own righteousness accept this Jesus as their Savior. In other words, it is people who lack their own virtues that accept Jesus as their God and Savior. However, what about those who consider themselves as good, virtuous, and righteous people? They have trouble accepting the salvation of Jesus. They are not only unable to accept it, but they actually stand against it. They think to themselves, “I’d rather believe in my own fist than in Jesus. I’d rather believe in my own heart than Jesus. I’d rather believe in my own good deeds, my own thoughts, and my own righteous acts. I’d rather believe in myself.” These people ultimately end up rejecting Jesus because of these mistaken thoughts."
