If we have a clear understanding of this present age, we should take care of our problems easily. Of course, recognising the reality of this age doesn't mean that the consequences would be different from what the Lord said, but we can at least know what awaits us and prepare ourselves for them beforehand. If you fail to grasp the age you are living in, you will end up stumbling and abandoning your faith. I hope and pray this never happens to any of you. Will any of us benefit if we allows this to happen? No, it would be to our own detriment.
The Lord said that He would return when the gospel is preached to the entire world. Then I should preach the gospel to everyone in the world. Even though I have nothing but shortcomings, I must preach the gospel until the end. The Lord has saved everyone through the gospel Truth of the water and the Spirit.
By paying off our sins with His baptism and blood, Jesus has become our Savior. He has rid the sins of all those who believe in His salvation and resurrection. That is why all the four Gospels start with the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. The purpose of His human life was to fulfill the gospel of being born again, the gospel of salvation.
