Because of our sins, we are bound to hell, tormented, and deceived by Satan, but Jesus came to save such people as us, to make us righteous and turn us into God’s children.
As sins were passed onto the sacrificial offering when hands were laid on its head, all our sins were passed onto Jesus when John the Baptist baptized Him. (Leviticus 16:21, Matthew 3:15)
When Jesus was baptized and came out of water, the Holy Spirit descended like a dove and testified that He was the Son of God. The Holy Spirit is the One who bore witness to Jesus Christ. In other words, God the Father Himself testified through the Holy Spirit that His Son Jesus accepted all the sins of mankind through His baptism. (Isaiah 53:6, Matthew 3:13-15)
Because the sins of mankind were actually passed onto Jesus, God tells us that we are sinless. Had Jesus not taken away all sins when He came to this earth, we would still remain as sinners no matter how ardently we believe in Him.
Having blotted out all sins, God is telling us, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household” (Acts 16:31). It is by believing that we receive eternal life.
