The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of GOD, which taketh away the sIn of the world. This is He of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for He was before me. And I knew Him not: but that He should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from Heaven like a dove, and it abode upon Him. And I knew Him not: but He that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, the same is He which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of GOD. (Joh 1:29-34)
Jesus, the Lamb of GOD slain from the foundation of the world, came unto His own with the Kingdom of Heaven. They rejected the King and crucified the Lord of Glory as determined by GOD before we had even rebelled against Him. The King of the Jews came to offer Himself as the perfect sacrifice for sIn, and humbly went to the Cross in submission and obedience to the Father to pay our sIn debt. He lived a perfect life and gave His life as a ransom for many, that those who receive Him by faith and with repentance would have eternal life with Him.
We cannot pay our sIn debt, for all our righteousness is as filthy rags, and no works of the Law can justify any one. We must repent of our sIn and receive His perfect sacrifice on our behalf by faith to be saved. He is the only way to the Father, and His sacrifice is the only and sufficient payment for our sIn. This mystery was not known before the Cross, for had they known they would not have crucified Jesus. We must, as His disciples, as John did bear record of who Christ is, and what He has done in and for us, so that this world may know Him and the grace which He offers to every man.
We who are His and indwelt with the Holy Spirit, being born again, not in words or deeds, but in the power of GOD from above, are to take Him to this lost and dying world. We are to minister, as His ambassadors, to those around us who are hurting and in need, that they may see Jesus in us, the hope of Glory. We are to disciple one another in love and in His Word, that we may all grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are to proclaim the Good News of reconciliation with GOD the Father through grace by faith in the finished and perfect work of Jesus on the Cross of Calvary that those who believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ might be born again by the Spirit and have life in His Name.
For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.
In Christ,
