Let me ask you another question. Who is more likely to be redeemed—the one who has committed more sins or the one who has committed only a few sins? The one who admits that he/she has committed countless sins is more likely to be redeemed because the person accepts that he/she is a grave sinner. Such a person can better accept the Word of redemption prepared for him/her by Jesus.

When we really look at ourselves, it is evident that we are merely masses of sin. What are human beings? A PERSON IS ONLY ‘A SEED OF EVILDOERS.’ In Isaiah 59, it states that there are all kinds of iniquities in the hearts of people. Therefore, it is clear that people are masses of sin. However, if we define humankind as a mass of sin, many will disagree.

But, defining a person as ‘a seed of evildoers’ is the correct definition. If we honestly look at ourselves, it is clearly obvious that we are evil beings. THOSE WHO ARE HONEST WITH THEMSELVES MUST ARRIVE AT THIS VERY SAME CONCLUSION. But, it seems that most people refuse to admit that they are indeed masses of sin. Many live comfortably because they do not consider themselves as sinners

SINCE WE ARE EVILDOERS , WE HAVE CREATED A SINFUL CIVILIZATION. If it were not true, we would be too ashamed to sin. However, many of us do not feel ashamed while committing sins. Nevertheless, their consciences know. Everyone has a conscience that tells him/her, “It is shameful.”

Adam and Eve hid themselves among the trees after they had sinned. Today, many sinners hide themselves behind our vile culture—our culture of sin. They hide themselves among their fellow sinners to avoid the judgment of God. People are deceived by their own illusions. They think themselves to be more virtuous than others. So, when they hear about some bad news, they cry out in rage, “How can a person do such things? How can a man do that? How can a son do that to his own parents?” They themselves believe that they would not do such things.

Dear friends, it is so hard for you to know yourselves. In order to truly know ourselves, we must first receive the remission of sins. It takes a long time for us to obtain the correct knowledge on our human nature, and there are so many of us who will never find this out until the day they die.

KNOW YOURSELF

How do those who don’t know themselves live? They live hypocritical lives trying to Hide their sinful selves.

Sometimes we come to encounter such people who really don’t know themselves. Socrates said, “Know yourself.” However, most of us do not know what is in our hearts: murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye.... One who doesn’t know oneself has the venom of a serpent on his/her lips but speaks of goodness.

The reason for this is because the person doesn’t know that he/she was born as an INEVITABLE SINNER. There are so many in this world who do not know their true natures. They have deceived themselves and end up living their lives completely wrapped up in their own deceptions. They do not understand that they are throwing themselves into hell because of their self–deceptions.

PEOPLE SPILL SIN CONTINUOUSLY ALL THEIR LIVES

Why are they going to hell? Because they don’t know themselves.

Let’s look at Mark 7:21-23. “For from WITHIN, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.” The hearts of people are filled with evil thoughts from the day they are conceived.

Let us just imagine that a person’s heart is made of glass and filled to the brim with some filthy liquid, namely, our sins. What would happen if this person moved back and forth? The filthy liquid (sin) would of course spill everywhere. As the person moves about, sin would repeatedly spill all over the place. We, who are but masses of sin, live out our lives just like that. We spill sin wherever we go. We will sin throughout our lives because we are masses of sin.

The problem is that we do not realize that we are masses of sin, or in other words, the seeds of sin. We are masses of sin and have sin in our hearts from the day of our births. The masses of sin are ready to overflow. However, people do not believe that they are, in fact, inherently sinful. They think that others lead them into sin and therefore, they aren’t the ones who are bad.

Even while committing sins, people think that the only requirement needed to wash themselves clean again is for sin to be expunged. They keep wiping up after themselves every time they sin, telling themselves that it is not their own faults.

Just because we clean up after ourselves, does it mean that it’s okay to keep on spilling? We would have to continually wipe up over and over again. When a glass is full of sin, it will keep on spilling. There is no use in wiping up the outside. No matter how often we wipe the outside with our virtuous deeds, IT IS USELESS, as long as the glass full of sin. We are born with so much sin that our hearts will never become empty; no matter how much sin we spill along the way. Therefore, we commit sins throughout our lives. When someone does not realize that he/she is indeed just a mass of sin, he/she continues to hide his/her sinful nature.

SIN IS IN THE HEARTS OF ALL PEOPLE AND IT DOES NOT GO AWAY BY WIPING THE SURFACE CLEAN. When we spill a little sin, we wipe it up with cloth and when we spill again, we wipe it up with a mop…a towel and then a rug.... We keep hoping that if we just keep wiping up the mess over and over again, it will be clean, but it simply spills again and again. How long do you think this will go on? It goes on until the day a person dies. People act sinfully until their dying days. This is why we have to believe in Jesus to be redeemed. TO BE REDEEMED, WE NEED TO FIRST KNOW OURSELVES.

WHY IS CHRISTIANITY IN SO MUCH DECLINE ALL OVER THE WORLD?

Why are many Christians turning into ATHEISTS or New Agers? Why are christian youths leaving the church in droves? Why are many christians still in agony of their sins whilst claiming to have been saved and languishing in self deception ? Why are some Christians comfortable to be tagged as sinners even when they should have been made sanctified and RIGHTEOUS by God through His gospel of truth ? Why is present-day Christianity unable to truly solve the problem of sins for people and instead, have laid heaven burdens on them, thereby leaving many desolate and depressed, and eventually turning their back on God to their own detriment?

It all boils down to the fact that present-day Christianity has indeed lost the light of the TRUE AND COMPLETE gospel of water and spirit which grants more ASSURANCE and the HOLYSPIRIT to all who understands and wholeheartedly believes in it.

Pls, open up your bible now, use it to read these FREE amazing e-books all containing the gospel of water and spirit, by ordering for the printed copies or by downloading them from the site www.bjnewlife.org.

ETERNITY IS A LONG TIME TO BE WRONG!

Every sinner had to die because of his respective sin but when people go before God by faith in the water of Jesus’ baptism and the blood that He shed, no one receives judgment.

And let him who thirsts come. And whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. " (Revelation 22:17)
