    A WIFE IS BOUND TO HER HUSBAND BY THE LAW WHILE HE STILL LIVES( Romans 7:2)

    A WIFE IS BOUND TO HER HUSBAND BY THE LAW WHILE HE STILL LIVES (Romans 7:2). Hello everyone, I would like to share my review on the Book of Romans titled ALREADY COMPLETED SALVATION written by Rev Paul C Jong. This review is much concentrated on the lesson learned from Romans Chapter 7, 8 and 9. My sincerest desire is that you may also get an opportunity to discover the concrete truth of the complete salvation that Jesus Christ has bestowed on us all mankind through both His baptism and death. This truth shows how completely free we are from death and entering hell once we believe wholeheartedly. May God continue to blessing His work through His true Servant Rev Jong and all the other faithful Servants beside him. May God continue to granting good health by healing any chaotic conditions that may hinder His work upon the lives of His Servant in Christ Jesus our LORD. All Glory to Wisdom! Amen.My lesson is actually not from anywhere else but only through the perspective of the gospel of the water and the Spirit as recorded in this precious Book. As the title of my review reads, A WIFE IS BOUND TO HER HUSBAND BY THE LAW WHILE HE STILL LIVES. This shows how important it is to be joined together as One, I speak in a laymen understanding. But Spiritually speaking just as the wife is under her husband from marriage until death of the husband do them apart, so Romans 7 Is teaching us how one is bound to the Law as long as he lives. Because the law as authority over the Living, so any person who is alive is ruled by it. In short the wife cannot be a free woman and have a chance to get married to another husband unless the husband dies, so is anyone who is still alive in sin remain in it unless they die to it. This death only happens when one believes that Jesus took away all sins through His baptism (transferring of all sins), paid the wages of sin once for all on the Cross with His precious blood (Judgement). When We Believe in this truth we become those who have died to the Law through Christ. Hallelujah!!!Romans 7 has basically taught me that, just as the wife’s freedom from being bound to her husband depends on the husband’s death. So no matter the different strategies or ways the wife may try to use to obtain that freedom it can never work because they are a single body. So the wife cannot escape her duty before the husband as they are joined as one, so only death can separate this joined body of a husband and wife. Thereby giving freedom to the wife that she can be remarried. Spiritually speaking, Romans 7 is has taught me, how anyone who is still hanged to the Law is bound to it as long as he lives. In short everyone born on this earth is born bound to the Law as the husband, so is everyone subjected to everything that the Law (husband) comes with. So as long as we live once born on this earth, it is everyone’s duty to take everything the law brings as its own. So no matter how one may try to escape from the law by oneself except through death, it is actually impossible to escape or be free from it by oneself.In simpler way, no humanity can escape sin by oneself, either through his effort, deeds or obedience regardless how one may will to do so. Why? It because anyone who lives under the Law can not help but rather be exposed how helpless and unable he is, that not even a single amount of his effort or obedience is able to remove sin. That’s why today many souls who are under the Law can not help but live either in pretence (trying to hide among their traditions and customs, just show some sort of goodness) or they live publicly or privately in offerings donations or charity services to their denominations and devoted in offering consistent repentance prayers. Even in such pretentious and hypocritical way of living, sin still remains intact in their heart. As mentioned earlier own, no wife is freely unbound to her husband as long as he still lives, so can no mankind be free from been bound to the Law without passing through death.In conclusion Romans 7 is the absolute true word that reveals the true helpless condition of a person under the law (one who knows what is good yet cannot perform it because sin dwells within). Every time one tries to live by the law, only his failure to live by it manifest in short sin is exposed from his heart and conscience, so is publicly visible. So because of such undissolved helpless condition, one needs to reach to point of seeking how he may be delivered from such helpless living with sin intact in the heart, and this is the only gist of the law before mankind. To reveal mankind’s wickedness or sinful nature (Mark 7:21-23) (Romans 3:20) and lead mankind to the only true deliverer of its sin. This deliverance can never happen anywhere else but in Christ, because He is the only Way that lead one to be put to death to the law as He took all mankind’s sins upon Himself through the baptism he received from John the Baptist at the River Jordan, paid the wages of every single sin of past, present and future He took from His baptism with His precious blood and resurrected on the third day to give a new life to us who have believed in this truth of our new Husband Jesus Christ and to you too only when you believe in this truth wholeheartedly. Hallelujah!!! That is why it is said in Romans 7 verse 4, that we have died to law through Christ. So this death to the law through Christ can only manifest in ones life, as one comes to believe wholeheartedly in this work performed by Jesus Christ Himself even, His baptism, death and resurrection.Additionally, chapter 8 now gives us a total remembrance that we have completely died to the law and it curse when we hold on to the truth that Jesus took away all sins through His baptism, paid the price of sin with His blood on the cross and rose again to justify us wholly as He fulfilled all the righteousness of God (making all mankind sinless) (Matthew 3:15). So now that we have become married to Christ through our faith in both His baptism and death, there is now no condemnation to us, because Jesus has fulfilled all righteousness, and the Holy Spirit now dwells in us the believers, testifying that we are God’s children, freeing us from the law of sin and death, and assuring us that nothing can separate us from God’s love Amen. It also teaches us the believers to living not by the flesh (guilty, self-condemnation or unbelief of this truth) but rather to live by faith in the completed work of Christ. Amen!Nevertheless, chapter 9 wholly teaches us that, salvation does not depend on us or anything else except through the completed work of Jesus Christ of both His baptism, death and resurrection as had planned by God the Father. Thus, everyone must erase the notions of thinking that God’s salvation for all mankind is somehow centred in favouritism, human will or effort but only on God’s mercy alone. To become part of God’s own people does not depend on physical attributes, lineage or ones works. Regardless who we are, everyone of us is only qualified to be part of God’s people only by faith the already completed work of Christ of both His baptism, and death. Because even the Israelites, are made His own people by covenant (Christ coming as the Messiah), so are we the Gentiles made God’s people by the same fulfilled promise (Jesus came as the Son of Man, that is, He came incarnated as the Savior, thus received baptism from John and took away all the sins of the world, died to pay the wages and rose again to give us new life even though we were orphans. Hallelujah!!!So Romans 9 is a blessed chapter that is revealing the concrete purpose of God for all mankind, that is to show His mercy to everyone who receive the already fulfilled righteousness of His, through faith in the gospel truth of the water and the Spirit which constitutes both Jesus’s baptism, death and resurrection. Hallelujah!!! All Glory to Wisdom! I hope you come to humbly accept this truth by denying yourself and come to delight together in the beautiful already completed work of Christ as a bride of Christ. May God bless you.Coworker Nazir, Zambia.

    Returning to the Truth: A Deep Dive into the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit by Paul C. Jong

    Hi everyone.It is astoundingly clear reading this book, that Paul C. Jong has dedicated his life to helping people return to the gospel of the water and the spirit; The title of his second book, the new revised edition. This book gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation of the gospel of the water and the spirit which is the main topic weaved throughout all his 68 books.It explains how most present-day Christians are unable to be saved from their sins because they are believing in the many false religions that have sprung up, especially from theology. These religious leaders have interpreted the word of God according to their own thoughts and the motivation of their flesh. However, for those who want to come back to God and his written Word, Paul C Jong boldly says to them, "Salvation from sin is already complete. The gate of heaven is open. Whoever heeds the Word of truth, confirms it in the Bible, and believes in the gospel of the water and the spirit can protect himself from the false gospel of the devil and be saved from all his sins. He can receive God`s blessings and enter the kingdom of heaven. Amen."Comprised of eight sermons, this book is full to the brim with a wealth of Biblical knowledge which can only be inspired by the Holy Spirit. I learned for the first time what "heresy" means, who a heretic is. In short, a heretic is someone who believes in Jesus but still has sin. However, Paul C. Jong drills right down to the origin of heresy citing from the account of Jeroboam in the book of Kings, 1st Kings chapter 12. I found it very interesting and insightful. The only way to avoid being a heretic before God is by being born again of water and the spirit. Receive the remission of all our sins.One of the characteristics of heretical preachers is their sole concern of how to extract money from the congregation. They are incapable of solving the problem of their congregation sins nor even their own sins because they do not know or preach the gospel of the water and the spirit. I enjoyed very much how Paul C. Jong showed how people also received the remission of sins and were born again through the gospel of the water and the spirit in the Old Testament and how people are born again to receive the remission of sins in the New Testament.He leaves no stone unturned going through the Book of Leviticus and its pair in Matthew chapter 3:15. Both involve the laying on of hands to transfer sins from the sinner onto an animal in the sacrificial system and the laying on of John the Baptist`s hands baptism to transfer all our sins onto Jesus the Lamb of God in the Jordan River. Leviticus chapter 16 verse 21 and 34 and Matthew 3:15. John the Baptist bore witness to this righteous act the day after baptizing Jesus saying, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." John 1:29. He categorically states in the book that if you do not accept Jesus` baptism and the Cross by faith in your personal heart, you cannot wash away sins through any actions or any religion. Amen.Going right the way back to Abraham, circumcision, and the Passover, Paul C. Jong explains in detail why it is wrong faith to believe only in the blood of Jesus. He shows the correlation between physical circumcision and spiritual circumcision. The cutting off the skin of the foreskin and the cutting off of sins in one`s heart by believing in the water and the blood of Jesus. The author asks, "Have you relied only on the blood of Jesus until today? If so, you certainly have sin in your heart. When you commit sins, there is sin. And if you think your conscience becomes a bit cleaner when you do not commit sins, that is merely a feeling and not based on the Word of God, but on fleshly emotions. Therefore, you must now turn back and believe in the baptism and the blood of Jesus. Then a spiritual circumcision of salvation will occur in your heart and you will be freed from all sins."Being freed from all sins means believing in the primitive gospel; that Jesus has completely removed all sins through His baptism and blood and thus being saved. Everyone, the wages of sin is death. You and I had sin. Because of that sin, we were destined to go to hell. But instead of us dying, instead of us going to hell, Jesus took on our sins through baptism in the Jordan River and suffered the punishment of the Cross in our place.From page 185, I enjoyed so much reading about Paul C. Jong`s personal journey of when he too had believed in Jesus incorrectly, believing only in the blood alone without the water. It really helps the reader to identify and recognize their own wrong faith. In Sermon Four, Paul C. Jong speaks in detail again of the wrong interpretation that the majority of Christians have of confession written about by the Apostle John in 1st John chapter 1:9. I never tire of reading about this huge error of religious people`s spiritual of understanding of God`s spiritual Word.Paul C Jong contrasts the wrong interpretation of 1st John chapter 1 verse 9 with the correct interpretation. He says, "If someone who teaches the Bible teaches incorrectly and if a believer believes incorrectly, this will result in judgment before God and entering hell. The Bible states that only those who are born again can properly teach learners. Just as even the best medicine can become poison and kill if prescribed incorrectly, so it is with teaching God`s Word." Sermon Five debunks the nonsensical man-made doctrines of predestination, election theories, and the doctrine of sanctification. After reading this, your confusion will be all cleared up.He stresses the truth again saying the eternal removal of humanity’s sins by Jesus is recorded in the New Testament. When Jesus was baptized, the phrase "for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness", Matthew 3:15, means the most appropriate or most fitting. Jesus was baptized in the most fitting way. Just as in the Old Testament, a goat or lamb would receive the sins of the sinner by laying hands on it. Jesus received baptism from John to take on all the sins of all sinners once and for all, making them sinless. "For thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Matthew 3:15. Jesus received baptism in this way to take on all the sins of the world`s sinners, saving them from all worldly sins once and for all.How very clear and straightforward, explaining the difference and end result of salvation through adhering to the law in the past. Non-adherence meant no salvation. But true faith is not like this. Jesus told us that He saved us from all the sins of the world through the water and the blood of His baptism and the Spirit which are the water and blood of salvation and the law of love. Jesus accomplished the salvation of humanity from sin through His baptism in the Jordan River, His blood on the Cross, His death, and His resurrection. He speaks about all this through the Book of Hebrews. It`s fascinating.Coming to the end of this book, I like how he sums up the main message. "Why do the reborn not fear the end of the world? Because they have received eternal new life through faith in the Lord`s baptism, the blood of the Cross, and the resurrection." I concur because I know what my own fear was like before reading these special books and how all my fear has now disappeared along with all my sins simply by believing in the water and the blood of Jesus.The Holy Spirit bears witness to this truth. 1st John 5:8. Believing the truth explained again in this book too. This scripture will surely be fulfilled in your own heart as it has in mine. 1 John 4:18 says, "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear because fear involves torment, but he who fears has not been made perfect in love." This book covers many, many more important topics than I have only touched upon. I pray that you return to the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit and download this special book. God bless you.Sarah Nartey, UK

    THE EFFECT THAT JESUS HAS LAID ON SINNERS, THROUGH HIS MINISTRY OF BAPTISM, DEATH AND RESURRECTION

    THE EFFECT THAT JESUS HAS LAID ON SINNERS THROUGH HIS MINISTRY OF BAPTISM, DEATH AND RESURRECTIONHello Everyone, I hope for the Peace and Grace of my LORD Jesus Christ will also be upon you just as it has been given to us all the believers of the baptism, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Amen! Dear readers, am hereby, sharing this blessed book review titled THE EFFECT THAT JESUS HAS LAID ON SINNERS, THROUGH HIS MINISTRY OF BAPTISM, DEATH AND RESURRECTION Hallelujah!!! I have written this review after having read our newly released Ebook "ALREADY COMPLETED SALVATION" by Rev. Paul C. Jong.I sincerely offer my deepest gratitude to God, that through reading this precious book written by His Servant Rev. Jong and His Church The New Life Mission, my faith today is affirmed evermore. I am completely certain that heaven is for anyone who accept the true word of God as it is and comes to God through the faith comprising the ministry of only begotten Son Jesus Christ—even His baptism from John the Baptist where He took upon Himself all the sins of mankind from the first man Adam until to the last person to be born on this earth, His death on the Cross where He paid for all the penalty of all our sins He received on His baptism, and thus resurrected from the dead to completely justify us all mankind as sinless beings once for all.Because sin is a problem that fundamentally separates human beings from God, it is essential to learn and understand that it can never be resolved by us humans on our own. The Lord has perfectly completed salvation for us all mankind, so that we do not need to make even a single effort to believe, to offer good deeds of fasting, or tirelessly repeat repentance prayers. For Jesus has already completed all the work. Unless one accepts this truth, he definitely thinks that Jesus’s work is not sufficient; hence, begins to toil for himself or herself to be washed from sin.The problem is that when one fails to accept the truth as it is—that Jesus Christ has already completed the work of salvation by the baptism He received from John, His death on the Cross, and His resurrection—it is impossible that one would not try to add his own toil. It is like failing to accept one`s own gender. A male trying to become a female or vice versa results in additional toils due to failure to accept the fact of how they are born. Before God, nothing is changed; you remain as you were created. This is what the true Gospel of the water and the Spirit holds: the fact that Jesus already completed salvation remains unchanged whether one accepts it or not.What happens when one fails to accept it correctly? He tries to toil, thinking, "I know Jesus is my Savior, but I also have some part that I need to do." They offer prayers of repentance or fast for days to remain holy. Such life is what many people dwell upon, thinking salvation is divided into halves—one for the Lord and one for themselves. But this is foolish. The washing away of sins depends only on the work Jesus performed. As Hebrews 10:5-8 says, God did not want sacrifices and offerings, but prepared a body (Jesus) to do His will.Jesus Christ is the reality of everything written in the Law. Just as the high priest Aaron laid hands on a sacrificial animal to transfer the sins of Israel (Leviticus 16:21), God sent John the Baptist, a descendant of Aaron, as our representative. When John baptized Jesus, all the sins of humanity were passed onto Jesus’s righteous body (Matthew 3:15). Because He took all our sins, it was possible for Him to face death on the Cross and cry, "It is finished." Through His baptism and death, He completed forgiveness, and through His resurrection, He proved He is God.Today, Rev. Paul C. Jong is reminding us of how perfect this Gospel of the water, blood, and Spirit is. Through the Law, we confirm our sinful nature (Romans 3:20), but the more our unrighteousness is exposed, the more we learn about the only Savior. By accepting this truth, one attains the righteousness of God, and the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in the heart freely. As Apostle Paul said in Romans, even if some do not believe, it does not make the faithfulness of God without effect.Therefore, man must forget the notion of reaching God through their own toil of "I believe" combined with repeated repentance for future sins. What is completed cannot be redone or updated. The ministry of the baptism, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ has brought a reality where everyone who accepts it remains sinless and becomes a righteous child of God. Glory be to God.

    ALREADY COMPLETED SALVATION

    Simplify this message for me. REVIEW ON EBOOK05 ALREADY COMPLETED SALVATION (ROMANS PART ONE)Hello everyone, I would like to share my review on our recently released Ebook05 by Rev Paul C Jong, titled "ALREADY COMPLETED SALVATION." Hallelujah! May the peace and the Grace of our LORD Jesus Christ from His Church even The New Life Mission be with you all, Amen. Note that, it is important to truly understand our true selves as mankind through the mirror known as the Law of God (Romans 3:20). This will continue to help us to stand firm in our obtained faith from the only perfect erasure from sin we have received once and for all even Jesus Christ. Amen!Having learned chapter one of this blessed book, I am so encouraged ever more in my life of faith, having the understanding that Jesus Christ is the only fulfilment of the righteousness of God. In short, without Jesus, there is no entry into the Kingdom of God for all humanity. That is why only faith that believes that Jesus is the only true Savior who has saved all mankind from our every sin of past, present, and future. He did this by having Himself baptized by John the Baptist in the Jordan River and receiving the transferring of all our sins, then dying on the Cross where He paid for all the wages of sins and thereby, rose again from death to justify us wholly. He has thus given us a newness of life in spirit to all of us who believe in this truth. Hallelujah! (Romans 1:16-17). But yet the wrath of God shall be to everyone who disobeys and replaces the Good News with the worship of images. Such people will definitely receive what they desire, for in the end, the LORD will reward each one of us according to how we have lived. Amen!Additionally, in Chapter 2 of Sermon two of this book, I have concretely learned that no humanity will ever be put right with God by the deeds of law. What this means is that everyone born on this earth must correctly understand the purpose of God’s law. For many souls have lost the correct gist of God’s law. How unfair would it be if God, who is Holy and Just, could freely render His perfect law to us mankind who are born as filthy, sinful, and unholy to live by it. But yet all thanks be to God, for all His wisdom and Love and tender mercy. Having known how full of flaws we are (Psalms 103:14), the LORD gave the Law through Moses so that through the purpose of His Law, whether Jew or Gentile, both could be led back to God correctly. God gave us His perfect Law so that each one of us could know our true selves wholly (Romans 3:20), and avoid trying to reach out to God through our own efforts, deeds, and strength.So many are trying to reach out to God with their deeds; they consistently offer prayers of repentance wherever they sinned, fasting tirelessly, or speaking in strange tongues. But all these are being done due to lack of understanding on the purpose of God’s law and the true faith that has fulfilled the righteousness of God. Such legalistic lives of faith will only lead them to destruction. I am confident confirming that none of us is any better than another, for we have all lived such a legalistic faith before. We lived such a life too before we had met and believed in the true Gospel of the water and the Spirit. Humanity must have a clear understanding that it is not by one`s own deeds or efforts that saves from sin. The washing from all our sins has already been accomplished by the true erasure Himself, Jesus Christ, through His baptism, death on the Cross, and resurrection. Once we believe in this truth, there is no work needed to erase our sins anymore. That is why Jesus said, "It is finished."All we need to do is to just believe in this truth wholeheartedly and continue to establish the Law of God as we live our lives of faith. How can we continue to establish the law of God? Whenever we find ourselves in any lacking—through our thoughts, speech, or deeds—we must be reminded: "This is how weak I am, and because of this, the true erasure Jesus Christ took upon Himself all my sins through His baptism from John, paid for all the wage with His precious blood, and rose again to give me the newness of life." I am no longer a sinner but a righteous child of God. This is why the Apostle Paul emphasized that a Jew is not one outwardly but one inwardly (Romans 2:28-29). God has circumcised our hearts. We do not need to boast in our flesh but rather stand firm in faith in the righteous acts of Jesus.Humanity must come to truly believe in the precious Gospel truth of the Water and the Spirit and attain true purification from sin without their own effort. In this already completed salvation, there is no condemnation based on the outward man, but the perfect judgment will surely fall on anyone according to whether he has believed in the Gospel of the water of Jesus’s baptism, blood His death of the Cross and Spirit His resurrection (John 6:29, 1 John 5:6). May God bless our The New Life Mission Church and all His Faithful Servants. Amen!— Coworker Nazir, Zambia.

    Return From the Nicene Creed to THE GOSPEL OF THE WATER AND THE SPIRIT

    Hi, everyone. I can hardly express how informative, how important and how precious this latest book by Paul C Jong is for me and, I believe, for the entire population of the world! Reading Book 69, "Return From the Nicene Creed to THE GOSPEL OF THE WATER AND THE SPIRIT", has affected me profoundly and deeply. Living in this age of AI, it has become more difficult to discern what`s true and what`s not, what`s real and what`s fake. Many people now "want receipts" to demand to know the authenticity of what they`re seeing and reading online. So, I believe this latest book by Paul C Jong will be treasured by salvation truth seekers who demand the veracity of God’s Word over deception using God’s Word. I found learning all about the Nicene Creed, who made it, when it was established and the reasons for it, fascinating even though normally I tend to dislike historical dates and events. Here`s my very brief layman`s understanding of the Nicene Creed. It was a set of beliefs established by Emperor Constantine of Rome (and other religious leaders) in A.D. 325. It was made because they wanted to address theological disputes—particularly the Arian controversy concerning the nature and divinity of Jesus Christ—and to promote unity within the Roman Empire. The Creed affirms Jesus` incarnation, crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, and future return. However, the baptism of Jesus which was how and when all the sins of the world were transferred onto Him, was left out of the Creed. In other words, the gospel of the water and the Spirit believed and taught by all the Apostles and the Early Church, was not included in this doctrinal summary. The baptism of Jesus was omitted. The complete link of the Gospel of the Water and the Spirit—“Baptism–Cross–Resurrection”—was broken and replaced with institutionalized Catholic doctrines of only the cross and the resurrection. Without the starting point of salvation, Jesus` baptism, the actual event of how Jesus specifically received the sins of humanity, it prevented Christians from having faith in it which in turn, kept them in the state of sinners unable to be washed of their sins! That is why, in this amazing book, through various contrasts of belief, laying bare man-made flawed teachings and outright deceptions, Paul C. Jong shows through the Scriptures that when we believe in Jesus—who was baptized by John, received the sins of the world transferred onto Himself, died on the Cross, and rose again from the dead—as our Savior, apart from church traditions or religious forms, we will receive salvation. I enjoyed the different style of writing in Sermon 2, where Paul C. Jong is referred to in the third person, contrasting three differing beliefs about how one receives the indwelling of the Holy Spirit: Watchman Nee`s, Paul C. Jong’s, and the Catholic Church`s. Just as the author has always stated in all his books, he emphasizes that receiving the Holy Spirit is not earned through human effort, asceticism, emotional experience, or merits such as fasting or repentance prayers (which is what the aforementioned parties believe), but rather, since Jesus already took the sins of the world upon His body through baptism by John the Baptist and completed our salvation by dying on the Cross and resurrecting, he states that the Holy Spirit is bestowed as a gift when a person accepts and believes this (the gospel of the water and the Spirit) in their heart. And I found myself nodding and smiling gently when he added, "At that moment, the true peace given by God comes upon the heart." I could also testify to his saying, "Even after receiving the remission of sins, when one stands upon the faith in the gospel Word of the water and the Spirit and lives in the guidance and communion of the Holy Spirit, that peace continues to be sustained." Amen! This peace from God has permeated every nook and cranny of my life since I received the remission of sins no matter difficulties of life occur . I remember how I felt when I was only halfway through the preface of this book; I had to stop for a minute and give thanks to God, for I just knew that this book was something very special. I was awestruck. Now, again, as I was reading Sermon 3, it was paragraph after paragraph about the universe, scientific facts and figures, and theories held by names such as Galileo and Newton — the only two names I had heard of. I thought it was a clever and impactful way of hitting the nail on the head in showing us that just as people were wrong all those years ago in their theories about the universe, so now also people must accept that they have been wrong in their belief in only the blood of Jesus without the water of His baptism, too. Further on in the book, referring to the well-known "wide gate and narrow gate," the author neatly sums them up by saying, "The wide gate is the way centered on man, while the narrow gate is the way centered on God. The wide gate depends on works and effort, but the narrow gate is based on faith and grace." He states plainly and unequivocally that "the source of salvation lies not in human works, but in the righteousness of God completed in the baptism and the Cross of Jesus Christ." The protagonists in all 69 books by Paul C. Jong are Jesus Christ and John the Baptist. Those who have truly been born again of water and the Spirit by reading his books understand and appreciate that the repetitiveness of his writing about them is very necessary and appreciated. But Sermon 7, in debunking the commonly believed "John the Baptist was a failure" statement, provided, in my opinion, an "extra layer" about John and his special God-given role of transferring the sins of mankind onto Jesus by baptizing Him. I think it was written beautifully — poetic even. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I very much liked this true statement: "The moment you mistakenly regard John the Baptist as a failure, you become someone who loses the ladder that allows one to cross over to the Gospel of salvation that saves us from the curse of the Law." Reading this book has taken me on a journey that I intend to take again and again. In parts, I travelled back in history, uncovering dark secrets that have been hidden in plain sight. I was introduced to pioneers, scholars, and world-renowned scientists. I was reintroduced to my predecessors and elders who had courageously passed down the beautiful faith of the gospel of the water and the Spirit, preserved intact by God despite the Nicene Creed, and having thereby disappeared into the back alleys of religion for a time. This book truly has something for everyone. The penmanship of this Book 69 is second to none. In parts, it has rebuked me for my spiritual complacency. Like a defibrillator, it has shocked me out of my spiritual lethargy. But more than anything, it has humbled me and made me even more thankful for the gospel of the water and the Spirit given to us by God. I find that the book is written respectfully and fairly. It manages to lay everything out clearly and simply for the reader to understand despite the sheer amount of intricate knowledge contained within its pages. In closing, I`d like to copy and paste a few of the author`s quotes from the final Sermon 15, that I found immensely powerful and memorable: "The Bible does not raise its voice, but it speaks clearly. Jesus Christ came by water and blood and the Spirit." "Therefore, the Lord asks, “Who gave you the right to cut off God’s testimony?” The gospel that God testified of is one, and God testified of His Son with the water, the blood, and the Spirit, and He did not separate their testimonies. But people have created a blood without water, a salvation without the Spirit, and a doctrine without the event." Referring to the perfectly titled, "Return From the Nicene Creed to THE GOSPEL OF THE WATER AND THE SPIRIT, he writes: "God speaks clearly. He warns that if you do not return today, tomorrow will become heavier, and if you hear and let it pass by today, you may not hear this voice next time. God is long-suffering, but He does not wait endlessly. The door is open, but it is not open forever. Therefore, He says to return now. When your heart is still pricked, when this word is still uncomfortable, when you cannot yet bring yourself to hate the truth—that is the very time to return." In reference to Jesus` baptism in Matthew 3:15-17 that was omitted from the Nicene Creed, he says: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” That joy was not something that arose after the cross, but a joy that began from the very moment the sin was transferred."" "He tells you to return to the Jordan River. He invites you to return to that place where sin was finished, to that place where judgment is already over. There, a person will finally come to know salvation. Even now, God is speaking. He is calling you to return. And He waits, hoping that this call will not be the last one for a person." Amen I cannot recommend this book highly enough! God`s peace and love to you. God bless Paul C. Jong. Sarah Nartey, UK
