Sin and Righteousness

Jesus is the Son of God. He came to this earth and atoned for [our] sins and told [us] not to commit sin again. This Jesus, who is the Righteous One, was captured, dragged to the courtyards of government officials, and bore the frame of sin (a device of punishment for a crime)—the cross.

Today, the messenger who speaks on behalf also forgave sins and strictly warned [us] not to commit sin again.

There is the law of heaven and the law of the earth. Which one is the true law? The law of the earth must be kept on earth, and the law of heaven must be kept in heaven.

The law of the earth is the Compendium of Laws, and the law of heaven is all the books of the Bible. The one who commits the sin receives the punishment for [one’s] sin (Ez 18:4, 20).

In Mt 18:21-22, [Jesus] said to forgive seventy-seven times. On earth, one receives the price of one’s sin through the law of the earth.

In the law of heaven, if one does not forgive sins, then not a single person on earth can receive salvation (Mt 6:14-15). When it comes to sin, there is original sin, hereditary sin, and self-committed sin (actual sin). The sin that people forgive other people for is the self-committed sin (actual sin).

Jesus is someone who came to save his own people from [their] sins (Mt 1:21). Jesus shed his blood on the cross on behalf of the sins of his own people; this was for the sake of atoning for the sins of those who believed in him (Heb 10:10-14). This is righteousness, moreover, believing in this is righteousness.

Because we, the 12 tribes, know well how and with what [we] have been created, before we are told to believe, we know that we are God’s kingdom and children.
