In the beginning, in a world full of darkness, God created and let light come to this world. The first work of God was to let the light shine in the darkness. This was in order to give every human being the new life in Jesus Christ.
God made the universe and everything in it for the first five days and on the sixth day said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness." God created humans so that they could eventually become the children of God by being delivered from all their sins through the gospel of the water and the Spirit. (John 3:5)
God has created us in His image to adopt us as His children, because if we were to live our lives without any meaning, we would lead worse lives than animals. (Psalm 49:20)
As God lives for eternity, we are also beings that exist for eternity. Hence, when a person dies, their spirit goes upward to God to be judged by Him (Ecclesiastes 3:21).
God has given humans the yearning for eternal life (Ecclesiastes 3:11) and that yearning desire is satisfied only in the hearts of those who have received the remission of sin.
That is why we only need to believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit while we are living in this world. God sent His Son into this world to blot out all the sins of the entire humanity once for all by having Jesus receive the baptism to carry our sins and shed His blood to atone our sins. To those who believe in this Truth, God has sealed them as His children.
