The pardon of sins comes ONLY through the death of Christ and through his blood. Through His BLOOD!
This pardon may be received through Him, and Him alone.
Christ was and is GOD ALMIGHTY in the flesh. What mortal sinful man would God entrust to apply something as Holy as the blood of Christ to sinners for the remission of sins?
You and I, and the whole human race come into this world as depraved, condemned, lost sinners. How then does one reach the level of holiness to determain when and where to apply the blood of Christ?
There is but one remedy for the sins of man...the BLOOD OF CHRIST, and man has not the ability to apply it.
“This pardon may be received by us through His Body, the Church. “
It may be received through a simple prayer asking for it.
“Looking to the Bible, there are two means to receive this pardon: Baptism and Confession. “
Confession thru a intermediary is not required. Baptism is a profession of faith.
