Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

We are writing to all our beloved Hosanna Church servants of God, families and members regarding the teachings of the true church of Christ.

Ephesians 4: 17 – 24 says - This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,

having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;

who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:

that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man (Adam) which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 

and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man (Christ) which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

We have to put off our former conduct (customs and traditions, worldly traditions, our mind, flesh and fleshly desires).

Our new conduct – New man – put on Christ.

How do we put on Christ? Put away all our old life completely and we have to put on Christ.

Galatians 3:26,27 says - For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

Who in Christ should receive Baptism?

Baptism means to die to sin and live to righteousness.

Wisdom, who is Christ Jesus, should be born in every one of our souls. And the child grew, strengthened in the Spirit, increased in wisdom and the grace and favour of God was upon Him.

That is why the angel of God entered the house that Mary was in and said to her – “Rejoice, highly favoured one, the Lord is with you; Blessed are you among women!”

Mary was a virgin. Virgin signifies Israel. Israel signifies the church. Church signifies Women. That is why he told Mary – Blessed are you among women.”

In the Holy Bible it is written regarding many different women. But in Proverbs 31: 10 it is written – Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. That is Jesus Christ. (The Holy Spirit – The Bride)

Proverbs 3: 13 – 15 says - Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding;

For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold.

She is more precious than rubies, And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.

Therefore, according to Romans 6:19 - I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now (when you are baptized) present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.

Romans 6: 23 says - For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Baptism means to die to sin, to be buried after that, then to rise up again with the life of Christ. This meaning should be understood properly by all.
