e.         A baptism that offered remission of sins (Mark 1:4; Luke 3:3; Acts 2:38)

(1)      Twelve scriptural references to remission, remit, remitted (Matthew 26:28; Mark 1:4; Luke 1:77; 3:3; 24:47; John 20:23⁽²⁾; Acts 2:38; 10:43; Romans 3:25; Hebrews 9:22; Hebrews 10:18)

(2)      Meaning of remission

a)         Literally means to send back

b)        To refrain from exacting payment

c)         To refrain from inflicting punishment

d)        To put off; to postpone

(3)      Some biblical uses of remission

a)         Benefit of the OT sacrifices (Hebrews 9:22)

b)        Covering of OT sins (Romans 3:25 with Hebrews 9:15)

c)         To be blotted out in the future (Acts 3:19; Romans 11:26-27; Jeremiah 50:20)

(4)      This led to a knowledge of salvation (Luke 1:77; see John 1:7, 29-30; Acts 13:23-25)

f.        NOTE: The baptism of repentance for the remission of sins was not an act, which brought salvation.  It was given to Israel as preparation for the coming of the King and His kingdom.  Israel had rebelled against the Lord and was not ready for the coming kingdom.  John preached a way for them to prepare for the kingdom.  They were to repent and then be baptized for the remission of sins.  In this, God would refrain from exacting payment for their sins.  This would lead them to the knowledge of salvation through faith in the Messiah when He arrived (see Mark 1:14-15). 

3.   The Coming of Christ

a.         One to come after John (Luke 3:15-18; Mark 1:1-3)

b.        He will baptize with the Holy Ghost (Luke 3:16; Acts 1:4-7)

c.         The Lamb of God who takes away sin (John 1:29-36)
