Salvation Plan

Salvation Plan: Why and How God did it

Condemnation

Romans 3:10, 23 "There is none righteous, no, not one: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."

Contamination

Romans 5:12, 18 ""As by one man [Adam] sin entred into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: As by the offence of one [Adam] judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of One [Christ]the free gift came upon all men [who believe] unto justification of life."

Connection

Romans 5:6, 8 "For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."

Contribution

Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus christ our Lord."
John 3:16a "For God so loved the world [mankind], that He gave His only begotten Son [Jesus christ],

Conversion

John 3:16b "That whosoever believeth in [accepts] Him should not perish [be separated from God forever], but have everlasting life [be with God forever].

Confession

Romans 10:9, 10, 13 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dea, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

COnsider This . . .

If a Holy God created the human race without sin, but gave it "free choice", and then man chose to sin: that would mean that Holiness and sinfulness could not co-exist: God and man can't be together.

That is a problem

However, Love caused God to make a way to replace man's sin with His Holiness - so man can be with a Holy God. The "Why" and the "How" God did it is the story of the Bible.
