GOD MADE A PLAN TO PURSUE "YOU"

THE PLAN OF SALVATION

“… The [PLAN of SALVATION]... is in Jesus Christ our Lord…” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). Thus, “...[God, the Holy Spirit]... loved us and sent His Son...” (1 John 4:10 KJV).  Jesus Christ, God’s PLAN of SALVATION, is “good news,” with DRAWING power. By listening to the “good news” and learning from it; it HAS the POWER to draw you to God. "It is written in the prophets, 'AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.' Every one that hath heard and hath learned of the Father, cometh to me (John 6:45 KJV). “ ...if I (Jesus, the PLAN of SALVATION) be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men (women) unto me” (John 12:32 KJV). Jesus had another name. “… His name is called The Word of God…” (Revelation 19:12-13 NASB). “ ... if I (Jesus, the PLAN of SALVATION and the WORD) be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men (women) unto me” (John 12:32 KJV). “… [The] Good News about Christ (the PLAN of SALVATION and the WORD of GOD)… is the power of God at work (miraculously), saving (redeeming) everyone who believes…” (Romans 1:16 NLT). “…BY THE WORD of the Lord [you are DRAWN to God, the Holy Spirit]…” (Psalms 33:6 NASB). “ ...if I (Jesus, the PLAN of SALVATION and the WORD) be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men (women) unto me” (John 12:32 KJV). God, the Holy Spirit, sent his only Son (his PLAN of SALVATION) as a WAY to pursue mankind, choose them, and DRAW them BACK to “HIS” LOVE (himself). “…God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him, SHOULD NOT PERISH, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16 KJV). Jesus Christ also took your sinful crimes upon himself and satisfied God’s righteous requirements, for breaking his HOLY laws, by willingly dying on the cross and becoming YOUR atoning sacrifice. “... Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (substitute, atonement) for ...[mankind’s ]...sins.” (1 John 4:10 KJV). “…Christ ...suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us [back] to God …” (1 Peter 3:18 KJV). “...the just for the unjust, that he might bring us [back] to [HIMSELF]…” (1 Peter 3:18 KJV). ...the just for the unjust, that he might bring us [back] to [LOVE]…” (1 Peter 3:18 KJV). “…God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “… I will bring them home again,” says the Lord….” (HOSEA 11 NLT). “… Indeed, He loves the people…” (Deuteronomy 33:3 NASB).  GOD SENT, HIS SON, his PLAN of SALVATION that he might bring mankind BACK to LOVE and BACK into a COVENANT relationship with HIM; God, the Holy Spirit. “…God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV).“… I will bring them home again,” says the Lord….” (HOSEA 11 NLT). “…He loves the people (mankind)…” (Deuteronomy 33:3 NASB). HIS HOLY SON, his PLAN of SALVATION, and the human vessel, in which, God uses to PURSUE mankind is LIKE AN EMULSIFIER. “… [He sent the ] …one … who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus …” (1 Timothy 2:5 NLT). “….Apart from [Jesus, the GIFT and PLAN of SALVATION]…YOU CAN DO NOTHING…” (John 15:5 NIV). Through Jesus, God “powerfully” enables the covenant reunion between man’s immaterial soul and HIS invisible Holy Spirit again. “…He that is joined (REUNITED) unto the Lord (Jesus) is ONE spirit… [AGAIN with God]” (1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV).  If an emulsifier is added to oil and water it will miraculously enable them to UNITE together. “…He that is joined (UNITED together) unto the Lord (Jesus) is ONE spirit… [with God again]” (1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV). “…. Old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV).  Jesus miraculously enables the HOLY God and SINFUL mankind to REUNITE together as ONE UNIT again. “…There ... [is] … …one … who can [reunite]... God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 2:5 NLT). GOD’S plan of salvation was HIS PLAN TO PURSUE MANKIND, deliver them, cleanse them from sin, choose them, and draw them BACK to LOVE and BACK into a covenant relationship with him again. “…God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). “…God saved [mankind] ...He did this, not because [they]... DESERVED it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show ... his GRACE (UNMERITED FAVOR toward mankind) through Christ Jesus…” (2 Timothy 1:9 NLT).  “…[Jesus was SENT because of]... God’s kindness  (UNMERITED FAVOR)…[and] not by mankind’s] good works... [it].. is—free and undeserved…” (Romans 11:5 NLT). Once God PURSUES you, chooses you, and DRAWS you through the “good news” of the gospel, all you have to do is CHOOSE to “…believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shall be saved” (Acts 16:31KJV). “...every one that believeth (are made RIGHT with God)...” (Romans 10:4 KJV).  “… AS MANY as received him, to them GAVE HE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD, even to them that believe on his name…” (John 1:12 KJV). “…WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved...” (Romans 10:13 KJV). YOU have already been CHOSEN and invited to the KINGDOM of GOD, but it requires a voluntarily and willful response. When God, the Holy Spirit, PURSUES you, he also goes OUT of his way to DRAW you to love (himself) and into a covenant relationship with HIM. “…God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV). When YOU HEAR his voice, you choose, through human will, to respond to the CALL upon your life. You choose, through human will, to accept or receive Jesus Christ. It is a DECISION of the HUMAN WILL what you personally decide to CHOOSE. “…Choose you this day whom ye will serve (follow, respond to, etc)….” (Joshua 24:15 KJV). “... choose LIFE…” (Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV). “… His name (Jesus, the LIFE, the PLAN of SALVATION, etc.) is called The Word of God…” (Revelation 19:12-13 NASB). “... choose LIFE…” (Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV).  “... Jesus saith…I am  (the WORD is) ...the life…” (John 14:6 KJV). “...many are called, but few are chosen...” (Matthew 22:14 KJV). “… SALVATION is found in no one else…” (Acts 4:12 NIV). .“…To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts…” (Hebrews 3:15 KJV). “... choose LIFE…” (Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV). “... Jesus saith…I am  ...the life…” (John 14:6 KJV).
