God’s Master Plan of Salvation: God’s Work in Christ Takes Us From Judgment and Separation to Forgiveness and Reconciliation
Free Will & The Original Sin: Till Death Do Us Part…from God
Gen 2:9 Out of the ground the LORD God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Gen 2:17 [God Warned] “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat from it: for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.”
Gen 3:4“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it [the tree of knowledge] your eyes will be opened, and YOU will be like God, knowing good and knowing evil.”
Gen 3:6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was WITH her, and he ate it.
Gen 3:7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked [helpless]; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Have you ever committed murder?

Deut 5:7 You shall have NO other gods before me.

Rom 1:22 Professing
themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things.
Josh 24:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the CREATURE more than the CREATOR, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Wikipedia: Muhammad would retreat to a cave named Hira in the mountains for several nights of seclusion and prayer; later, at age 40, he reported being visited by Gabriel (an angel) in the cave,where he stated he received his first revelation from God. [610 C.E.]
Babylonian Symbols
Deut 17:3 [For you have] gone and served other gods, and worshiped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded!

God’s Way of Forgiving Sins
Rom 3:2222 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his [Jehovah’s] grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:25 Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation[sacrifice] through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believes in Jesus.27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Is 43:25 God says, “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins.”
Josh 24: 20 If you forsake the Lord and serve foreign gods, then he will turn and do you harm and consume you, after having done you good.” 23 He said, “Then put away the foreign gods that are among you, and incline your heart to the Lord, the God of Israel.“

Children of Disobedience
Eph 2:3 We all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
Eph 5:6 Let no man deceive you with 
vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
1 Cor 6:9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, abusers of themselves with mankind 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.(NLT)
Rev 21:8 The fearful, and unbelievers, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, will have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Mt 12:36 Every idle word that men will speak, they will give account thereof in the Day of Judgment.
Mt 12:37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.

Rom 2:33 And do you think, O man, that judges them which do such things, and do the same things, that you will escape the judgment of God?
Col 3:5 Mortify [put to death] therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake, the wrath of God comes, on the children of disobedience:
2Pet 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that ALL should come to REPENTANCE.
Verdict: Guilty as Sin
Rom 3:19 The law applies to those to whom it was given, for its purpose is to keep people from having excuses, and to show that the entire world is guilty before God.
James 2:10 For whosoever will keep the WHOLE law, and yet offend in ONE point, he is GUILTY of ALL.
Rom 3:20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
Rom 2:15 the conscience also bears witness, and their thoughts either accuses or else excuses one another; 16 In that day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
Rom 2:2 we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
Rom 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
The Judgment
Rom 2:5 Because of your hard and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed.(HCB)
John 5: 28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves will hear his voice,
29 And will come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Acts 17:31 [God] has appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained; whereof he gave assurance unto all men, in that he raised him [Jesus] from the dead.
2 Peter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example to those that after should live ungodly…
Rom 2:8 To them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath.
Mk 2:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
2Thes 1:8 in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2Thes 1:9 Who will be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;10 When he will come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
Phil 2:9 Wherefore God has also highly exalted him [Jesus], and given him a name which is above every name:
Phil 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
1Pet 1:20 Who truly was foreordained BEFORE the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Heb 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Mat 3:10 Every tree which does not bring forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Heb 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Heb2:3 So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus himself and then delivered to us by those who heard him speak? 4 And God confirmed the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever he chose.(NLT)
How do I love thee? Let me SHOW the way!
1Jo 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation [appeasement/sacrifice] for our sins.
Rom 5:7 Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good. (NLT)
Isa 64:6 [but] we are all as an unclean thing and our righteousness is as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities[sins], like the wind, have taken us away.
Rom 5:8 But God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us
John 10:18 [Jesus said] No man takes [my life] from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
John 15:13 [Jesus said] Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you.
Rom 5:9 And since we have been made right in God’s sight by the blood of Christ, he will certainly save us from God’s condemnation. (NLT)
Rom 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, how much more, we will be reconciled and will be saved by his life.
Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Rom 3:22 We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Rom 3:24 God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.
Rom 3:25 For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, Rom3:26 for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for He himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.
Rom 3:27 Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith. 28 So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law.
Eph 2:8 For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God 9 NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast [brag].
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which WE have done, but according to HIS mercy HE saved us,
John 3:16 For GOD so loved the world, that HE gave HIS only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVES in HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:17 For God sent NOT his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be SAVED.
John 3:18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that does not believe is condemned already,
because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For every one that does evil hates the light neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
ONE WAY
John 10:9 [Jesus said] I am the door: by me, if any man enters in, he will be saved
Mt 7:13 Enter in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in there 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads to life, and few there be that find it.
Luke 13:23 Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” He replied,
24 “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail. 25 When the master of the house has locked the door, it will be too late. You will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’ 26 Then you will say, ‘But we ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’ 27 And he will reply, ‘I tell you, I don’t know you or where you come from. Get away from me, all you who do evil.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: NO man comes to the Father, but by me.
John 10:25 24 [Then the Jews said] If you are the Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you believed not: the works [miracles] that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 29 I and my Father are one.”
1 Tim 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Acts 4:12 There is salvation in no one else (NLT): for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Rm 1:4 And [Jesus was] declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
John 1: 12 as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the children of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Jhn 3:3 Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
1Pet 1:3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, 4 and we have a priceless inheritance
RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD
John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet will he live: 26 And whosoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this? 27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”
John 10: 28 And I give to them eternal life; and they will never perish; neither will any man pluck them out of my hand.
John 6:37 All [those] that the Father gives me will come to me; and he that comes to me I will in no wise [way] cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him that sent me.
John 6:39 And this is the Father’s will which has sent me, that of all which he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which sees the Son, and believes on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
1Pet 1:9 The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls. [NLT]
2 Cor 4:14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus will raise US up ALSO by Jesus.
Acts 10:42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick [living] and dead. 43 To him all the prophets give witness, that through his name whosoever believes in him will receive remission of sins.
John 5:21 For just as the Father gives life to those he raises from the dead, so the Son gives life to anyone he wants. [NLT]
1Cor 15:17 And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins.
John 5:22 For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment to the Son:
John 5:23 That all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which has sent him.
John 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and will not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
John 5:26 26 For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27 And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
1 Cor 12:14 if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
Rom 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 10 … for we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is written, As I live, said the Lord, every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will confess to God.
Mt 25:32 And before him will be gathered all nations: and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats: 33 And he will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Heb 2:3 How will we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will.
FAITH NOT WORKS
Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Rom 4:20 He [Abraham] staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God: 21 And being fully persuaded that, what he [God] had promised, he was able also to perform.22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me.
Rom 10:8 and that message is the very message about FAITH that we preach:
Rom 10:9 If you OPENLY DECLARE that Jesus IS Lord and BELIEVE in your heart
that God RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD…YOU WILL BE SAVED
10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” 12 Jew and Gentile are the same in this respect. They have the same Lord, who gives generously to all who call on him.
13 For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” NLT
Rom8:8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
REPENT
REPENT: Strong’s G3340: to change one’s mind for better, heartily to amend with abhorrence of one’s past sins
Mark 2:17 [Jesus said] “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who THINK they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”[NLT]
Jon 12:25 He that loves his life will lose it; and he that hates his life in this world will keep it unto life eternal
Psalm 28:13 He that covers his sins will not prosper: but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.
1Pet 1:17 And if you call on the Father, who without respect of persons judges according to every man’s work,
pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
Ps 28:14 Blessed are those who fear to do wrong, but the stubborn are headed for trouble.[NLT]
Luke 13:3 [Jesus said] “unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”
1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
2 Cor 7:10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
Acts 26:18 Open [your] eyes, and… turn …from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that [you] may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
GET BAPTIZED
Mat 3:11 [John the Baptist said] I baptize with water those who repent of their sins and turn to God
Mark 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
Mark 1:7 John announced: “Someone is coming soon who is greater than I am—so much greater that I’m not even worthy to stoop down like a slave and untie the straps of his sandals. 8 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit!”[NLT]
Mark 16:16 He that believes and is baptized will be saved; but he that believes not will be damned.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
Mat 28:19 Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Acts 8:36 they came upon some water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what’s hindering me from being baptized? 37 And Philip said, If you believe with all your heart, you may[be baptized]. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. 39… the eunuch saw [Phillip]no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
Acts 22:16 What are you waiting for? arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
TURN
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus
Rom 6:16 Don’t you know, that to whom you yield yourselves as servants to obey,
his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
2 Tim 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows those that are his. And, let everyone that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity [sinning].
[NLT] Rom 6:16 Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin, which leads to death, or you can choose to obey God, which leads to righteous living. 17 Thank God! Once you were slaves of sin, but now you wholeheartedly obey this teaching we have given you. 18 Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living.
19 Because of the weakness of your human nature, I am using the illustration of slavery to help you understand all this. Previously, you let yourselves be slaves to impurity and lawlessness, which led ever deeper into sin. Now you must give yourselves to be slaves to righteous living so that you will become holy.
20 When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the obligation to do right. 21 And what was the result? You are now ashamed of the things you used to do, things that end in eternal doom. 22 But now you are free from the power of sin and have become slaves of God. Now you do those things that lead to holiness and result in eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.[NLT]
Mat 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
1Tim 6:17 Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. 18 Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. 19 By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life. [NLT]
