The Plan of Salvation
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 (NKJV)
GOD'S PURPOSE
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
God created man to have a personal relationship with Him. He wants this relationship to be one of love. One where God shows His love to people and where people show their love to Him. From the very beginning, God wanted this love relationship as he has made us in His own image, unlike any other creation.
This is the first spiritual law. God's love for man is so great, it is unconditional. Love is not only His nature, it is Who He is (1 John 4:8, 16). He wants you to know He loves you and invites you into a holy and divine relationship.
You may ask, why am I not experiencing this loving relationship? Why does it feels like God is distant from me? The answer is simple . . . SIN. It is because of sin. Sin is disobeying God. When someone is offended, it causes problems in the relationship. Sin causes a separation between God and man.
