God's Plan of Salvation

In the Garden of Eden, God commanded Adam not to partake of forbidden fruit, because “in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die” (Genesis 2:17). It was “the serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan” (Revelation 12:9) who contradicted God when he said, “You will not surely die” (Genesis 3:4). On the Pentecost after Jesus’ resurrection, God’s Apostles commanded: "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38). Those who believed that command was “God’s plan of Salvation” were the Holy Spirit, the Apostles, and those who obeyed it. Only the Devil would say: “Believing that Acts 2:38 is God’s Plan of Salvation will take you straight to Hell!” - November 15, 2021
