How do we respond to Gods Salvationplan for mankind?


One of the most important aspects of life is to realise that God came up with His own masterplan of salvation for all humanity. This salvationplan is for us who:

  • Don’t want to believe in it
  • Don’t want to have anything to do with it
  • Don’t want to accept it
  • Don’t want to listen to Gods conditions

No other salvationplan exists and there shall never exist any other plan than just Gods salvationplan for all humanity. Whether we accept it or not, one thing is for sure, we are not able to make any plans after the grave.

We are the ones who don’t want to accept this salvationplan and its conditions, who don’t want to believe in it, who question and critise it. We respond to this salvationplan with empty ideology and we are trying to reason our way out of it. What else are we not trying to use to proove that God is wrong in all of this?

No matter how we think about it, what our convictions are, how we have been raised, tought and formed...all the questions we ask lead to life’s one main question: what is the purpose of life?

The purpose of life is in the choice between eternal life or eternal death...a choice we can or even should make ourself.

God loves each one of us so much and He wants all of us to be part of His salvationplan, that He – the Almighty One – gave us mortal beings the greatest gift of grace of all time...Jesus Christ. The acceptance of this wonderfull gift of grace automatically goes with some conditions to be held.

God is able to wipe us all away in the blink of an eye...and He has already done it before! (i.e. the Big Flood) and now, today, we are replying again: “No thanks, this is nothing for us and it has no meaning. We don’t agree with the conditions.” At the same time we blame God: “If we choose not to accept this gift of grace and its conditions then God doesn’t love us anymore for standing on our right of free choice. Free choice doesn’t exist afterall?!

If we look at Gods salvationplan for humanity, it looks like there is not really something like free choice...or does it? The choice we have is to choose between eternal life (heaven) and eternal death (hell) and who chooses eternal death?

Deut. 30:15 “See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil”

Deut. 30:19 “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.”

Jer. 21:8 “And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord; behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.”
