This document discusses the plan of salvation through God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. It explains that God has always been loving and merciful, and that salvation is a free gift available to all through accepting Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection. The everlasting gospel of salvation will be proclaimed to all people before Jesus returns, in order to call all to accept this gift of eternal life.

1. Lesson 4

3.  God, the author of salvation.
The love of the Father.
The love of Christ.
The love of the Holy Spirit.
 Assurance of salvation.
 Proclaiming the message of salvation.
“Then I saw another angel flying in the midst
of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to
preach to those who dwell on the earth—to
every nation, tribe, tongue, and people.”
(Revelation 14:6)
That angel is a symbol of the people that will
proclaim the last message to this world: the
everlasting Gospel. What is that message about?
It’s the message of salvation that was planned
for us before the foundation of the Earth.

4. “For I am the Lord, I do not change; therefore you
are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.” (Malachi 3:6)
Some people say that the God of the Old
Testament is a God of justice in comparison to
the God of the New Testament, who is full of
mercy and grace and forgiveness.
However, Jesus made it clear: The Father and
Him have the same feelings and act the same
way. “He who has seen Me has seen the
Father.” (John 14:9)
Let’s know God the Father:
He’s
gracious,
compassion
ate and slow
to anger
(Exodus
34:6)
He delights
in His
followers
(Psalm
147:11)
He plans to
prosper
people
(Jeremiah
29:11)
His love is
eternal
(Jeremiah
31:3)
He rejoices
over His
people with
singing
(Zephaniah
3:17)

5. “Let this mind be in you which was
also in Christ Jesus, who, being in
the form of God, did not consider
it robbery to be equal with God,
but made Himself of no
reputation, taking the form of a
bondservant, and coming in the
likeness of men. And being found
in appearance as a man, He
humbled Himself and became
obedient to the point of death,
even the death of the cross.”
(Philippians 2:5-8)

6. God is the only One who has life in
Himself (John 5:26). Therefore, only He
could give His life for our ransom and
take it again (John 10:18). He became
our Savior (Luke 2:11)
Jesus didn’t just take a “human form”,
but He became fully human the same
way He is fully God. He did that because
He loves us.
GOD
He upholds all things
(Hebrews 1:3)
His days didn’t have a
beginning (Micah 5:2)
He created all things (John 1:3)
MAN
He was born as a defenseless
baby (Lucas 2:7)
He grew in wisdom and stature
(Luke 2:52)
He died hanging on a cross
(Acts 5:30)

7. “Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love
of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me.”
(Romans 15:30)
The individuality and
personality of the Holy Spirit are
explained in the Scriptures:
He collaborated in Jesus’ incarnation
(Matthew 1:20)
He is independent from the Father
and the Son (Matthew 28:19)
He teaches (Luke 12:12)
He comforts and advises (John 14:16)
He convicts people (John 16:8)
He guides us to the truth (John 16:13)
He glorifies Christ (John 16:14)
He intercedes (Romans 8:26)
He sanctifies (1 Peter 1:2)
The Holy Spirit is God, as are the Father and the Son. Together, they are One
God. They love us equally and are working in order to save us into God’s eternal
kingdom.

8. “he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but
because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of
rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.” (Tito 3:5 NIV)
If salvation depended on our works, it
would be impossible to get it!
God asks us to live a holy life, but He is
merciful, and He didn’t make that a
requirement for salvation. Salvation is
free for everyone who wants to accept
Jesus’ sacrifice at the cross and His
resurrection.
“He shall call upon Me… And [I will] show him My salvation.” (Psalm 91:15-16)
“whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Joel 2:32)
“I give them eternal life… neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” (John 10:28)
“if you confess… the Lord Jesus and believe…, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
“I have written to you… that you may know that you have eternal life.” (1 John 5:13)
“Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.” (Revelation 22:17)

9. “Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having
the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—
to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people.” (Revelation 14:6)
The plan of salvation is the “everlasting
Gospel.” God made this plan “before time
began.” (2 Timothy 1:9)
God wants us to live forever with Him
(Revelation 22:3-5). He has made
everything possible (John 3:16)
If we accept His plan, our salvation is
assured.
Once we know the love of God and His plan
of salvation, how could we keep that
wonderful message to ourselves?
Time is brief. The history of mankind is
coming to an end.
Let’s proclaim the everlasting gospel today.

10. “In the courts above, Christ is pleading for His
church—pleading for those for whom He has
paid the redemption price of His blood.
Centuries, ages, can never lessen the efficacy of
His atoning sacrifice. Neither life nor death,
height nor depth, can separate us from the love
of God which is in Christ Jesus; not because we
hold Him so firmly, but because He holds us so
fast. If our salvation depended on our own
efforts, we could not be saved; but it depends
on the One who is behind all the promises.”
E.G.W. (That I May Know Him, March 15)
