INTRODUCTION. God planned the kingdom or church before the creation of the world
(Eph. 3:10-11). In order to be a citizen of the kingdom or church of Jesus Christ, there are
certain steps one must take. God's part in the salvation of man began with love: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16). God sent his Son into the world to be the perfect sacrifice for sin. Jesus offered his body upon the cross as that sacrifice, and the blood he shed cleanses us from all sin (Heb. 10: 1 0; I John 1 :7). The Holy Spirit revealed to us through the word- the Bible-the things God prepared for those who love him (I Cor. 2:9-10). Thus man's salvation was planned by God, fulfilled or accomplished by Jesus, and revealed by the Holy Spirit. But man has a part in his salvation, too. In order to receive eternal salvation, one must obey the gospel of Jesus Christ (Heb. 5:8-9).
