SALVATION PLANS

Readers, are you aware that God the Father, or God the Son, has made available to us more than one plan of salvation? Here are the different plans: 
Plan 1. "If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perishes, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if, your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.” Matthew 5:29-30. This plan is designed for stubborn Christians, those who think that they know all when in fact they know nothing or little about God’s plan of salvation other than following Paul’s plan! And Paul’s plan, as all of us already know is to defy God’s plan, just like Adam, Eve, and Lucifer. There is no Bible for them to read. Even if there is one,  they could not fully understand what they read. And the reason why they don’t fully understand God’s words is because they can’t understand God’s words. Why? Because, the prophet Isaiah says, "Make the heart of these people dull, and their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; Lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and return and be healed." Isaiah 6:10. "He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they should see with their eyes, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn so that I should heal them." John 12:40. These Christians have been brainwashed by their false teachers or prophets so they know and can travel only through the wide gate and broad road that leads to destruction. Many go in it.  Matthew 7:13. Satan has shut their eyes, hardened their hearts, and closed their ears so they can no longer repent. The intention of their heart is bad. And God doesn’t want them, just like those people who perished in the big flood during Noah's time. God doesn’t want them, obviously.
Plan 2. Jesus said, "If you love Me, keep My commandments. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, "Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?" Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.” John 14:15,21-24.
They don’t believe in Jesus. They refused to listen to Him. They followed Paul because they did not have to do what God required them to do to prove their faith in God. Matthew 7:21-23.
And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What is written in the law? What is your reading [of it]?" So he answered and said, "`You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,' and `your neighbor as yourself.'" And He said to him, "You have answered rightly; do this and you will live." Luke 10:25-28. In Plan #2 Jesus wants us to prove that we love the LORD our God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our strength, and with all our mind, and love our neighbor as ourselves, and not with our lips only. How do we love God with all our hearts, with all our souls, with all our strength, and with all our minds? Jesus said we do this when we keep His commandments. And we keep His commandments because we love Him. Satan, on the other hand, hates God, and so he abolished everything that God says. Jesus told the lawyer that by doing what the law says he can inherit eternal life. And that’s more than enough proof that told me that eternal life must be earned. Or do we think that we are smarter than God? 
Plan 3. I believe that through repentance we can also gain eternal life. “The Lord is not slack concerning [His] promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9. Repentance is faith and work. And Jesus promised that through repentance we will inherit eternal life. Repentance is the message that Noah brought to the world. Repentance is the message that Jesus brought to the world. Repentance was the message that Moses and all of God’s prophets brought to the world. The message of repentance that they brought to the world, I believe, was the reason why many of God's prophets were killed and died as martyrs. I have been waiting, for a long time, to hear preachers bring the message about repentance from their pulpits. This is the message that the world needs to hear from preachers all over the world - REPENTANCE!
I have not heard or seen a preacher of any Christian denomination who has the guts to talk about the message of repentance in the church. Repentance is not what the church leaders have in mind. This is what they have in mind - MONEY!
