This month we would like to begin to outline the plan of salvation that can be found in the scriptures.  There are some men who say that there is no one saving plan that can be found in the bible. There are others who say that there is no clear pattern of obediance that can be found in it's pages.  However, the one God is the author of the one faith found in the bible.  And He has much to say about His plan for us all.

The Invitation
God would that all men everywhere be saved (1 Timothy 2:4).  The entire bible is about God's patience, love, and grace in saving us from our sins.  From Adam to Revelation, there is one calling to us all; obey the gospel and receive everlasting life.
Hearing To Believe
The first call of obediance to the gospel is to hear the gospel.  It not be could it be otherwise for  how can one believe something he has not heard?  So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).
