INTRODUCTION
Introduction
God’s Plan of Salvation, also known as the Plan of Happiness, explains this great gift from God to mankind. Salvation is defined as “a saving or being saved from danger, evil difficulty, destruction, etc.; rescue.” This book presents an important message and presents information about salvation you should understand because of eternal consequences.
This is not about preaching or talking about abstract theories or even philosophies of men. This book covers God’s relationship with His family, and blessings each receive from the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We learn from our pre-earth existence to mortality gaining earthly experiences with its trials and challenges. From our death to subsequent rewards, we realize how much God loves us and has a carefully planned program to richly bless us through eternity based on our righteousness here on earth.
This book should be an exciting read, challenging and informative. You should see a logical demonstration of God’s eternal Plan of Salvation. The rewards of eternity will be based on the life lived here and following the example and teachings of Jesus Christ.
God’s glory is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. Jesus Christ died on the cross and was resurrected because of his love for us. He did this voluntarily He paid for our sins and his death and resurrection gives each of us his gift of immortality without any requirement on our part. Depending upon the life we live and complying with eternal conditions, we can have eternal life, which is to live with God and Jesus Christ forever.
The central theme of this book is the Atonement of Jesus Christ with a supporting role by Elijah, the prophet of old. It applies to all of God’s children, whether living or dead as a result of the Savior’s great Plan of Salvation.
God loved us so he sent His Son. (John 3:26-27.)
Elijah’s mission is clearly stated:
Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and spite the earth with a curse. (Malachi 4:5-6.)
Elijah plays a significant role in the implementation of God’s eternal Plan of Salvation presented by Jesus Christ in our Pre-Earth life existence.
This book contains elements to prove intellectually there is a God, and upon completing this book, the reader should understand God’s eternal Plan of Salvation. I make this BOLD statement for all who read this book! It is important for you now and in your future. A spiritual testimony must come through the Holy Ghost and is available to everyone who honestly seeks it.
Simply stated, God wanted his spiritual children to advance so they could become mortal. The Plan of Salvation provides a blue print for man to come to earth, advance righteously and qualifying to return to God after leaving mortality.
Jesus Christ offered himself as a sacrificial lamb, taking upon himself all the sins of mankind, thus providing a way to repent and overcome our sins. This unselfish act is known as the Atonement. We may not fully comprehend what the Atonement means and what it does for us, nevertheless, it is operational for our benefit.
God has billions of spirit children. Each has the right to make choices pertaining to their desire to return or not return back to God. Think of the enormous responsibility to account for every single child of God. The Atonement and the Mission of Elijah complies with all the requirements to identify and account for all these children. This book takes us on a complete journey from our pre-existence state, our journey to earth, our death, and return with immortality to an eternal post-mortal existence.
We learn about the Atonement and a need for a Savior. We are taught about God’s Family in Heaven.
We learn of Elijah’s family centered mission and its relationship to the Atonement as he fulfills his mission occurring before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
We review the impact Adam and Eve have on our existence here and by being the First Family they provided eternal blessings for us.
The Abrahamic Covenant is explained, showing how Abraham blesses mankind through his relationship with Jehovah, the great I AM and the blessings of the gospel to his posterity down through the ages. The foundation of this Covenant is family unity.
We see challenges and threats to today’s family. A practical sense of teaching within the family is important to our understanding of parenthood through the important document: The Family: A Proclamation: To the World.
We examine the conditions of the Restoration of all Things. And the benefactor to this restoration is the family. The Dispensation of the fulness of times is the time period this restoration takes place. It is the very day in which we live.
We learn the history of Temples and their importance in man’s progression toward perfecting God children and their families. Temple attendance is a current activity in Jesus Christ’ true Church which prepares for eternal blessings.
Paul teaches us the New Testament principle of Baptism for the Dead. This is most vital to the Atonement for it provides saving eternal principles for living and deceased persons, recording in Heaven that which is recorded on earth with accountability for each and every one of God’s spiritual children. Baptism for the dead unites families.
We are introduced to the “Spirit of Elijah”, which power moves and motivates those engaged in family history and research work called genealogy, a family oriented service.
We learn of the creation and work of the Center for Jewish History, which supports and sustains the work of Elijah among Jewish people and their history, helping to advance the Atonement and Elijah’s mission. This Center is a great blessing to Jewish families and the world.
We must not forget the importance of the Mission of Orson Hyde, an apostle of Jesus Christ, who dedicated the Land of Israel for the restoration of the Jews. The gathering of Israel brings families to their rightful home. We see this prophecy being fulfilled right now, before our eyes as summarized in Appendix B.
The Gathering of the House of Israel follows with inspiring information.
As we prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, we learn of events leading up to the End of Time and various “signs” to warn us of pending judgments. Sad, but most people cannot read the “Signs of the Times” because they lack spiritual understanding. (This same principle will apply to some readers of this book. They will be turned off from the contents of fundamental principles presented herein because they lack spiritual understanding.)
In the last days, there will be two Jerusalem’s, one in Israel and a New Jerusalem in America.
At the end of the world, which is the end of the wicked, the Millennium begins. Judgments and assignments of individual rewards of glory or mansions follow.
In the chapter on Comparative Religion we learn of interesting and surprising, revealing, issues of our day affecting all churches. It is disturbing the lack of unity among church doctrine in following God’s commandments.
Families are constantly attacked by evil forces. Satan is the source of these attacks. We cover two tools dominating and threatening families today.
The Author gives a closing statement summarizing some of God’s revelations dealing with these latter-days.
The book concludes with two Appendixes.
Appendix A introduces the concept of fundamentals of genealogy—getting started with hands on, of Family Tree principles, supported by genealogy resource helps and using internet tools.
Appendix B provides factual information sustaining prophecy relating to the gathering of the Jewish people in the last days building up to the return of Jesus Christ in concert with the Covenant between Jehovah and Abraham.
God’s Plan of Salvation is unique. The Atonement is presented with clarity. Elijah, the Prophet, performed an important mission impacting every human being, especially the family unit. His mission takes place in three dispensations: (1) In Old Testament times, (2) In the Meridian of Times, and (3) In our day, which is the Dispensation of the Fulness of Times. His mission impacts all dispensations of the earth and will extend into the millennium.
There is purpose for our existence and our future is certain. God knew we would face challenges when He placed us here. He knew we would be less than perfect and He prepared a way for us to overcome by providing a Savior.
The book seeks to share eternal truths, pointing our eternal consequences. Your intellectual testimony should inspire you in obtaining a spiritual testimony of this books contents, providing a blue print for your eternal journey. If you gain nothing except a complete understanding of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, then I will have achieved the purposes for this book.
Remember: This book is all about the Atonement of Jesus Christ and eternal blessings for individuals and families.
At the end of each chapter, there is a summary of Fundamental Principles of importance.
Thank you for taking this journey with me.
