The Plan of Salvation
Problem: Sin
The bible teaches about a time when people lived at peace with God in a place called the Garden of Eden. God gave the first created beings one rule, “don’t eat from this one tree”. They could eat from any tree in this garden except this one tree, but the devil came in and convince the first women named Eve to eat from this tree and she convince her husband to follow and because of this, a separation happened between people and God.
Free Will vs Predestination
There is a debate among Christians that says we can either have free will or we can’t have free will. The answer is we do have free will, God gave the first humans the free will to eat from the tree or not to eat from it, so what is predestination? Predestination is just a fancy way of saying that God knows what will happen before it happens and so technically, he knew Adam and Eve would eat from the tree and he had a plan for it when it did happen, that is to send Jesus to pay the price for the sin, the price is death. Now others would say, well, if God knew it would happen, why put the tree in the garden? Well, because if he didn’t put it in the garden, then he wouldn’t be giving us free will.
Jews vs Christians
Jews and Christians are viewed almost like two different religions that worship the same God, what is up with that?
Soon after sin enter the world, God choose a man named Abram, whom later would get a name change to Abraham. God promised Abraham that he would become a great nation, then later promised that he would because a great assembly of nations. This great nation became the Jewish people commonly called Israel and throughout the Old Testament God was using Israel to be representees to the world. Israel’s job was to be a Holy, God-Fearing Nation to the entire world, but they failed over and over, because God gave them a law to follow and people are sinners and can’t follow the law perfectly, no matter who you are, we all fall short of perfection. The good news is God knew that this would happen before he even created the nation of Israel, that is why God told Abram, he would be Abraham, the father of many nations. That many nations are the church. And the laws and the prophets of the Old Testament aren’t wasted either, because within the laws and prophets of the Old Testament we find Jesus. Without getting into too much theology, Jesus because the sacrifice of sin for the entire world, just as the ram, bulls, lambs, and other answers were sacrificed int he Old Testament for different purposes. Jesus because the ultimate sacrifice. Death had to take place in order to satisfy the wage of sin and nothing was good enough, so God stepped down from heaven, we see this God being Jesus, he himself because the sacrifice.
Our commitment
All we need to do is repent of our sins, pray and asked God for forgiveness and turn to Jesus. Follow him. We don’t have to earn our way to heaven, it’s not possible, no other name on earth can save, except Jesus. John 3:16 says, “For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”
If you would like to accept Jesus into your life, it’s not hard, wherever you are, just pray to God to forgive you of your sins and to come into your heart and save you and now look for a local church in our area.

Hello,
I’m Keith
Welcome to Jesus Alone Saves!
There is one focus point for this website, it’s to bring people to Christ across the world and help them became devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
Who am I?
I hold a Divinity Bachelor Degree, soon I will have a Christians Leadership too and hopefully a Chaplaincy Degree. I join the Marines in 2017 during a season of my life where I was homeless and working as a manager at Walmart. I was homeless until 2019 and shortly after i enter into the financial industry where I almost became a financial advisor, but then God called me to leave Dallas, Texas and go to north Wisconsin, where I am now a utility locator and am actively trying to get a young adult, ministry launched but am having difficulty because local churches around here aren’t interested in reaching anyone. I have been told by multiple churches to go ask someone else.
So that is me, I’m a reject from the christian community, but I will not forget Jesus is the one I am serving! I say that so that people know that I understand how it feels to be rejected by the church and it’s not right, so I’m not going to reject you, I might reject your sin, but not you. So hope you join me here in exploring the plan God has for your life.
