mankind and in light of God's plan for mankind the councils have also
attempt to explain who God is to mankind - A Note of Encouragement:
Participation in the blog Bible Study has been going extraordinarily
well since the start of the study and it continues as one of the most
active projects on the Basic Christian website. I'm encouraged and
blessed daily by the numbers of people who are so actively studying
the Bible and seeking a direct relationship with God in Jesus Christ.
Continue with prayer, study and fellowship! Continue the good work in
Jesus Christ!
A brief background note on the blog Bible Study and a summary of Redemption and Salvation: The Bible is about
the Redemption and Salvation plan of God for mankind therefore the blog Bible Study is attempting to be about the
Redemption and Salvation of mankind in examining the predetermined plan of God in Jesus Christ for mankind. -
Summary: Adam and his wife [later named Eve] were both a part of the original creation of God and were both
created possessing Redemption [in the visible, perceivable presence of God] and Salvation [eternal life]. With the
fall of Adam and Eve by disobedience to God that directly resulted in sin against God then Adam and Eve lost their
Redemption and Salvation and as a result of not having Redemption and Salvation they were then unable to pass
along Redemption and Salvation to any of their descendants including us at our present day. The very children of
Adam and Eve were without God in any form except in the brief [redemptive] knowledge of God that their parents
Adam and Eve were able tell them about from their experiences and for a few corrective and punitive [redemptive]
measures from God. It seems we fail to realize how complete the sin separation was for mankind and how
devastating the results were. Adam and Eve were a part of the original creation of God and then their immediate
children [Cain, Abel, Seth, etc.] composed a group of individuals separated from God but were able through the
instructions of their parents to follow substitutional sacrificial practices. This group highly separated from God
consisting of individuals and families were known as the 'sacrificing righteous Gentiles' a group of disorganized
individuals that encompassed the highly personally [self] esteemed Job and it finally the system spun completely out
of control and came to an end in the folly of Balaam the last of the sacrificing Gentiles. God chose the man Abram
(Abraham) and his wife Sarai (Sarah) from among the sacrificing Gentiles to become the father of the Jewish
Nation of further redeemed of God. Jewish Redemption was to bring mankind through the laws, customs and
representation of God into a more direct and more Redeemed presence of God [as an example for all of mankind]
than any of mankind had previously been since the fall of mankind. God Redeemed the Jewish Nation of Israel
through Covenants (Promises), Laws (Society), Kings (representation of God), Priests (access for the people to
God), Prophets (access from God to the people) all a direct representation of the one coming Jesus Christ the
Messiah of all mankind. With the now accomplished Redemption and Salvation for all mankind in the Messiah
Jesus Christ the finalized Christian Salvation and Redemption provided in the Virgin birth, atoning Redemption
blood and eternal Salvation resurrection life of Jesus Christ is the completed work of God among mankind however
not everyone is yet at the completed Christian work of God in mankind. The work of God in convicting Gentiles [in
remote areas who have not heard the Gospel] through their conscience about the Holy God and through the
enormity and splendor of God's creation continues. Also the Redemption of the Jewish people and Nation of Israel
continues and soon another group of Redeemed the End Time Martyred Saints of Revelation will be established and
quickly joined by the Redeemed 144,000 [Jewish Firstfruits (Revelation 14:4), Jews who acknowledge Jesus and
remain Jewish] Jewish Witnesses of Jesus Christ the Messiah. Then after the return of Jesus Christ and during His
1,000 year Righteous Kingdom reign here on earth there will be another group of Redeemed 'Millennial Saints' to
continue to fulfill and establish the Redemption and Salvation plan of God in Jesus Christ existing for all of
mankind throughout every age and into all of eternity.
