God's Blueprint for Salvation - Paperback

by Fred P. Baker (Author)

The greatest love story ever told began in the Garden of Eden. A holy God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) created Adam and Eve in His own image, yet Adam and Eve disobeyed and sinned against Him. Sin destroyed their relationship with God; therefore, they could no longer live in God's presence. Today, sin continues to cause a divide between God and the people He created, stopping us from living a fulfilled life that has meaning and purpose. Thankfully, God has an answer and I pray you find encouragement, hope and God's blueprint for salvation in the pages of this book. The wages of sin is death and sin must be paid for. Either God must pay, or we must pay; no third person can pay for our sin. In His blueprint, God pays the penalty for our sin through Jesus Christ and returns holiness to our spirit, mind and body so we can again live and enjoy God's presence. This great love story begins in Genesis and concludes in the book of the Revelation as man re-enters God's presence. Join me and countless others on this journey and experience God's Blueprint for Salvation.
