Like puzzle pieces falling into place as they form a picture, step by step a clear overview of God's magnificent plan for the salvation of humankind emerges, giving a deeper understanding of the Christian faith and why it works. The author shares her journey as age-old questions are answered: What happened that caused the need for a plan of salvation? Why did God create Earth, and why does He allow it to continue to exist? What is so special about Jesus that He could die for the sins of all humankind? Why was His death a requirement for salvation to be accomplished? What takes place in the soul and spirit as we hear the gospel of Christ? What are the changes that occur in those who accept Jesus as their savior? What is the role of the Holy Spirit in the plan of salvation? Is salvation a gift or a work? Can a Christian lose his or her salvation?
