Sin Has Created the Need
“Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.” “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” “Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and is lawlessness” (Genesis 6:5-6; Roman 3:23; 1 John 3:4).
God Has Created the Plan
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” “To the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places, according to the eternal purpose which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord’ (Roman 1:16-17; Ephesians 3:10-11).
