Commentary

(THE) HOLY BIBLE SAYS: The plan of salvation is the gospel message.

God told Adam that if he ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil he would die.

Genesis 2:17 KJV
[17] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.


The serpent devil told Eve you shall not die.

Genesis 3:4-5 KJV
[4] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die (1): [5] For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods (2), knowing good and evil.


Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden tree.

Genesis 3:6-7 KJV
[6] And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. [7] And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.


History has proven God to be right.


You are the servant of the one you obey, whether of the devil unto death or of God unto everlasting life.

Romans 6:16 KJV
[16] Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?


Sin is the transgression or disobedience of the law or any commandment of God.

1 John 3:4 KJV
[4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.


Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin.

John 8:34-36 KJV
[34] Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. [35] And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. [36] If the Son therefore shall make you free, (Then) ye shall be free indeed.

Repent from sin, start doing right, and Jesus will give you life eternal.

That's the plan.
