Title: The Great Scheme of Redemption
1The Great Scheme of Redemption
- Introduction
- What is the Scheme of Redemption
2In order to understand fully and perfectly any
one part or element of a system, it is necessary
to have, in the first place, a general and
comprehensive knowledge of the whole.
3The Bible is a unit.
- Its primary, general and ultimate objective is
to develop one great and glorious System of
Devine Wisdom (as the Mystery revealed Eph. 310)
to reveal justice, goodness, mercy, and love
through Jesus Christ for the redemption of fallen
man (Romans 512, 18-19 I Cor. 1521)
4Romans 5 12, 18-19
12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered
the world, and death through sin, and thus death
spread to all men, because all sinned
18 Therefore, as through one mans offense
judgment came to all men, resulting in
condemnation, even so through one Mans righteous
act the free gift came to all men, resulting in
justification of life. 19 For as by one mans
disobedience many were made sinners, so also by
one Mans obedience many will be made righteous.
I Corinthians 1521
21 For since by man came death, by Man also came
the resurrection of the dead.

made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly

Christ), 5 which in other ages was not made known
to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed
by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets

Christ through the gospel, 7 of which I became a
minister according to the gift of the grace of
God given to me by the effective working of His
power.

saints, this grace was given, that I should

Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure
of His will,
23Ephesians 17-11 New King James Version

blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the
riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound

according to His good pleasure which He purposed
in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the
fullness of the times He might gather together in

will,

mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained
before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of
the rulers of this age knew for had they known,
they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

who once were alienated and enemies in your mind

you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in
His sight
Through the blood of Christ we are made PERFECT!

Christ who was in them was indicating when He
testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and
the glories that would follow. 12 To them it was
revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they
were ministering the things which now have been
reported to you through those who have preached
the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from
heaventhings which angels desire to look into.
