God made a plan, even from the very beginning, because He would never let his beloved people remain in bondage to his adversary
the devil -- the thief of their dominion and abundant life. He allowed the devil to maintain his lordship over the earth
temporarily, but then He sent His own Son to pay the ransom of the Earth with his own blood. All of mankind -- from every
nation, race, ethnicity, religion, or tradition -- now has access to God through the blood of Jesus Christ.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of LIFE in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could
not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned
sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the
Spirit {of LIFE in Christ Jesus}. --Romans 8:1-4 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and
to destroy: I am come that they might have LIFE, and that they might have it {LIFE} more abundantly. --John 10:10, KJV
I am he that LIVETH, and was dead; and, behold, I am ALIVE for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of
death. --Revelation 1:18 {God} will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For
there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified
in due time.}. --I Timothy 2:4-6 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath
declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside
me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am
God, and there is none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return,
That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and
strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed. --Isaiah 45:21-24 For
it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. --Romans
14:11
