The title really sums up what this book is all about. Very few
people would question that when the word religion is mentioned, the
word confusion is not far behind it. And although the word religion
could encompass many things, I speak of the Christian religion as
found in the Bible. There are very few people that have not heard
of the Bible. It is, as most would agree, the Word of God. What
they won't agree on is what it says. Although there are many issues
in the Bible that are confusing and challenging, I have chosen what
I believe is the most important one: how to enter into a saving
relationship with God the Father through God the Son (Jesus). For
the sake of understanding, I will entitle this God's plan of
salvation. What is it God that wants us to do (obedience) to put
our self in a place where He can save us? The Bible teaches us that
God sent His only Son (Jesus) into the world that we might be saved
by His sacrifice. The Bible also teaches that not everyone will be
saved. So it stands to reason that there is something we must do to
receive the salvation that God holds out for all. This then is the
reason for this book. When considering this issue, it is vitally
important to consider the whole of what the Bible has to say on
this issue. Many in the Christian world love to pull one verse from
its content and form God's plan (e.g. John 3:16). When writing this
work, I considered the entire New Testament.
