God’s Redemptive Plan

The bible teaches us in Romans 3:23, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” 

From the beginning we know that sinned entered the world when Satan disguised as a serpent tempted Eve to eat the fruit from the tree that God had told them they could not eat of.  Genesis 2:16-17, “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

The serpent lied to her when he said, Genesis 3:4, “You will not surely die.  For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Following this transgress by Eve then Adam, they were thrown out of the garden and sin had entered the world.  So, because of sin, man was separated from God.  Due to this separation, a plan of redemption was needed.  This would be done through His the son, Jesus Christ. 

The plan started with Abram, later called Abraham.  In Genesis 12:2, “I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.”

Abraham would have a son Isaac.  Isaac would have a son Jacob who would have twelve sons.  Through one of these sons, Judah the lineage of Christ would come through.  In Genesis 49:10, “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to Him shall be the obedience of the people.”

In the book of Matthew 1 we can read of the lineage of Christ. 

“The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers. Judah begot Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez begot Hezron, and Hezron begot Ram. Ram begot Amminadab, Amminadab begot Nahshon, and Nahshon begot Salmon. Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David the king.  David the king begot Solomon by her [b]who had been the wife of Uriah. Solomon begot Rehoboam, Rehoboam begot Abijah, and Abijah begot Asa. Asa begot Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat begot Joram, and Joram begot Uzziah. Uzziah begot Jotham, Jotham begot Ahaz, and Ahaz begot Hezekiah. Hezekiah begot Manasseh, Manasseh begot [d]Amon, and Amon begot Josiah. Josiah begot Jeconiah and his brothers about the time they were carried away to Babylon.

And after they were brought to Babylon, Jeconiah begot Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begot Zerubbabel. Zerubbabel begot Abiud, Abiud begot Eliakim, and Eliakim begot Azor. Azor begot Zadok, Zadok begot Achim, and Achim begot Eliud. Eliud begot Eleazar, Eleazar begot Matthan, and Matthan begot Jacob. And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.  So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.”
