Was the plan of salvation planned before the creation of the world?
Yes. The plan of salvation was pre-planned before anything was ever created. God would create man, man would sin and need a Savior and Redeemer, and God set everything in motion to bring about Christ’s crucifixion, resurrection, and the Gospel that Christ died for our sins.
Les explains that the Gospel—that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures—was all pre-planned before anything was ever created. God would create man, man would sin and find himself in need of a Savior, of a Redeemer. So God set everything in motion, brought about Christ in His earthly ministry, brought about His crucifixion, raised Him from the dead, and brought Him back into the very portals of heaven. From there He revealed these things that Paul calls the Secrets, or the Mysteries, and the very core of that is the Gospel, that Christ died for our sins. The Gospel is what saves, but conditionally: one must understand and believe, unless they have believed in vain.
