The three persons of the Trinity were all involved in creating the universe. Likewise, all three members of the triune Godhead, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, are heavily involved in God’s salvation plan for man. The entire Bible is all about God’s redemption plan for us through his Son Jesus Christ. It’s the key to everything in life. God the Father designed the salvation plan for us before he laid the foundation of the world because God knows everything that will happen. God doesn’t create anyone with the intent of sending them to hell but he does have the foreknowledge to know who will accept his grace unto salvation and eternal life in heaven and who will not. God knows beforehand who he will call and who he will choose. God has planned every detail of his creation and how things will play out. With God there are no surprises.

1 Peter 1:20-21 – (about Jesus) – He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
The Holy Spirit of God came to earth at Pentecost to indwell all believers as our Helper. The Holy Spirit’s job is to share God’s spiritual truths with us, to convict sinners of their sins and make them aware of their need for repentance, and to save all believers unto eternal life by the grace of our heavenly Father.
Romans 1:16 – For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also the Greek (Gentile).

And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.
