What Are the Three “P” s?

There is a TV commercial that seems as if it airs constantly. The gentleman is trying to get you to buy life insurance, and he mentions the 3 “P” s. Then, inquiring customers ask, “What are the 3 ‘P’s?” He explains that the 3 “P” s are: “A Price you can afford, a Price that can’t increase, and a Price that fits your budget.”

I heard this commercial the other day and thought of God’s three “P” s.

Salvation was God’s Plan, Jesus’ Participation, and the Holy Spirit’s Power!

You may be thinking, “That’s great, but what’s my price?” With God’s salvation plan, a Price you can afford, a Price that can’t increase, and a Price that fits your budget.

You see, Jesus Christ, God’s Son, died on a cross to pay for your sins, all the things you have ever done wrong in your life. All of them! So you owe nothing. This was God’s Plan that Jesus Participated in. You can never be good enough to earn your way into heaven. You can never follow the rules perfectly because with God, there are no rules, yet there is a better way to live than I would suggest you are now. After Jesus died on the cross, He was laid to rest in a tomb. But on the third day, the Holy Spirit raised him from the dead. So it was the Holy Spirit’s Power.

The price of salvation has been paid in full and so will never go up. I think that fits your budget quite well. To accept Jesus into your life and receive eternal life for the rest of time.

“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him. John 3:16-18 (MSG)
