Plan A: Adam & Eve
In the beginning, God created them in his image and placed them in a good environment. There was only one law. They broke it. People got worse and worse.
Plan B: Noah's family
God killed all the people except Noah's family of 8. They repopulated the earth. But people continued to sin.
Plan C: Abram and his descendants
This time, instead of killing everyone, God chose Abram and his descendants, the Israelites. God used Moses to perform miracles, gave them laws to follow, and settled them in the promised land. Periodically, God sent his spokesmen, the prophets, to warn them not to deviate from God. They were supposed to be God's chosen righteous people.
Plan D: Jesus and the believers
Lastly, God sent his Son, Jesus, to die for people's (Jews and Gentiles) sins. The Paraclete Holy Spirit was released to dwell in the spirits of believers. This was the final plan, the final solution, for God to create a righteous people for the kingdom of God.
One of these days, Jesus will return. On this last day, the universe will be renewed. Everyone who had died will be resurrected. Some will be judged to inherit the new Earth; Others will be condemned for eternality. God will have his righteous people for himself.
