Mat 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Mat 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Mat 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Mat 19:20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Mat 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

Two things should be pointed out as to the plan of salvation as you call it here.

First as this would still be old testament times of course Jesus pointed to the law and commanded it be kept for salvation.

Secondly the principle that one must live a righteous life so as to remain saved is still taught today.

No where in this passage does Jesus say He is not God rather by His question He is along the man if he is calling Jesus God.

Jesus only listed 6 commandments which were needed for eternal life, not mentioning the other 4. That's one of His many plans of salvation.

Jesus said only one was good, His God, and didn't point to Himself as that person.
