You can never do enough good things to be right with God

"There is only one way to be right with God. It is by trusting in Jesus. No one can ever be right with God by obeying rules. But maybe someone will say that you need to obey rules. Maybe someone will say that you need to obey rules to be right with God. Then they are not trusting in Jesus anymore. Then they are back in their old life. Then they are trying to do enough good things to be right with God" (Galatians 2:18, The B-I-B-L-E).

Everyone in the church should love each other

"Jesus made the way for people to be right with God. People can trust in Jesus. Then they can be part of God’s family. Then they will be part of the church. Jesus is the head of the church. Jesus gives gifts to people. People need to use their gifts to be a blessing to the church. Everyone in the church has an important job to do. Then everyone can keep on growing to know God better and better. Then the church will do God’s work. Then the church will grow. Then the church will trust in Jesus more and more. Then everyone in the church will show love to each other"
(Ephesians 4:16, The B-I-B-L-E).

God made the way to save us

"We did lots of bad things. So we were far away from God. But God still loved us. God sent Jesus to die for us. But Jesus did not stay dead. God made Jesus come alive again. Jesus made the way for us to be right with God. Jesus gave us a new life. Jesus is the ruler of our new life. Sin is not the ruler of our life anymore. We could not save ourselves. We could not get rid of our sins by ourselves. But God is super kind. God really loves us. So he made the way to save us" (Ephesians 2:5, The B-I-B-L-E).
