Jesus is awesome

"Jesus is awesome. Jesus is perfect. Jesus shows us what God the Father is like. They are always together. God the Father is God. And Jesus is God. Jesus takes care of everything that he made. He keeps things in their right place. He is stronger than anything. That is how he can hold the world together. Jesus died on the cross. He never did any sins. He died for our sins. He took our punishment. He made the way for us to be right with God. Jesus finished that job. Then he went back to heaven. He is with God the Father. Now Jesus is in the important place in heaven. Jesus is awesome" (Hebrews 1:3, The B-I-B-L-E).

Jesus is waiting

"Jesus said, 'I will come back again.' Jesus made a promise. But some people think that Jesus is too slow. They think that Jesus will not keep his promise. They think that Jesus will never come back. Do not think that way! Jesus is not being slow. He is not waiting too long. He is patient. He cares about you. He does not want anyone to be far away from God. He does not want to punish anyone. So he is patient. He is waiting for more people to be sorry for their sins. He is waiting for more people to get right with God"
(2 Peter 3:9, The B-I-B-L-E).

The war in your heart

"Sin used to be the ruler of your life. Your old self likes to do bad things. Your old self thinks it is fun to do bad things. That is the way you used to live. But now the Holy Spirit lives in you. He is the ruler of your life. He helps you want to do what is right. He helps you want good things. There is like a war in your heart. Those two things are always fighting. Your old self wants you to do bad things. The Holy Spirit wants you to do what is right. Every day you have to make lots of choices. Who is winning the war in your heart? Is your old self winning the war in your heart? Or is the Holy Spirit winning the war in your heart?" (Galatians 5:17, The B-I-B-L-E).
