"Some people say that God is slow to keep his promise. Some people say that Jesus will never come again. Do not think that way! I will tell you why Jesus did not come back yet. God is patient. God cares about people. God does not want anyone to be far away from him forever. So God is waiting for more people to be sorry for their sins. God is waiting for more people to get right with him"
"I wrote down some of the amazing things that Jesus did. Now you can know that Jesus is real. Now you can know that Jesus is true. Now you can know that Jesus is the Messiah. God sent Jesus here. Now you can know that Jesus is God's Son. Now you can know how to be right with God. You can trust in Jesus. You can know that Jesus took your punishment. Then you will have eternal life. You will live with God in heaven forever" (John 20:31, The B-I-B-L-E).
"Jesus said, 'I will go away soon. But I am giving you a gift. I am giving you peace in your heart. That is my special gift to you. You cannot get my peace anywhere else. People cannot give you peace in your heart. So do not worry. Do not keep on thinking about problems. Do not be scared. You will have my peace in your heart even when things are hard'"
"Jesus said, 'There are bad things all around you. There are bad ideas all around you. Those things are like darkness all around you. You do not know what is right. But I am like a light. I am like a light for all of the people in the world. I tell people the truth about God. I show them how to be right with God. I show them how to have eternal life'" (John 8:12, The B-I-B-L-E).
"Jesus said, 'What do you do when you are sick? Well, you go to a doctor. A doctor is for people who are sick. When you are well, you do not go to a doctor. That is like me. I came here to help people who know that they are bad. They know that they are far away from God. I tell them to stop doing bad things. I tell them to come to me. Other people think that they are good. They think that they are OK. They think that they do not need to trust in me'" (Luke 5:31-32, The B-I-B-L-E).
