"Kids have lots of ideas. They want to try lots of things. they want to be free to do their own thing. But sometimes they think that bad things look fun. Sometimes they make bad choices. Oh-oh! Do not copy the bad things that they do. Try very hard to do what is right. Keep your life pure. Keep God's Word in your heart. Obey God's Word. Love God with your whole heart. Have peace with other Christians. Do not have little fights in the church"
"We have all done bad things. We are far away from God. Sin is the ruler of our life. We could not get right with God by ourselves. We could not get right with God by obeying the rules. God was ready to punish us. Then God sent Jesus to the earth. Jesus died for our sins. Jesus made the way for us to be right with God. We are sorry for our sins. We know that Jesus took our punishment. We are trusting in Jesus. So Jesus gave us a new life. Jesus is the ruler of our new life. Sin is not the ruler of our life anymore. So we will live with God in heaven forever. We will have all of God's blessings" (Hebrews 9:15, The B-I-B-L-E).
"Long ago, the prophets told that Jesus would die. And long ago, the prophets told that Jesus would come alive again. God's Word tells all about that. But we did not understand that before. We needed to see the empty cave. We needed to see the cloth folded there. Then we knew that Jesus came alive again! We knew that it was true!" (John 20:9, The B-I-B-L-E).
"People are far away from God. Their sins make them be far away from God. God is ready to punish them. But I [Jesus] came from heaven. I came to the earth. I came to make the way for people to be right with God. I came to make the way for God to forgive their sins. Then God will not punish them for their sins. I did not come to judge people. I came to save people. But some people do not obey my words. They do not want to trust in me"
