"You saved us from our sins!"

"Then I saw lots and lots and lots of people. There were too many people to count. No one could ever count them all. They came from all around the world. They came from every country. They came from every people-group. They came from every language. They were standing in front of God's throne. They were standing in front of Jesus. Jesus is like a lamb. They had white robes. They were holding palm branches in their hands. They shouted, "God, you sit on the throne! Jesus, you are like a lamb! You saved us from our sins! You are the winners over Satan!" (Revelation 7:9-10, The B-I-B-L-E).

The best kind of exercise

"It is good to exercise. It is good to walk. It is good to run. That is good for your body. But there is another kind of exercise. Do what is right. Obey God's Word. Pray. Be kind to others. That kind of exercise is super important. That kind of exercise will help you in every way. Then God will be happy with you. God will bless you now on the earth. And you can live with God in heaven forever" (1 Timothy 4:8, The B-I-B-L-E).

Jesus will stick up for us

"Jesus died for our sins. Then God made Jesus come alive again. Now Jesus is in the important place in heaven. Jesus is the ruler with God in heaven. Jesus is always on our side. Jesus is always asking God to help us. So no one can say that we are bad. Jesus will stick up for us. Jesus will say that he died for our sins. Jesus will say that we belong to him"
(Romans 8:34, The B-I-B-L-E).

Jesus made the way for you to be right with God

"You are my friends. Listen to me. Your sins made you be far away from God. God was ready to punish you. You have God's rules. But you could not get right with God by obeying the rules. But God sent Jesus to the earth. Jesus died for your sins. Jesus took your punishment. But Jesus did not stay dead. God made Jesus come alive again. Jesus made the way for you to be right with God. Jesus made the way for God to forgive your sins" (Acts 13:38, The B-I-B-L-E).

We can help others the way God helps us

Paul wrote to the church in Corinth: "We have hard times. We have lots of problems. But God always helps us feel better. God helps us have a happy heart. God helps us keep on going. So now we can help others. Others have hard times too. Others have problems too. God already helped us. So now we can help others. We can help others the way God helps us" (2 Corinthians 1:4, The B-I-B-L-E).

That was just like being kind to me!

"The good people will say, 'Lord, when were you hungry? And when did we give you food? When were you thirsty? And when did we give you something to drink?' I will say, 'You were kind to other people in God's family. Maybe they were not important at all. But they were your brothers and sisters in God's family. That was just like being kind to me!'"
(Matthew 25:37,40, The B-I-B-L-E).

Do what is right no matter what happens!

"Jesus said, 'Do you want to follow me? Do you want to be close to me? Then stop thinking only about yourself. Stop thinking only about what you want. Stop trying to do only what you like. You need to be ready for hard times. People will hurt you. People will make fun of you. You need to be ready for that. You need to do what is right no matter what happens. You need to obey me no matter what happens. Then you can be my follower'" (Matthew 16:24, The B-I-B-L-E).
