Why did Jesus come to the earth?

Jesus said, "Copy me. I came from heaven. But I did not come here for you to do something for me. No way! I came here to do something for you. I came here to let others kill me. All people have done bad things. All people are far away from God. God is ready to punish them. But I came to take people's punishment. I came to make the way for people to be right with God" (Mark 10:45, The B-I-B-L-E).

Only you tell us God's words

Peter said [to Jesus], "You are the Lord. We will not go away from you. There is no one else to teach us. Only you tell us God's words. Only you tell us how to be right with God. Only you tell us how to have eternal life. We know that you are true. We know that you came from God!" (John 6:68-69, The B-I-B-L-E).

We pray lots for you

We heard news about you. And we started praying for you right away. We pray lots for you. We pray that God will help you know what he wants you to do. God has a good plan for your life. We pray that God will help you know his plan. We pray that you will make good choices. We pray that you will understand God's Word. Then you will be careful about how you live. Then you will do what is right. Then you will make God happy. Then you will do lots of good things. Then you will keep on growing to know God better and better.
(Colossians 1:9-10, The B-I-B-L-E)

Everything in heaven is awesome

"We are part of God's family. We are God's children. So God will give us lots of blessings. God will give us lots of special things. Everything in heaven is awesome. Jesus is God's Son. So everything in heaven is his. We are part of God's family. So everything in heaven is for us too. But we will have hard times now. We do what is right. So people will be mean to us. That is just like Jesus. People were mean to him. People hurt him. And they will hurt us too. But then Jesus will share everything in heaven with us" (Romans 8:17, The B-I-B-L-E).

God will give a prize that lasts forever!

"Some people are good at sports. They have to work hard to be strong. They have to work hard to be fast. They want to win the race. They want to win the game. they want to get a prize. Life is like a race. If we keep on trusting in Jesus, we will win a prize. If we keep on doing what is right, we will win a prize. A runner just gets a trophy. The trophy will get old. It will not keep on being beautiful. But God will give a prize that lasts forever. God will give eternal life. We can live with God in heaven forever"
(1 Corinthians 9:25, The B-I-B-L-E).

You need to be ready for Jesus to come back

"Jesus said, 'Listen! Pay attention! I will come back all of a sudden. Robbers come all of a sudden. No one knows that they are coming. I will come all of a sudden too. You need to always be ready for me to come back. You need to always think that I could come that day. Be careful about how you live. Always be ready for me to come. If you do bad things, you will be sad when I come back. If you do bad things, you will want to hide when I come back'"
(Revelation 16:15, The B-I-B-L-E).

"I came for people who know that they are far away from God."

"Jesus said, 'Sick people need a doctor. People who are well do not need a doctor.' I will tell you what that means. Jesus talked about sick people. That means people who know that they are far away from God. Jesus is like the doctor. Some people knew that they were far away from God. They knew that they were sinners. They came to Jesus to get right with God....'Some people think that they are good. I did not come for them. I came for people who know that they are far away from God. I came for people who know that they are sinners. I came to tell them to stop doing bad things. I came to tell them to trust in me'"
(Matthew 9:12-13, The B-I-B-L-E).
