7 Important Questions Boys and Girls Ask...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. WHO IS GOD?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
God lives in Heaven. He made the earth, the stars, the animals and people. He
|
||
|
|
made everything and knows everything. God is good.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that
|
||
|
|
whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" John
|
||
|
|
3:16.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. WHO IS JESUS?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Jesus is God's Son who has never sinned. Jesus, who lived in Heaven, came to
|
||
|
|
live on earth. He loves you and wants you to go to Heaven... He does not want
|
||
|
|
you to go to Hell. So, He died on a cross to take away your sins. He was
|
||
|
|
buried. Then after three days He came out of the grave and went back to
|
||
|
|
Heaven, where He lives now.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. WHERE DID WE COME FROM?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
God made all people. The first man and women were named Adam and Eve. God was
|
||
|
|
their friend and He gave them a beautiful garden to live in.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
God made everything and everyone in the whole world. He made YOU. "In the
|
||
|
|
beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Gen. 1:1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. WHO IS THE DEVIL?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The devil was a bad angel. He hated God and wanted His power. That was sin.
|
||
|
|
God told the devil he could no longer be one of God's angels. So He is God's
|
||
|
|
enemy.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. WHAT IS SIN?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sin means to go against God's word. The devil tries to make us go against
|
||
|
|
God's word.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One day the devil came to Eve in the garden and told her to eat some fruit
|
||
|
|
from a certain tree... which God had told her not to do!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The devil lied. He said, "You won't die if you eat the fruit!" So Eve ate the
|
||
|
|
fruit and gave some to Adam.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Everyone has sinned. You have sinned.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"All have sinned" Romans 3:23.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE DIE?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
God must punish sin. So He tells us in His Book the Bible, what that
|
||
|
|
punishment will be. He says, "The wages of sin is death" Romans 6:23. All who
|
||
|
|
have sinned will go to a place called Hell when they die. There is much sorrow
|
||
|
|
and pain there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But if you ask Jesus to forgive your sins, He will take you to Heaven. Heaven
|
||
|
|
is a wonderful place where there is no pain or sorrow or death. It is full of
|
||
|
|
happiness.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans
|
||
|
|
10:13.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
7. HOW CAN YOU GO TO HEAVEN?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Jesus said you must believe that He died and rose again to take away your
|
||
|
|
sins. Receive Him now as your Saviour. When you do, He will forgive you and
|
||
|
|
cleanse you from sin and take you to heaven when you die. "As many as received
|
||
|
|
Him to them gave he power to become the sons of God.." John 1:12
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"...ye must be born again." John 3:7
|
||
|
