Heaven Man God Christ Faith Commitment Kids' EE GOSPEL PRESENTATION Begin by asking the following two questions. 1. Do you know for sure that you are going to be with God in Heaven some day? 2. If God asked you, “Why should I let you into my Heaven?” what would you say? Kids' EE GOSPEL PRESENTATION • Here are two sample transitions. o I have really good news for you! o May I share with you how I know for sure I’m going to Heaven and how you can know this, too? To return to the By the Hand Web Site Click Here Kids' EE GOSPEL PRESENTATION • Heaven o Heaven is a free gift. It is not something you work for or deserve. o The Bible says, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23 KJV). o The Bible also says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). Kids' EE GOSPEL PRESENTATION • Man o We all sin, and we cannot save ourselves. o What is sin? Sin is anything that we think, say, do, or don’t do, that does not please God. o The Bible says, “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). o The Bible also says, “Be perfect, therefore, as your Heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48). Kids' EE GOSPEL PRESENTATION • God o God is loving, but God is also just. o The Bible also says, “God is love” (1 John 4:8b); but the Bible also says, “(He) will by no means clear the guilty” (Exodus 34:7b KJV). o On the one hand, God loves us and doesn’t want to punish us; o But on the other hand, God is just and must punish sin. Kids' EE GOSPEL PRESENTATION • Do you see the problem? o God solved this problem by sending His son Jesus. Kids' EE GOSPEL PRESENTATION • Christ o Jesus is God. He came from Heaven to earth. He lived a perfect life. o He died on the cross and rose from the dead, to pay the penalty for our sins and to purchase a place in Heaven for us. o The Bible says, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16 KJV). “The LORD has laid on Him (Jesus) the iniquity (sin) of us all” (Isaiah 53:6b KJV). Kids' EE GOSPEL PRESENTATION • How do we get this gift of eternal life? o By faith. Kids' EE GOSPEL PRESENTATION • Faith o Saving faith is not just knowing about God in your head. Saving faith is not just temporary. o Saving faith is trusting in Jesus Christ alone for our eternal life. o The Bible says, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved …” (Acts 16:31). o Does this make sense to you? Kids' EE GOSPEL PRESENTATION • Commitment o Would you like to pray now to ask Jesus to forgive your sins and to give you the gift of eternal life? o This means that you want to trust in Jesus, turn from your sins, and follow Him. o Jesus is alive today and has promised to come into the life of anyone who trusts in Him. Kids' EE GOSPEL PRESENTATION o Jesus says in the Bible, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in …” (Revelation 3:20). o If this is what you want, we can pray together. I can pray, and you can repeat after me: o Dear Jesus, Forgive my sins, and come into my life as my Lord and Savior. Amen. Kids' EE GOSPEL PRESENTATION o Jesus says, “… he who believes has everlasting life” (John 6:47b). o Now, do you know for sure that you are going to be with God in Heaven some day? o And if God asked you, “Why should I let you into my Heaven?” what would you say? o Welcome to the family of God!
