Who is Jesus?
In the Bible Gods
Word, God say’s Jesus is God’s Son, who was sent down to the earth from
God, so He can make the way back Himself.
Jesus longs to make
you a part of His family
God has provided
the only way to make us His children and to be at peace with Him. This is
done through the hard work of His Son Jesus Christ, as He died on the cross.
Here He was punished for all our wrong ways (sins).
God punished Him
instead of us.
God has made a way to give us His very own
forever Life and His very own perfect nature (His righteousness).
He invisibly places these wonderful qualities inside of us, as a gift.
He can then accept us and be pleased with us, so we can live with Him forever.
Come And
See God’s Work For Us!
God says In the Bible
“God Loved the world of people so much that He sent
and gave His one and only Son, so that anyone who believes in His Son Jesus
Christ shall not forever die, but
shall have eternal life”
John 3:16
God is going to destroy and remake the heavens
and earth, because they are old and all worn out. They are worn out because
they are full of creature sinfulness. This
sinfulness destroys the very nature of a thing. They become corrupted and
wear out and must be destroyed and changed.
Hebrews 1:10-12 – 2 Peter 3:10-11
We will see later what life will be like in the
New Heavens and Earth.
This is an Artists picture of the holy city, which
will be the new Jerusalem. The New Jerusalem will
be part of the new heavens and earth, after God has destroyed the present
heavens and earth.
Read about it in Revelation
21 & 22

All Are Welcome To Be In God’s Family!!
The Bible says that
Jesus Christ is The God.
As God Jesus Christ made
and created the heaven, the earth and everything else too.
He made the heavens, the sky, the sun, the moon
and the stars. He made the earth, the clouds, the trees, the plants, and
the seas too.
Jesus Christ the Creator holds everything
in His Powerful Hands!
The Lord God Made them All!
This is a song we sung when we were younger.
All things bright
and beautiful all creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God Made them All! He gave
us eye’s to see them and lips that we might tell, how great God Almighty
who has made all things well is!
He
created people too, but
We
Are All Born Lost To God and Not Part of His Family
He first created Adam and Eve.
They were our original parents!
He didn’t originate sin and
wrongdoing!
Sin came because Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s only
rule. Our first Father, who was named Adam and our first mother named Eve,
were the first humans to sin and do wrong on the earth.
They sinned
many, many years ago when they disobeyed God’s rule and took fruit from
the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil”,
which
God had forbidden them to eat!
They ate this
forbidden fruit and they died in their Spiritual life. There was nothing
wrong with the fruit, as such. It looked good to eat and was very pleasing
to the eye. It was the act of disobedience (acting independently of God)
that would cause the relationship between God and man to sour, go off and
die.
In this state of Spiritual Death Adam and Eve would
have spent eternity condemned and without God, if God hadn’t have intervened.
All the good things that they enjoyed in the garden
came to an end. Someone would have to intervene and solve this big problem
for them.
They were helpless and they tried to cover up their
problem (nakedness) with fig leaves, which they sewed together to cover
their nakedness. This is just like people trying to cover their sin with
acts of human goodness. God looked for His righteousness, but found only
human
self-righteousness. God condemns human
righteousness and goodness because it comes from people, with the nature
of sin.
We will see later how God gives to us His very
own Righteousness, as His gift.
Because of Adam’s sin of disobedience,
The Lord put them out of His beautiful Garden.
God held Adam responsible, because
He made Him the Boss in the garden.
One act of disobedience to God just grew and grew
in many ways, until the earth became full of sin and wrongdoing.
God gives the
guilt of Adam’s sin to us at birth to condemn us. He doesn’t wait until
we sin ourselves to condemn us. This way God can have compassion on us all,
so He can save us all.
Romans 11:32
We are born
with a sin nature inside our bodies and God places Adam’s sin to our sin
nature to condemn us at birth.And so we sin
in many ways. The Lord God condemns and judges sin wherever He finds it,
because He is Perfectly Good and Righteous.
We are all
under God’s watching eye
Self-goodness,
which is self-righteousness is called evil by God.
He rejects this too.
God condemns sin, good and evil
Only God Has
The Perfect Solution.
The Greatest News!!
Jesus
came to Seek and to Save the Lost
God Doesn’t Want To Punish Anyone!!
God’s says in The Bible,
I do not want anyone to perish and spend eternity
without them, and they without
2 Peter 3:9
God is going to punish all sin. The Lord God has provided
the Way to judge and punish our sins in His Son Jesus Christ without forever
judging and punishing us.
Jesus Christ, God’s Son Said He Would Come Freely And Be Punished For Us.
Wow!!
At the right time God became a man in the person of
His Son Jesus Christ.
God
became a human being as a Baby.
This
is what we remember at Christmas
Jesus grew up into a Man and performed many miracles.
He showed those around Him that
He was the Creator of everything.
He healed hundreds of people of their diseases
and did many other miraculous signs.
.He turned water into wine at a wedding party.
He made the blind see and the deaf to hear.
He healed the crippled
He raised the dead.
He fed over 5000 people with two loaves and five
small fishes
He calmed a very severe storm with the words “Peace
be still” The wind and the waves obeyed Him.
He walked on water
The more He
showed Himself as God. The more they were jealous of Him, hated Him and
tried to get rid of Him. They were so jealous of Him and hated Him so much
that they made up stories, and lied about Him, and they plotted to put Him
to death.
They had Him
brought before the Roman judge and accused Him of many things with their
lies.
The Roman judge
said that He was an innocent man, but he gave into the cruel rulers demands
and sentenced Him to die by nailing the creator and maker of everything
to a cross.
Unfair, unfair
you might say!
They beat Him
badly too, but
He didn’t feel sorry for Himself, cry or complain
It was very painful and unfair. He didn’t grumble,
not even once! He was courageous and strong.
It was then on the cross that God His Father punished
His only Son instead of us. All our sins our disobedience and bad deeds,
God His Father poured out onto His only Son and punished Him instead of
us.
He willingly was punished instead
of us!
This we remember at Easter
It was at this time that He cried and cried, as
He was carrying and being punished for all our sins. It was agony to be
separated from His Father because Jesus Loved His Heavenly Dad, so much.
GOD
His Heavenly Father rejected Him, while He was
punishing Him, because God is Perfect and can have
nothing to do with sin, except to punish it!
We can only imagine how they both must have felt
at this time, but our rescue was all they thought and cared about.
They forgot about themselves.
He was on the cross six hours when God poured out
our sins and wrath onto His Son Jesus Christ for sins and wrongs of the
whole wide world. He punished Him for all of the sins, since Adam first
sinned all those years ago.
Their Love was so Big
for us!
God punished His Son for all our sinful and wrong
ways
All Past Sins®
¬All Future Sins
Present Sins
God’s says in the Bible,
“God made Him who did no sin to be sin in our
place, so that in Jesus we could become the righteousness (Perfect Nature)
of God”
2 Corinthians 5:21
He Did this
for you and me !!!
After being punished for our sins, He breathed
out and died and was taken off the cross, and placed in a new empty tomb.
The Greatest News!!
Jesus
Lives
On the third day God resurrected His Son from the
dead.
This we remember on Easter Sunday.
Hundreds of people saw Him alive and some touched
Him. He even ate food and drank with His followers, the disciples.
After fifty days He went back to His Father in
Heaven. His work was Finished\Completed!
He is going to come back again! He said that He would return
and take us to be with Himself. We then can be with Him forever.
Will You Be Ready for His Return.
Jesus
is the Only Way to God
Jesus says in The Bible
“I Am The Way, The Truth and The
Life, no one comes to the Father in heaven but through Me”
John 14:6
What is Heaven Like?
God say’s in heaven that there are pleasures forever more
Psalm 16:13
In heaven, God promises there will be no more death,
pain or crying. There will be no more hunger or thirst.
No one will ever get sick. Friends and family will
not grow old and die. We will get
a brand new body, which will last forever.
No one will ever feel lonely and left out again.
Imagine it. There will be no need for hospitals,
doctor’s, dentist’s or funeral director’s
Death takes a permanent holiday- FOREVER!!
WOW!
There Will Be No
More
In heaven there will
be no more crying, arguing or cross and angry words. There will be no more
fighting and wars. There will only be God’s Happiness, Joy and Peace. God
carefully and lovingly provides for all our needs.
Revelation 21:4
Psalm 23:6 & Psalm 16:11
There will be great, great parties
Nothing like
we can ever imagine here on earth.
Heaven will be a place of great FUN
You might be thinking this is all too good
to be true, but when
God makes a promise,
He Never goes back
on His Promise to anyone. He always does what He promises!
In Gods Word the Bible, Jesus Christ says
“I go to prepare a place for you,
and if I go to prepare
a place for you.
I will come again and take you to be
with myself, that where
I am,
there you will be also”
John 14:6
The way to heaven is open now.
It is free for all. Not just
Children and Young people, but Mum’s, Dad’s, Grandma’s and Grandpa’s, Aunties,
Uncles, Carer’s, and anyone who will come.
Believe in
Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and be sure of a place in heaven.
Heaven is a place I am going to when I die!
What about you? Why not guarantee a place there
for yourself?
Here’s the
big Enormous surprise!
There is only
one thing you have to do to be sure of a place in Heaven, the
Just Believe in Jesus, that He was punished
for all your sins on the cross. By believing that He died in your place,
you are placing your trust in Jesus Christ and His saving work for you on
the cross.
That’s it! Just be willing to
accept and believe in Him!!!
John 3:16 & John 20:31
Jesus died
for all people who do wrong things called sins. We all do wrong things.
He died for
us all.
Will you “Believe”
in Him?
If you “Believe” in Him, He becomes
your very own Saviour and He will completely forgive all your wrongness,
no matter how bad and ugly it is. He will give you His very own Righteousness
(Perfection Nature)
and Eternal Life.
You will then belong to God and He will put His
judgement of you aside, forever.
You will be
one with God and can live with Him forevermore!
It’s as easy as accepting a gift on your birthday
or Christmas, that you did not deserve or pay for.
Wow! That’s easy, isn’t it?
Why not just receive God’s love gift today
: 
Remember it’s easy for us, but
God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son had to pay a Very, Very High Price.
God has provided
the way to be forever saved. It‘s free and so easy that anyone
can come
It doesn’t matter how young you are.
How old you are,
or in-between
or handicapped or how
sick you are.
God through His Son made the
way.
It Doesn’t Matter To God! He
Showed His love For All By Providing This Free
And Easy Way For All.
The Good News is that
God
Forgives Freely and Completely!
It doesn’t matter what you may have done wrong
or how ugly your past is.
East <<<<< God
>>>>>>West
God says “As far as the east is
from the west, so far have I taken away your sins from you” Psalm 103:12
You can’t promise God to be good, to get God’s
forgiveness. God does not accept our niceness, kindness and good behaviour
as being good enough for God, as good as we might be. Only Jesus Christ
was good enough to pay the price for our sin. He is the only one who can
open Heavens door and let us in.
Ephesians 2: 8-9
He Paid our Debt to God in Full!
Score a bulls eye with
God and come just as you are.
.
Will you believe in Jesus Christ
and accept Gods gift for you???
You could pray this prayer,
if you wish too or just think the words
“I believe in Jesus Christ”
Prayer
“Dear God and
Loving Heavenly Father. You sent your Son to take the punishment I deserve
for my sins. I am now believing and placing my trust in your Son Jesus Christ
alone. I accept Him as my own personal saviour, Amen”
That is all
you have to do. You will NEVER face the place of eternal punishment
with the Devil whose name is also Satan.
You can’t return
from the dead and choose Gods way later. Now is the day to choose to be
saved.
He was raised to life, so you
can also later be raised to life with Jesus.
That’s just great and just what I need!
Wow!
From the Cross to
the Grave and
Then Alive - Forevermore!!
>>>
>>> 
When we die, we go straight to be with Jesus our
saviour, there in NO eternal judgement for all who belong to Jesus
Christ.
Romans 8:1
You only have to “Believe”
in Jesus Christ ONCE! for eternal salvation to
be all yours.
You are then firmly in
the hand of The Lord Jesus Christ Forever.
He gives His very own
Eternal life.
This means you have been
Born Again into God’s family.
Jesus said “I give unto
you “Eternal Life” and you shall Never Perish. No one can
snatch you out of My Hand”
John 10:28
You are now a kingly Child,
a child of God.
The bible says, how great is
the Heavenly Fathers Love for us, that He made us children of God.
1 John 4:1
Isn’t that
great!!!
You are now firmly anchored in God’s family
and under His care and
protection!
Life in God’s Royal Family has
just begun for you!
We now have
a Perfect and Kind
Heavenly Father
(Dad)
Our Heavenly Father Will Never
Leave us, forsake, walk out on and abandon us.
We can’t see
our Heavenly Dad (one day we shall see Him) but we can read about Him in
the Bible. We can see some all His commands and promises. We will do this
later on.
He will care
for our every need. He doesn’t promise a life without troubles, as we will
always have troubles, here on earth. He promises that
He will be
with us in our troubles and help us through them.
Prayer
He will always hear us when we pray to Him.
He will always answer us, not with a human voice
but in ways we don’t expect. Be patient and wait for Him. We must learn
to trust Him.
Now you are in Gods family, you must learn to live
as God want’s you to, as a member of His Royal Family. We need to live and
follow His instructions. You must depend on God to help
you to do so.
He has provided the Bible with His commands and
He has provided the Holy Spirit, as your teacher, helper and power. He will
help you to understand and obey God’s commands.
You need to
learn how to talk to God.
You must address all of your prayers to
“God The Father”
in the “Name of
Jesus Christ”
and spoken with “Power
of The Holy Spirit”
God is One God,but three in Persons.
All are equally God, and each has a different role
to perform in saving us.
It’s just like we have One Nation with many
peoples within that One nation. It’s just
like mum’s and dad when married become One
together
It’s just like when mum and dad have children,
they all are One Family
It’s like one family with three members.
It’s like maths sum.
1 X 1 X 1 =
1 (One God)
&
1 + 1 + 1 =
3 (Three Persons)
So it is with God. There is One God
and three persons within
the Godhead.
They all work together (Unity)
God The Father is the
Big planner (the architect).
God The Son takes the
plans and makes what has been designed, just like a builder.
God The Holy Spirit shows
all people who want to know what God has planned? He helps people to understand
God’s way and then gives them the power to do His work!
We have that power when we are in fellowship with
God (we are in fellowship with God when we have named our sins to God the
Father)
God the Holy Spirit is our helper.
He is the Light
and He is All Powerful
Prayer is like a direct telephone line with God.
He wants to talk in close companionship (fellowship)with
us daily through Holy Spirit and through the Bible.
He want’s us to talk to Him daily, telling Him
what our needs are and thanking Him for everything in our lives, whether
good or difficult.
He wants to talk with us.
We are important to Him.
When God has saved us, He wants us to have companionship
and friendship with Him always.
Sometimes we lose the companionship (called fellowship)
with God when we do not obey God and we do what is wrong.
After we have been saved we continue to sin, sins
like disobeying mum, dad, our carers or our teachers. Feeling sorry for
our selves and not sharing, even fighting with others.
We tell lies, we hate, and sometimes we might steal.
e become jealous and we are angry with others,
with what they have and we don’t have.
God has provided
an easy way for us to get our fellowship (companionship) back with Him.
Jesus was punished
for all of our sins on the cross, even our future sins. All we have to do
is tell God The Father what we have done wrong.
We tell Him
what He already knows, and He forgives us from everything.
He has promised
to do this.
He cleans away
all that is wrong when we have told Him the wrong we have done. We are now
clean to serve God again. We may do this many times a day. He Never gets tired of us though.
He will always
forgive us, when we tell Him the wrong we’ve done. He is faithful to us,
even when we fail or forget Him.
We can now
go on serving and pleasing God
in
good companionship (fellowship) with Him and by the power of The Holy Spirit.
We can then be free to learn and obey God’s Word, the Bible.
God’s Promise to us
God says. If we name our sins to Him, He will forgive
us all our sins and make us clean once more from all other wrongdoing.
1 John 1:9
Confess it
once only
Because God
is gracious, it is great not to have to beg God by asking for His forgiveness,
or feel sorry for our sins, or promise God that we will never do it again.
When we have
confessed the sin, we must not feel guilty about it ever again. Jesus Christ
was punished for our sins so we don’t need to punish ourselves with guilt
Jesus work
is all that God is pleased with and it is good enough for God the Father.
Promising God that we won’t sin again; is a promise we can never keep because
we all have the nature of sin. All we have to do is name the wrong thing
to God, and He forgives us straight away.
If you are
stuck and burdened with the burden of feeling guilty, choose the God’s GRACE
and rest in the work of Jesus for you. Give the pack of guilt to Him to
carry. He already paid the price of your sin on the cross.
Only in heaven
will we be perfect
We still have
a sinful nature and do wrong things while we are here on earth.
Be careful
that you do not do wrong things on purpose, knowing that He will forgive
you. He will forgive you, But God is NOT pleased when we sin on purpose,
because He must discipline and punish His children for deliberate disobedience.
God is NOT
pleased when we sin on purpose
You need to ask God to help you with this battle
of sin and trust in Him to help you. Keep telling Him when you do wrong
things. Try and think about why you did the wrong thing, and then talk to
God about it. He loves to help us.
Remember you
can always pray to God for help any time you wish too. You can pray to God
in any place, anytime, anywhere and about anything.
I
God’s Promise
to you
God promises
in the bible and says,
“Call to
me and I will answer you”
Jeremiah 33:3
God’s Promise
to you
He also says, before
you call, I will answer you, while you are still speaking I will hear you”
Jeremiah 33:3,
Isaiah 65:24
Sometimes we hurt other people too and must go
to them and apologise for hurting them. Tell God first and then ask Him
to help you talk to the other person\s whom you have hurt, when you did
them wrong.
Remember that we can never ever loose our family
ties to God. No matter what we do!
He wants us to be obedient to Him though.
Once His child -
Always His child.
God’s Promise to you
“I will never leave you, nor turn My
back on you”
Hebrews 13:5
You are secure forever and ever!
God’s Promise to you
God also says, “I give to you eternal life, you
shall Never Perish, no one can snatch you out of my hand.
John 10:28
Remember you are not in heaven yet, so life may
be unfair and very difficult. Remember that you must go on trusting God
at His Word, no matter what your problems are. He has many, many promises
for you so you can trust and obey Him.
You are now in Gods army with battles to fight,
but Jesus will be with you in them all, and He will
carry you through them.
You are His sheep and under His care.
Psalm 100:3
Some of the mountains (problems) in your life may
be very hard and tough. Problems like rejection or loss of friends, loss
of mum or dad, or even both. You may be very sick in hospital, or you might
be visiting the doctor or dentist. He knows where you are, and cares for
you whatever your problems may be!
God will conquer the mountain of fear and worry
for you. Hold Him to His Word and through the power of the Holy Spirit and
His Word. He will carry you through your problems, so that your faith (trust)
in Him gets stronger and stronger.
God’s Promise
to you
God say’s, “Don’t be afraid I am with you,
don’t be discouraged.
I am your God”
One of the biggest battles you are going to have
is always being obedient to your mum and dad, your carer, grand parents,
teachers, or your coaches, and even the policeman.
Remember that God has given to you His own Word
the bible, which is loaded down with many promises to help you in all your
battles.
God the Heavenly Father gave other promises for
you apart from the promises already mentioned
Here are more of Gods promises
to you, to help you be obedient to God and to trust him. These promises
help you win all those eternal rewards, which He especially made just for
you.
God’s Promise
to you
Give all your
cares, worries and fears to me for I am the One caring for you, by doing
this you are obedient to me and I will help, encourage and rescue you in
the right time.
1 Peter 5:7
We must be patient in waiting for God. He is always
on time with the right answer.
God’s Promise to you
Come to me (Jesus), all you who are tired and rejected,
facing unfairness and afraid and I will give you rest and peace, and carry
you. Take my ways upon you and learn from me, for my ways are easier than
yours, and my load is lighter for you to carry, than your own.
Matthew 8:28
Remember that Jesus
Christ is The God Who Made all things, and He keeps
His Word
As the creator of all things He says. I will supply all your needs from the great riches
that Jesus Christ has in Him”
Philippians 4:19
God’s Promise
to you
Don’t be afraid
for I AM with you; do not be worried for I am your God. I will give you
strength. I will help you with my power.
Isaiah 41:10
God’s Promise to you
God
is our place of shelter and strength an always there, ever present help
in days when you face trouble. I will not fear even though everything around
me is falling apart.
Psalm 46:1-2
God’s Promise to you
Nothing can separate you from
the Love God has for you in Christ Jesus. Life nor death, friends or enemies,
nothing else in all creation can do this.
Romans 8:38-39
God’s Promise to you
God is working all things together
for the Good. to those who Love God, who He has
called to be His and do what is pleasing to Him.
Romans 8:28
God’s Promise
to you
“I go and am
preparing a place for you and if I go to prepare a place for you. I
will come again to take you to be with myself, that
where I am
there you will be also”
John 14:6
God is at Work for you. He has a mansion in Heaven.
Just for You. He makes it as He has designed it, and it will be just perfect.
John 14:6
Remember that
obedience is one of the most important battles to win. That is Obedience
to God, your mum and or dad, your carers, the policemen and your teachers
too.
God’s Promise
to you
“Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is
right. Honour your father and mother, which is the first commandment with
a promise – that it may go well with you and that
you may enjoy long life
on the earth”
Ephesians 6:1
“Children obey your parents in everything for this
pleases the Lord Jesus”
Colossians 3:20
Well done is
what our heavenly Father thinks of you!! You are a real hero to win
this difficult test and battle. Your parent or carers will think you’re
a champion too.
Forgiveness
is another very important and sometimes one of the biggest battles to win.
To forgive others no matter what they have done to you is a big test too.
God will help you forgive and keep on forgiving with His help.
You must stay
in close companionship (fellowship) with God in all tests. He promises in
the bible that you can ask Him to
help
you anytime.
We will often
fall and get thrown about by our sins, as we walk and live in God’s plan.
.
Remember to
tell God all about it.
Then pick yourself
up, dust yourself off and start again. Forget it, God has.
God knows and
watches us and cheers us on, along with His Angels too. We can’t see them,
but they are there watching us.
Remember that
God rewards the winners.
God’s plan of salvation
is the same for everyone, because God has said that He is waiting and is
patient with us, not wanting that anyone should perish (with Satan), but
that everyone comes to change their minds about Jesus Christ and what He
did for all on the cross.
2 Peter 3:9
Gods plan is same way for everyone. It’s the same
way for mum’s and dad’s, carers, brothers and sisters, grandmas and grandpas,
aunties, uncles and cousins, friends even those we done like or even hate.
It’s the same plan for those who do not like us,
for strangers and for everyone else.
He died for all and all can come the same way.
His forgiveness is bigger than
all failures.
None are too bad. He will forgive
and pardon all. No matter what!
Jesus Christ says, I am the
way to heaven (when you die), the only Truth and the true way to life with
God in heaven. No one can come to heaven, to the Heavenly Father but through
Me.
John 14:6
Why not read plenty of bible stories and see how
other people have trusted Him and how he worked things for Good for other
people too.
Some of the heroes died but they were strong in
their love for God, and it was time for them to go home. God helped them.
To learn more about God go
Why not read about them in a young persons Bible
Hand book. You can get one in many good bible bookshops.
