Sin separates us from God. Sin is anything we think, say, or do that breaks God’s rules. Every person has a sin problem. The Bible says in Romans 3:23 that ALL of us are sinners. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” We all deserve DEATH as punishment for being sinners! “For the wages of sin is death” Romans 6:23. 

Because God is holy and perfect, He cannot allow sin. He must punish sin. But God did something special to save us. He sent His son JESUS Christ to take our punishment. Jesus was put on a cross and suffered a horrible death, so that sinners like you and me could be forgiven and go to heaven. He did this to keep us from getting what we deserve, death and separation from God. Jesus' death on the cross made a way for us to be friends with God. But we must choose to live our lives for Jesus. 

To be saved, all we have to do is ask God to save us. We must call on His name, like it says in Romans 10:13. “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” We have to tell Him about our sin problem by admitting that we are sinners, repent (turn from our sins), believe that Jesus is God’s Son and accept God’s free gift of forgiveness from sin. Then we confess (tell others) about our faith in Jesus as Savior.

Boys and girls if you want to put your faith in Jesus, talk to a parent, grandparent or Sunday School teacher about it. If you have made the personal decision to ask God to save you, pray the prayer found in the Let's Pray" section.

God bless you!!!
