New Creation
Part of the beauty of the gospel is that God does not just rescue us from the power of sin, but He is also making everything new. God offers new creation to those who place their faith in Jesus. This newness comes in two ways. The first is that by breaking the power of sin, Jesus is making men and women into brand new people with new identities. Second, God is not only making people new, but He is also going to make a new heaven and a new earth for us to live on and worship Him in.
Every child should know that:
- Through Jesus, we can have new, true, eternal, abundant life in God.
Every child should:
- Talk about how this life will pass away, but eternal life in God is forever.
Every child should feel:
- Excitement for the opportunity to live eternally with God.
Every child should want:
- To live for eternity rather than what feels right in the moment.
