Story:
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:
- God is making all things new.
Every child should:
- Thank God for fixing what sin has broken and making a new creation.
Every child should feel:
- Wonder at how God takes the brokenness of creation and makes it new.
Every child should want:
- To see creation be made new by God.
