Bible Story:
2 Samuel 12:1-31David was a man whose heart was wholly given to the Lord. As a boy, he followed God and believed in God to help him slay the giant, Goliath. Even though David was known for his love for God, as king, even he fell to sin. He became prideful in all that he had accomplished and all that God had given him and he sinned. His sin was pride and his pride caused him to rebel against God’s law. His rebellion did not last though. He repented of his sin and turned his heart to God again.
Story:
Fall
Everything was perfect in the world until we broke it. When humanity chose to sin, the world that was once perfect became messed up and broken. Sin is ultimately a rejection of God Himself. Because of sin bad things happen, we experience all types of pain, and death has come into the world. All of creation groans and wishes that the world be perfect and good like it was before.
Every child should know that:
- All people are broken in our sin and we suffer consequences because of sin.
Every child should:
- Understand sin as disobedience against God and His plan.
Every child should feel:
- Burdened by the reality of their sin.
Every child should want:
- To repent of their disobedience against God.
