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:
- Our sin is a rejection of God’s plans and purposes.
Every child should:
- Repent of their rejection of God.
Every child should feel:
- Sorrowful over their tendency to elevate their plans over God’s plans.
Every child should want:
- To faithfully follow God’s plan and purposes for their lives.
