JJ and the Gift

JJ was a kid who was just like you He liked to go fishing  and play soccer too. But JJ worried night after night If he’d make it to heaven at the end of his life. One Sunday at church an old couple stopped Little books about Jesus is what they had brought. JJ got one of their books for free Then later at home he started to read: God is perfect, but our sin has a price So God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ Jesus died for our sins and rose from the grave Trust Him with your heart and you will be saved. JJ believed in God’s wonderful gift So he bowed his head and prayed something like this: “Dear God, I’m a sinner, but I’m trusting Your way In Jesus’ name please come save me today.” Now he was happy, now he was sure God’s promise of heaven for him was secure! JJ was a kid who was just like you And the Jesus he trusts can be your Savior too. The Message from the Bible: “I the LORD your God am holy” (Leviticus 19:2) “The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23) “Christ died for our sins . . . He was buried . . . He was raised on the third day” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9) “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13)
