What a joy it is to sit with our children and share the plan of salvation with them. My husband is especially tender toward the need of people to accept their Savior. At breakfast this morning, after reading some Scripture and a passage from Our Daily Bread, he gently led the discussion toward salvation, since we have a few little ones who haven't yet received Jesus as their personal savior.
I was able to get my Wordless Bracelet out of my jewelry box, and we all talked about each color. I could have hugged my older kids, who excitedly helped explain the colors and told their own personal testimonies.
In our eagerness to impart truth to our children and others, may we never forget to share the wonder and joy of a God who loved us so much that He sent His only Son to pay for our sins!
Hugs,
~Anne
P.S. Please be in prayer for my 6-year-old daughter, that her heart will be tender and she will soon accept her Savior!

Where does Jesus tell us 'you need to accept me and pray a prayer to be saved' ? He says those who lose their life will find it, those who deny themselves and take up their cross and follow him are the ones who will be saved, and those who keep his commandments are the ones who love him. You can't be saved outside of obedience to Christ. Look at Jesus and what he taught about salvation. Real true saving faith is a change in life, and obedience to Christ and it's something other than what most churches are teaching.
