This Bible story tells us about our wonderful God whomade us and who wants us to know Him.

God knows we have done bad things, which He calls sin.The punishment for sin is death, but God loves us so

much He sent HisSon, Jesus, to die on a Cross and be

punished for our sins. Then Jesus came back to life andwent home to Heaven! If you believe in Jesus and askHim to forgive your sins, He will do it! He will come and

live in you now,and you will live with Him forever.If you want to turn from your sins, say this to God:

Dear God, I believe that Jesus died forme and

now lives again. Please come into my life andforgive my sins, so that I can have new life now,and one day goto be with You forever. Help me

to live for You as Your child. Amen.

Read the Bible and talk with God every day! John 3:16
