\"saved\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Many times we assume that our children understand how to lead others to the Lord. Here are four basic points for us to remember when leading others to salvation.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. God loves you and has a plan for you!<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Bible says, \u201cGod so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, [Jesus Christ], that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life\u201d (John 3:16).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus said, \u201cI came that they may have life and have it abundantly\u201d \u2014 a complete life full of purpose (John 10:10).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the problem:<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

2. Man is sinful and separated from God.<\/span><\/h2>\n

We have all done, thought or said bad things, which the Bible calls \u201csin.\u201d The Bible says, \u201cAll have sinned and fall short of the glory of God\u201d (Romans 3:23).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The result of sin is death, spiritual separation from God (Romans 6:23).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The good news?<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

3. God sent His Son to die for your sins!<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Jesus died in our place so we could live with Him in eternity.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us\u201d (Romans 5:8).<\/p>\n

But it didn\u2019t end with His death on the cross. He rose again and still lives!<\/p>\n

\u201cChrist died for our sins. \u2026 He was buried. \u2026 He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures.\u201d (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).<\/p>\n

Jesus is the only way to God.<\/p>\n

Jesus said, \u201cI am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me\u201d (John 14:6).<\/p>\n

4. Would you like to receive God\u2019s forgiveness?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

We can\u2019t earn salvation; we are saved by God\u2019s grace when we have faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. All you have to do is believe you are a sinner, that Christ died for your sins, and ask His forgiveness. He knows you and loves you. What matters to Him is the attitude of your heart, your honesty.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
