Basic Truths For Children of All Ages

Children have consciences which can be taught to respond to God. We must be faithful to communicate spiritual truths to children because God has commanded us to do so (Dt. 6). Below are some of the spiritual truths juniors should understand. For more information see Salvation for Children and Conscience Development in the Family Tips and Tools book.

Threads and Themes

HOLY BIBLE: The Bible is God's Word to us about Himself; His Son, Jesus; the Holy Spirit; and His plan for man. It should be handled respectfully (John 1:1-14; Matthew 1; 2 Peter 1:2-11).

GOD: God is one God in three Persons: the Father, Son and Holy Ghost (Spirit). God is holy, immutable, just, loving, merciful, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient and sovereign: a partial list of characteristics. God and His Word will stand forever (Genesis 1; John 1; Isaiah 40:8; Revelation 22).

GOD CREATED: God created all things, including each person (Genesis 1; Romans 1:18-25).

GOD IS RIGHTEOUS: God is perfect and cannot allow sin in His presence (Matthew 5:48).

GOD LOVES EVERYONE: God loves each person and wants each person to be in His presence and care (Genesis 1:26-30; John 3:16; John 15).

SIN SEPARATES: The first people, Adam and Eve, sinned, which separated them and everyone else from the presence and fellowship of God eternally (Genesis 3; Romans 3:23).

SIN DEMANDS PAYMENT: Sin's penalty must be paid before a person can enter God's presence (Romans 6:23).

JESUS PAID SIN'S PRICE: God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to pay the price for sin for each individual by dying once as the only perfect sacrifice (Hebrews 9:11-14; 1 Peter 1:18-19, 3:18).

INDIVIDUALS ACCEPT JESUS' PAYMENT: God, through His Word and the work and power of the Holy Spirit, draws individuals to Himself who must, by faith and repentance, accept Jesus' free gift of salvation (John 1:12, 3:3-7; 5:24; Ephesians 1:7; 2; Acts 3:19; 17:30; 26:20; Romans 10:9-10).

JESUS IS IN HEAVEN: Jesus is in heaven today preparing a place for each person who repents and accepts the free gift of salvation by faith (John 14:2-3; Romans 10:9-10; Titus 3:5-7).
