This GOLD bead reminds us of Heaven. The Bible tells us Heaven has a street of gold! But the best part about Heaven is that God, who created you and me, lives there.
The Bible, God’s Word, says:
“God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” — John 3:16
Jesus, God the Son, is in Heaven preparing a place for all who put their trust in Him. (John 14:2-3)
God is holy and perfect. He cannot allow anything in Heaven that is less than perfect, so there’s one thing that can never be in Heaven. Can you think of what that might be?
It is sin! That is what this DARK bead reminds us of. Sin is anything you think, say, or do that does not please God, like lying, cheating, being selfish, or hurting others.
The Bible says:
“All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” — Romans 3:23
That means everyone, big or little, young or old! No matter where you live or who you are, you have sinned. Everyone is born with a “want to” to do wrong. God says that sin must be punished (Romans 6:23), and the punishment for sin is to be separated from God forever in a place of suffering….a place called Hell.
But God has a wonderful plan so that you will not have to be punished for your sin!
God sent Jesus Christ, His perfect Son, to be born as a little baby. Jesus lived a perfect life….He never sinned. When He was grown, wicked men nailed Him to a cross.
This bead is RED reminding us of Jesus’ blood. The Bible says that without the giving of blood there can be no forgiveness of sin (Hebrews 9:22). So Jesus Christ willingly died to take your sin punishment.
“…Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day, according to the Scriptures.”— 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
Now, because of what Jesus has done for you, you can have your sins forgiven. Read on to see how!
The Bible says: “As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believed on His name.” — John 1:12
The WHITE bead reminds us of a CLEAN heart.
How can you have a clean heart?
A = Admit to God you are a sinner and want to turn away from those sins.
B = Believe in Jesus Christ, that He is God’s perfect Son who died for your sin,
was buried, and rose again.C = Call on Him to save you from your sin.
Would you like to do that right now? He has promised to hear, and once you are His child, He will never leave you (Hebrews 13:5). Take a moment and talk to God right now. It will change your life forever.
Only one more color! What can it mean?
GREEN stands for things that grow. When you ask God to forgive you and save you, you become His child. God wants you to get to know Him better and to grow to become more like Him.
These four things will help you grow:
- PRAY (talk to God every day)
- READ & OBEY THE BIBLE (to know what He says, then do it)
- TELL OTHERS ABOUT JESUS
- GO TO A BIBLE-BELIEVING CHURCH – (where you can learn more about pleasing Him)
As a child of God, if you should sin again, stop and tell Him about it. He promises in His Word…
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” — 1 John 1:9
