Eternal life
John 3:3 I tell you
the truth, no one can see the
What does eternal mean to you? Living forever in heaven is
eternal life. Jesus said there is a place for you in heaven if you know Him.
Forever is a VERY long time. How do we get eternal life … what kind of “work”
do we have to do?
Discussion with questions from the kids.

What is iniquity?
Iniquity = wrongdoing
- i.e. all of sudden turning your friends against someone who IS your friend
just because that person did something you didn’t like or it made you mad.
We have ALL sinned.
Part of having eternal life is knowing that Jesus is constantly by our side and
we can always confess our sin (iniquity). He said he would do that even if we
are repeat offenders. Maybe we have something we can’t stop doing or saying
right now. BUT He will forgive you each and every time you come to Him and
confess. We may try to do our best to “never sin again” but nobody can live up
to that …. nobody! It’s impossible because we are human and we have all sinned
(Romans 3:23) and will continue to do so (not an excuse). Jesus is the only
pure one.
Even though we
confess our sins, we may still have to pay consequences. He doesn’t always bail
us out but he always forgives. Once we confess our sins, they are forever
forgotten. He erases it from our record and He will NEVER make us feel guilty
about what we have done. That comes straight from Satan.
We cannot hide
anything from Jesus so you might as well be straight with Him. He already knows
our sin. He wants us to come to Him for forgiveness. Not everyone can forgive a
person just because they asked for forgiveness … but Jesus does.
This is all part of
asking Jesus to be Lord and Savior of your life.
