Heroes for God have: Courage, Strength, Wisdom, and they are Self-less
Heroes for God have: Courage, Strength, Wisdom, and they are Self-less
Tonight we are going to talk about how you become a hero for God in the first place. In other words how do you become a Christian? We have been talking what all week long? In order to have courage we need what? Faith. Strength? Faith. Wisdom? Faith. Self-lessness? Faith.
Well in order to become a hero in the first place guess what you need? FAITH
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Who can tell me what it means to have faith?
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Faith is the confidence in things that we hope for, and the assurance of things we do not see.
Illustration: Blindfold trust fall exercise- complete trust in me to catch them.
Kids faith, trust, confidence, assurance is at the heart of genuine salvation.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
We are saved when we put our faith in Jesus Christ to save us from our sins. The bible teaches us that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, shed his blood on a cross to pay the penalty for your sins. Jesus died for you, he was buried in a tomb for three days, and then he rose again from the dead. Kids you get saved when you put your faith in Jesus alone to save you from your sins.
A lot of kids are trusting in the fact that their mom and dad’s are Christians. Or because they grew up in a Christian home, or they go to church, or they go to SS, or they read their bible, or because they prayed a prayer. You can’t put your faith in any of that stuff to save you. You must put your faith in Jesus to save you. You must trust in Jesus, that he shed his blood for your sins, and that after three days he rose again from the dead. You must trust that He alone can save you. You must trust him so much, that you ask Him to save you. Ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins, and believe in your heart that He can save you.
If you want to be a hero for God, if you want to be a Christian, kids you must have faith.
