JESUS IS THE LORD OF LIFE

Book of Romans
Romans 110
Pauls letter to the Roman church gives a clear picture of how people can
find God.

JUST FOR FUN

Read Romans 3:2127. Then, using whatever medium you desire, create a
visual timeline of your spiritual journey. Include the various people, places, and
events God used to bring you into relationship with Him. Encourage your children
to do the same.

REMEMBER VERSE
But these were written that you may believe that
Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God,
and that by believing you may have life in his name.
John 20:31

Summer
Lesson 10

DID YOU KNOW?

Paul wrote the book of Romans from the city of Corinth during his third
missionary journey.
The book of Romans answers the question of why we need Jesus and gives us
direction on how to find Him.
We have all sinned, and our sin separates us from God.
Jesus death and resurrection provide us with a way to be reunited with God.

YOUNGER KIDS
Your child is beginning to reason logically and make right choices. Provide him
with some right choice and wrong choice scenarios, and discuss ways he can
rely on God to show him the correct path to take.

OLDER KIDS
Your child is capable of complex thought processes. She is able to weigh
consequences and foresee possible outcomes of the choices she makes.
Discuss with your child the role of faith in the decision-making process and how
Gods path may be different from the worlds.

TEACHABLE MOMENTS
After reading the Scripture passage, discuss the following together:
Why did Jesus die on the cross?
What must we do to be reunited with God?
Have you made the decision to put your faith in Jesus?

BLESSING
A blessing can be a spoken prayer of commission, a portion of Scripture, or
words of encouragement and guidance over your child. For more information
about blessing your child, see the Blessing section in HomeFront: A Spiritual
Parenting Resource @ HomeFrontMag.com
A blessing to pray over your child:
(Childs name), May you know that Jesus is the Lord of life. May you
remember that God offers you salvation through Jesus.
