Day 1 – Read John 3:16God loves you so much that He does not want you to get hurt. Sin hurts and it keeps us from God forever. God became our Savior when He died on the cross for our sins and rose again three days later. He took the punishment that we deserved so that we would be with Him forever.

Day 2 – Read John 3:16

Write it down.
Memorize this verse for today.

Day 3Jesus’ death saves you from taking the punishment for your sin. Because Jesus rose again, you can conquer sin and have a relationship with Him forever.

How does your sin hurt you?

Do you believe that Jesus died on the cross for you?

Do you believe that the way He lived His life can help you?

I PROMISE YOU…

The story of Jesus saving you from your sin is called the Gospel. What the Gospel says and does is the most important promise God gives you. Here is an easy way to remember what the word “Gospel” means: Gods Only Son Provides Eternal Life.

Day 4If you believe in Jesus, your sin is forgiven. Because you are human, you still will sin. It’s part of your nature. The great thing is that Jesus’ death saves you from that sin, and the way He lived His life can show you how to do things without sinning. Sin is harmful, and Jesus showed us how to avoid sin. Today, read Matthew 4:1-11. Jesus came face to face with Satan, and He didn’t sin. What can you learn from Jesus here?

Day 5Ask your parents or someone at church if they believe in Jesus as their Savior. Ask them why they believe it and what it means for their life. If you don’t know anyone you could write your counselor from this summer and ask her/him.
