Why do you think God gave us the Ten Commandments?

Gospel 1

Page 15: Opening

Gospel 2

As a way to get to Heaven.

As a mirror to look at.

Page 16: Opening

As a way to get to Heaven.

Gospel 3

As a mirror to look at.

If you chose “A” you’re wrong.

Page 17: Opening

Gospel 4

As a mirror to look at.

Page 18: Opening

Gospel 5

In the same way, we don't realize what a bad state we are in

until we look into the "mirror" of the Ten Commandments.

Page 19: Opening

Gospel 6

Do you remember what #9 is?What is it?Have you ever lied?

What about #5?Have you always obeyed your parents?

What about #6?Have you ever hated someone?

Have you always loved God?

Have you ever stolen anything?

Have you been greedy?

Gospel 7

Can you see the Ten Commandments are like the mirror -- they show us how bad we are, and how we need to be clean before the Day of Judgment.

That is the Day God will punish people who have broken the Ten Commandments.

They will be sent to a place called "Hell," a place where God doesn't want people to go.

Page 21: Opening

Gospel 8

God doesn't want you to be punished.

He loves you so much that He made a way for you to be clean before Judgment Day.

Page 22: Opening

Gospel 9

To show you what a wonderful thing God did, listen to this story.

A man had a son who was really bad.

He did many bad things, including lying and stealing,

Page 23: Opening

Gospel 10

and found himself in trouble with the police.

They said he had to pay a $50,000 fine or

go to prison.

The son didn't have any money, and was about to go to prison.

Page 24: Opening

Gospel 11

Then his dad stepped in and used his life savings to pay his son's fine.

That meant that he didn't have to go to prison.

It showed how much he loved his son.

Page 25: Opening

Gospel 12

We are like that son. But God came down to earth and paid our fine by dying on the Cross. Jesus took our punishment on Himself. Then He rose from the dead. That means that we don't have to be punished by God.

We can live with Him forever!It also shows us how much God loves us.

Page 26: Opening

Gospel 13

What should you do?

Ask God to forgive you for the Commandments you've broken (called "sin"), and then give your life to Jesus.

Read Psalm 51 and make it your own prayer. When you do that, you will have God's promise that you are forgiven and will live forever.

Then read your Bible every day (it's full of incredible stories -- start with the Gospel of John), and obey what you read. God will never leave you.
