Some Day I Shall Hug A Lion!

 

Someday I shall hug a lion! Would you like to be able to do this too? There is

a place where boys and girls can hug fearful lions and other animals without

being hurt. This place is HEAVEN. The Bible (God's Word) says there will be no

tears, hunger, pain, crying, sorrow, death or darkness. Wouldn't you like to

go to such a wonderful place someday?

Heaven is a perfect place; no sin can enter. Each of us has lied, taken

something that belonged to others or cheated on tests at school. God says this

is SIN, and sin must be punished by death. "For all have sinned" and "the

wages of sin is death." (Romans 3:23; 6:23)

Don't be sad, I have GOOD NEWS for you !

"For God so loved the world (you and me), that He gave His only begotten Son

(the Lord Jesus), that whosoever (put your name) _________________ believeth

in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life (life in heaven forever)."

(John 3:16)

Although God hates our sins, He loves us very much and wants to save us from

our sins. God gave His Son, (the Lord Jesus) to DIE on the cross to pay for

everything we have done wrong. The Lord Jesus died to take your punishment and

mine like our sister or brother might take whippings that we deserve so that

we would not have to be punished.

God will forgive your sins and give you everlasting life as a FREE GIFT, IF

YOU BELIEVE JESUS DIED FOR YOUR SINS AND RECEIVE HIM AS YOUR VERY OWN SAVIOUR.

"But as many as received Him (the Lord Jesus), to them gave He the power to

become the sons of God." (John 1:12)

You cannot have God's gift of everlasting life by being good because you can

never be good enough. Do you remember your last birthday? Did you pay for your

gift? Of course not! Real gifts are free. "For by grace are ye saved through

faith (believe Jesus died for you), and that not of yourselves; it is the GIFT

of God." (Ephesians 2:8)

God wants to GIVE you everlasting life. How pleased God will be to see you in

heaven! Will you say to God silently "Dear Lord Jesus, I know I have done

wrong, but I believe you died for my sins; and I receive you as my own

Saviour." Then, you too can KNOW you will go to Heaven. "These things have I

written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God (the Lord Jesus

Christ), that ye may KNOW ye have eternal life." (I John 5:13)

Are you sure that you will go to Heaven? If you are, I want you to keep on

reading. Suppose you sin after you receive the Lord Jesus, will you ever lose

your everlasting life? No! Why? Because Jesus died for all your sins and

everlasting life is forever and ever.

I want you to remember whenever you have done something wrong, to tell the

Lord Jesus about it, and He will forgive you. You are His child now and He

will take care of you. He wants you to pray (talk to Him), to read the Bible,

and to tell others about His good news.
