GREEN PAGE
(Stress spiritual growth on
this page.)
The color green reminds me of
things which are growing, like leaves, grass, flowers and trees. This
page reminds me of the new life, the everlasting life, you have
received from God. When you believe on the Lord Jesus as your Savior
from sin, you are like a newborn baby in God's family. God wants you
to grow in a special way. The Bible tells you to "grow in ..
.the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Pet.
3:18).
As you learn more about Jesus
from the Bible you will learn how to keep from sinning (Ps. 119:11).
Ask Him each day to help you obey Him. When you do sin, tell God you
have sinned. He will forgive you right away. The Bible says, "If
we confess our sin, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 Jn. 1:9). Ask Him to
help you not to do that wrong thing again. (Lead the child in
thanking God for His promise to help.)
(As time permits, talk with
the child about those things which will help him grow as a member of
God's family. Explain you are not talking about growing taller or
gaining weight, but learning to love and please the Lord Jesus more.)
1. Talk to God--pray(l Thess.
5:17).
2. Listen to God--learn God's
Word by reading and memorizing it (Ps. 119:11)
3. Talk for God--witness or
tell others-- about Him (Mk. 16:15).
4.Worship God--go to Sunday
school and church (Heb. 10:25).
Before the child leaves,
1. Give him a tract or
correspondence course.
2. Have him say a thank-you
prayer for what the Lord Jesus Christ has done for him.
3. Pray for him.
4. Request his name and
address for follow-up.
'Note. When doing open-air
evangelism use discretion in asking for the child's name and address
since he may have been instructed not to give this information to strangers.
