Satan wanted to make Jesus sin, but Jesus didn't sin.Satan knew that if he could make Jesus do something wrong and sin, then Jesus couldn't be our Savior. In order to pay the price for our sins and take our place by dying for our sins, Jesus Himself could never sin. Satan tempted Jesus, or tried to make Him do things He was not supposed to do. Even

Paul was an apostle of Jesus who did many things for God’s Church."Paul went into the synagogue as he usually did. For three Sabbath days in a row he talked about the Scriptures with the Jews. He explained and proved that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. 'This Jesus I am telling you about is the Christ!' he said" (Acts 17:2–3).Paul

Jesus is God's Son who died for sin, came back to life, and is the only way to heaven.Jesus is God the Son. Like God the Father, Jesus has always existed. About 2,000 years ago, God sent His Son from heaven to earth as a man. Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Like other children, Jesus learned to talk and read and help His parents. But Jesus was differe

We need a Savior because we have all sinned against God.The Bible is clear that we are all sinners (Romans 3:23). We have all done bad things. We cannot save ourselves and we cannot "earn" our way into Heaven. Even our best "good deeds" are only seen as dirty rags (Isaiah 64:6). God requires absolute perfection. God is holy. This means that He can’

Jesus probably spoke in a language called Aramaic, but He may also have spoken some Greek and Hebrew too.Although they don’t know for sure, people who study history believe that Aramaic was the language most people spoke in Israel during Bible times. Jesus was born and lived in Israel for most of His life, so that’s probably what He spoke too. But

Jesus really told a storm to calm down.After a long day of ministering, Jesus was tired. In order to get some rest from the crowds, Jesus and the disciples traveled over to the other side (Mark 4:35-36). While they were traveling, a huge storm broke out. The disciples were terrified. Are you scared of storms? The disciples were very scared!While th

God created the Garden of Eden for Adam and Eve. They were to live in this place and care for it.The Garden of Eden was a beautiful garden. The word Eden means delight—the garden was perfect and God was there. It is difficult to imagine that such a place could even exist, but the Bible tells us it was so (Genesis 2:8-22). When Adam and Eve disobeye

Jesus has always existed.Jesus is one Person of the Trinity, along with the Father and the Holy Spirit. God is one God who exists in three Persons. Each Person of the Trinity has a different job, but they are all united as one God. (If you want to read more about that, click here.)When Jesus was on earth, He said, "I and the Father are one" (John 1

A Gentile is anyone who isn't a Jew.During Bible times, God's chosen people was Israel. They were known as Jews. Anyone who wasn't a Jew was a Gentile. It didn't depend on the color of your skin, eye color, or hair color. If a person wasn't a Jew, you were known as a Gentile no matter what country you came from.The Jews didn't like the Gentiles. Th

To meditate on the Bible means to think about God’s truths, remember them, and apply them to your life. Meditating on the Bible is very important. Meditation requires you to stop and think about what you have learned from the Bible. Just like when you eat your food, you chew it. Similarly, when you read the Bible, you should think about what you ha

Jesus is alive! He rose from the dead.The story of Jesus’ death and burial has a very happy ending! The Bible tells us that three days after Jesus was put into the tomb, He walked out alive. He rose from the dead! Some angels came and rolled the stone away so Jesus’ followers could see He was no longer dead.Why did Jesus raise from the dead? If Jes

Because we are each sinners, we can't get to heaven by trying to be good and nice.You may say, "I'm a good person. I never did anything really bad, and I try to make right choices. Won't God let me into heaven?" But the Bible says, "All of us have become like someone who is 'unclean.' All of the good things we do are like polluted rags to you" (Is

Deborah was a judge of Israel. She was also a prophetess.Deborah is a unique woman in the Bible. She was a judge who led Israel and also a prophetess. God spoke to Deborah under a tree called “the Palm of Deborah” in Ephraim. This is where she would hold court and God would speak with her. Through God, Deborah was able to set her people free and de

Yes, God will save His people from the evil of the end times.The Bible doesn't use the word "rapture." That's the word we give to the events that the Bible says will happen before the world ends. The Rapture is when God will take all of the people who have trusted in Jesus as their Savior to be with Him in heaven. Most Christians believe God will d

God tells us in the Bible that He is the one and only God.Many people believe in different gods. These false gods aren't the true God. God is the one who created all things and rules over all things. He has all power and is perfectly good. No one else is like Him. The one true God tells about Himself in the Bible.God is three Persons: the Father, t

Jesus rose up to heaven and is ruling with God the Father.After dying on the cross for sin and coming back to life three days later, Jesus spent 40 days teaching His followers and showing them He was really alive. After 40 days, Jesus took His followers to a mountain. Then something amazing happened to Jesus as they were standing on the mountain:

A prophet is one who takes God’s Word and tells it to other people.In the Old Testament, a prophet took the words God gave him and preached them to Israel. Not all prophets were good prophets; some prophets gave false prophecies. The way to tell the difference is that a true prophet will always speak God’s truth and they will never say something th

God can tell us what to do because He is God. He created us and knows what is best for us.The commands in the Bible teach us how to think, how to treat people, and how to honor God.God’s commands in the Bible show us what is right and how to please Him. God, as our Creator, has given us the instructions on how to live a righteous life. For example,

The Book of Life is the set of names of those who will live with God forever.We learn about the Book of Life in Revelation 20:15: "Anyone whose name was not written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire."The Book of Life, sometimes called the Lamb’s Book off Life, contains the names of those people who are believers of Jesus and have

Jesus is telling us get rid of the sin that is in our lives.Jesus didn't actually mean that we should hurt our bodies. He meant that we should get rid of anything in our lives that's causing us to sin. He wants us to remember that He is the most important part of our lives. Anything that makes us sin and forget about Him is something we must destro
