The Bible says there will be a street of gold in heaven.Revelation 21:21 says, “The 12 gates were made from 12 pearls. Each gate was made out of a single pearl. The main street of the city was made out of gold. It was gold as pure as glass that people can see through clearly.” The street of gold will be in the New Jerusalem.Having a street of gold

The Bible tells us the big picture of how God created the world, but not every detail.Genesis 1 and 2 tell us God created the world and the main areas of creation. These include the planets, light, the sky, seas, mountains, the sun, moon, and stars, plants, animals, and people. By just saying the words, God made it appear. God is the only one power

No one knows when the world will end except God. The world will end after evil is defeated and God creates a new heaven and earth.Jesus was very clear that no one knows when the world will end. He said, "But no one knows about that day or hour. Not even the angels in heaven know. The Son does not know. Only the Father knows" (Matthew 24:36). We don

Job went through a lot of hard things, but God was with him."Then the LORD said to Satan, 'Have you thought about my servant Job? There isn’t anyone on earth like him. He is honest. He does what is right. He has respect for me and avoids evil'" (Job 1:8).Job was a man in Bible times who followed God. God was very proud of Him. But Satan didn’t like

Do you like secrets? Well, God has a secret, and He has told us what it is in the Bible!Jesus said, "Look! I am coming soon" (Revelation 22:12). "But no one knows about that day or hour. Not even the angels in heaven know. The Son does not know. Only the Father knows" (Matthew 24:36). "So you also must be ready. The Son of Man will come at an hour

Sometimes God's Word gives us examples of things we know about to help describe something God wants us to understand. We know what marriage is, so in the Bible God uses that as an example to help us understand our relationship with Him.A husband and wife love each other very much, and God loves us even more than that! When a man and woman are engag

Christian apologetics is the science of standing up for the Christian faith to those who don’t believe.Christian apologetics stand up against the lies of the world. There are a lot of people who believe God doesn’t exist, Jesus isn’t God, and the Bible isn’t true. Christian apologetics’ mission is to break down the critics' arguments by presenting

When Jesus said, "I AM," He was telling people that He is God.Jesus said this about Himself when He was talking to some religious leaders called Pharisees. Jesus told the Pharisees that He had seen Abraham hundreds of years before, and they wondered how this could be possible. "'What I’m about to tell you is true,' Jesus answered. 'Before Abraham w

People in the Bible didn't have last names like the last names we have in the present day. In the present day, almost everyone has a last name. Back during Jesus' time, people didn't really have a last name. You could have something behind your name, such as where you were from or your trade. However, you wouldn't have a last name, like Brown, Smit

God offers to forgive you from your sin.When we wrong someone, we ask him or her for forgiveness as a way to make things right. We don’t always deserve to be forgiven, but that’s what makes forgiveness so amazing. It is an act of love. The Bible says that we need God to forgive us. We have all sinned against Him, meaning we have done things that Go

The woman at the well was a Samaritan woman. Jesus taught us to treat all people kindly and loving.The Jews hated the Samaritans and believed it was “unclean” to even drink after a Samaritan. The Samaritan woman at the well was confused that Jesus was being so kind to her as she thought he was just another Jew who hated her. But Jesus didn’t hate h

Some of the gifts of the Holy Spirit are serving, teaching, encouraging, giving, mercy, and faith.The gifts of the Holy Spirit are special talents or abilities the Spirit gives us to bless others and point them to Jesus. There are three lists in the Bible of the gifts of the Spirit, also known as spiritual gifts. The three main passages describing

God wants you to praise Him about the wonderful way He created you.Suppose you are drawing a picture of children playing outside. You don’t draw all the children to look exactly the same! You draw some girls and some boys. You draw some with straight, blonde hair, and some with curly, black hair. You draw some tall and some short. You would be surp

God made other languages because people were disobeying Him.When God first made people, everyone spoke the same language. No one had any trouble understanding one another (Genesis 11:1). God commanded the people to "Have children and increase your numbers. Fill the earth" (Genesis 9:1).Sadly, though, people later decided they should stay in one pla

The Holy Spirit is always with a true Christian believer.When you first place your faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit (God) Himself comes to live inside your spirit, even though you can’t see or feel Him. The Holy Spirit is there to help you know God better, so that you can start thinking in God’s ways and have a heart that wants to make decisions tha

The soldiers didn’t love God. They treated Jesus like a criminal.Matthew 27:27-31 says, "The governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the palace, which was called the Praetorium. All the rest of the soldiers gathered around him. They took off his clothes and put a purple robe on him. Then they twisted thorns together to make a crown. They placed it on h

Jesus was willingly crucified to pay the price for our sins so that we can be God’s children forever.Before God sent Jesus to Earth, people sinned, just like they do today. God says that sin leads to death and separates us from Him. A system of sacrifice was instituted with the idea that if an animal like a lamb was killed, it’s death was a substit

God lets people make their own choices about believing in Him.The Bible teaches us that God created everything. In Genesis 1:1 it says, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." God has shown He exists through creation, through the way He works in people’s hearts, and through His Word, the Bible. But many people still wonder if He’

Three different men put the chapters and verses in the Bible to make the Bible easier to read.Forty different people wrote the Bible over the course of 1500 years. God told each writer what to say so it’s all true and it all fits together. When the Bible was first written, there weren’t any chapters or verses. But the Bible is a very big book, so w

The death of a Christian takes a loved one to a much better place.When we lose a loved one like a grandpa or grandma, it can be very sad for us. However, the person who has died is in a much better place. When the apostle Paul talked about dying, he wrote, "I long to leave this world and be with Christ. That is better by far" (Philippians 1:23). Th
