What Does God Say About Us? – Week 4: God Says We Are…PT. 4

Hey youngins! Glad to see you all back and welcome to our final discussion on “What God says about us.”

Let’s get started shall we!

–>God says we are A NEW CREATION.

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].” -2 Corinthians 5:17

–>God’s presence in your life causes such a change, that everything that was not of Him falls away and is no more. He then fills those spaces with His holy presence, making you a new creature in the spirit; a walking testimony of His grace and glory!

–>God says we are IMPORTANT.

“But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, A CONSECRATED NATION, A [special] PEOPLE FOR GOD’S OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies [the wonderful deeds and virtues and perfections] of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” -1 Peter 2:9

–>God has set us apart with an intended purpose. Remember, we are a walking testimony. Therefore, our lives are a representation of His greatness and majesty. We are EVIDENCE of His works! 

–>God says we are ACCEPTED.

“Therefore, [continue to] accept and welcome one another, just as Christ has accepted and welcomed us to the glory of [our great] God.” -Romans 15:7

–>God has granted you His stamp of approval! Consider yourself like Visa, ACCEPTED EVERYWHERE!

–>God says we are PRECIOUS.

“Because you are precious in My sight, You are honored and I love you, I will give other men in return for you and other peoples in exchange for your life.” -Isaiah 43:4

–>God’s love for you is so great, He has deemed you as precious before His sight; being important, rare, and of high value. To God, you are an irreplaceable gem!

So, always remember, YOU ARE A NEW CREATION; IMPORTANT, ACCEPTED & PRECIOUS IN THE EYES OF THE LORD!

Interactive Activity: Each child gets assigned one of the scriptures above and is responsible for completing a coloring sheet of that scripture. These sheets will then be collected and added into the child’s individual “Scripture Binder,” which will be held for them for safe keeping until the end of the year. (They will be able to take the contents of their binders home at the end of the year so they can reflect on all they’ve learned during said time.)
