The Bible Says

Eight Fun Lessons in the Bible
by Stafford and Jo Anne North

Lesson 8

Hurrah! Congratulations ! You’ve done it ! You can now tell the story of the Bible by drawing 10 pictures.

What are you going to do about all you’ve learned in the last 7 lessons? First, I hope you’ll think about what it can mean for your own life. Do you want to have the closest possible friendship with God? Is there sin between you and God? Have you done what the Bible tells you--to choose Jesus so that the terrible wall of sin can be torn down?
On the next two pages you will draw the 10 pictures and fill in the blanks about what the pictures mean. Circle ‘yes’ or ‘no’ by the sentence about how you feel about each part of the story of the Bible. Look over this review of "The Story of the Bible in 10 Pictures" before you start.

My friend, I asked you at the beginning of this lesson to think about what you will do about what you have learned. You have just thought about what it can mean for your own life. Good for you! If you need help doing any of these things, ask your friend.

Now, I want you to think about sharing what you have learned with someone else. This might be your sister, your brother, your father, your mother, your cousin, or your friend. Anyone you love and want to know the good news of God.
Love is the real key to this entire Bible story.

God loves us and is so sorry to see us separated from Him by sin that He sent His only son to pay the penalty for our sins.

We love Him for making this sacrifice so we accept Jesus and His way.

So, because God loves us, we want to love others and share the story of God’s love with them.
