The Plan of Salvation
Gold (Yellow): Gold reminds us of gold and things that are very valuable and special. It also reminds us of a place called Heaven. Heaven is a perfect place where no one is every sick, no one ever dies and everyone is happy. John 3:16 says that God so loved the world that He gave his only Son. That means that God loved you and I so much that He wants us to go to Heaven. There is one thing that can never be in heaven – sin.
Black: Black reminds us of sin. Sin is anything that we think, say or do which does not please God. Romans 3:23 tells us that “all have sinned.” The punishment for sin is to be separated from God. You cannot be good enough to forgive your own sins, but God has a wonderful plan so you and I don’t have to be punished for our sins.
Red: Red reminds us of the blood of Jesus who came to save us from our sins. Remember that God loved us so much that He sent his only Son. Jesus was perfect and He died for your sins and for my sins. Hebrews 9:22 tells us that without giving of blood, there cannot be forgiveness of sins. Jesus was crucified and died on the cross and after three days He came back from the dead. Jesus even overcame death. Then Jesus went back to Heaven and He is there right now with God, his Father. When you ask Jesus for forgiveness for your sins, you have a new life.
White: White reminds of the cleanness of our life when we are Christians. If you have not asked Jesus to be your Savior and to forgive you of your sins, you can do that right now. I John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” When you are a Christian, you can believe that Jesus will not leave you, but will help you do what is right.
Green: Green reminds us of growth. It is important that you keep learning about Jesus and growing in your Christian life. God wants you to grown in your understanding of His Word. It is important that you read the Bible and pray. It is also important that you tell others about Jesus and His wonderful plan for their lives. When you live your life as Jesus wants you to do, you will live in Heaven with Him forever when you die. 2 Peter 3:18 tell us, “Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
