Ask the Questions
Bigs Discussion Questions
Who wrote a letter to Jesus’ followers in Rome and told them the good news? (Paul)
What is the good news about Jesus called? (the gospel) 3. What is the good news? (God loves us and sent Jesus to save us.)
Who sinned first and brought sin and death into the world? (Adam)

Elementary Discussion Questions
How is a person justified—given a right relationship with God? (by faith in Jesus’ sacrifice, Romans 5:1, 9)
Through whom did sin enter the world? (Adam, Romans 5:12)
Through whom does righteousness and justification come? (Jesus, Romans 5:18-19)
Does it feel fair or unfair that Adam’s sin led to sin for all of us?
Guide kids to see that all of us have sin. We aren’t guilty simply because of Adam’s sin, but also because of our own sins. Help them see this truth through the lens of Christ’s sacrifice making righteousness available to all despite our sin.
Does it feel fair or unfair that Jesus’ righteousness leads to righteousness for all who have faith? Help kids see that this, too, is a picture of God’s perfect justice. He showed us mercy when Christ became our perfect substitute. Help the kids wrestle with the difference between human ideas about justice and fairness in contrast to God’s perfect justice and mercy.
If God forgives all our sin when we have faith in Jesus, why is it necessary to live like Jesus? Guide kids to remember that God’s plan for our lives is better for us than our own plans. Obeying God is good for us, because He knows what we need before we need it. Help them see obedience as a blessing, not a chore. Explain how sin may feel fun, but it leads to destruction, pain, and death.
