Why do we not need to offer sacrifices for our sins?
Remind kids that Jesus is our perfect and final sacrifice. Tell kids that animal sacrifices could never completely take away sin; they only covered sin for a time. Explain that Jesus’ sacrifice is once-and-for-all because only He lived a perfect, sinless life, and only He defeated sin and death.
Do we need to follow rules and religious laws to be saved? Why not?
Discuss how even the priests in the Old Testament could never perfectly follow the rules or the Law. Remind kids that we can never measure up to God’s perfect standard of holiness. Tell kids that only Jesus perfectly obeyed the Law. Remind kids that we are only saved through faith in Jesus.
