Elementary Discussion Questions
Why can we trust the Bible?
Remind kids that the Bible is the Word of God. Lead kids to understand that God spoke to His people through the prophets, but He speaks to us now through His Son, Jesus, and His Word. Help kids understand that because the Bible is God’s Word and we can trust God, we can also trust the Bible.
How does God write His law on our hearts?
Discuss how God does not literally write His law on our hearts, but He gives us a heart that wants to love and obey Him. Teach kids that God also does not literally place a new heart inside us. Emphasize that a “new heart” means that God gives us new desires and passions. Remind kids that we only receive this new heart through our faith in Jesus. Lead kids to understand that because of Jesus and the Holy Spirit in our lives, we can now obey God and love Him rightly. Remind kids that until Jesus comes again we will never obey perfectly, but Jesus obeyed perfectly for us.
How can you share the hope of Jesus with others?
Answers will vary. Guide kids to discuss how everyone needs to hear how Jesus can wash away our sin. Lead kids to think about people in their lives who may not know Jesus. Consider inviting kids to share ways they have shared the gospel or demonstrate a gospel presentation for the kids.
