Remind kids that because of sin we will never be perfectly faithful to God. Help kids understand that God’s love for us does not depend on our obedience. Lead kids to understand that our obedience cannot save us from our sin. Encourage kids to remember that God loves us because He made us and that it is only through faith in Jesus that we can be saved.
When was a time God was faithful to you?
Answers will vary. Encourage kids to share about God’s faithfulness in good and hard times. Help kids think about the ways God is faithful to do the little things like clothe them, feed them, etc. Remind kids that God is faithful to always be with them.
Why is it important to remember God’s faithfulness?
Lead kids to understand that it was important for the people of Israel to remember God’s faithfulness because even in their ancestors’ sin, God was still gracious to forgive. Encourage kids to remember that they can repent of their own sin and God will be faithful to forgive.
