The Wisest Choice

What our series "Siri-ously" is all about:

We ask Siri thousands of questions every day, but she can’t tell us what to do about the things that matter most.  What if there was a question that could answer just about everything?

The Wisest Choice

We have been learning to make wise decisions when it comes to the situations that life throws at us, but how unwise would it be to not make a decision when it comes to our eternity.  We are all born into sin, which is why Jesus says in John 3:3 that “Unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”  We need a new citizenship, and since we didn’t behave our way into being born in sin, we don’t behave our way into the Kingdom of God.  We need a Savior to forgive us.  And that forgiveness has come through Jesus; all we need to do is accept it.

This Weeks Point: Accepting Christ's forgiveness is the wisest choice you will ever make.

At Home Suggestions

Talk with your kids about your own relationship with Jesus.  If you know they are Christians, encourage them to follow and be reminded of what He has done for us.  If you don’t know or are unsure, encourage them to put their trust in Him.

Read Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. (HCSB)

Ask: What does it mean to be “declared righteous”?  How are we declared righteous?  What is the result of being declared righteous?

Explain that to be declared righteous means that even though we sinned, God’s perfect Son took our place so that we could be made right in God’s eyes.  This happens not by our good works, but by our faith in His sacrifice.  When we do this, we finally have peace with God.

Pray that all of your loved ones would make the wisest choice ever by accepting the forgiveness that only comes from Jesus Christ.
