Not Guilty

In this compilation of short stories, kids learn that Jesus became our Substitute when He was punished for our sin. When we believe on Jesus and receive Him as our Savior, Jesus makes us God’s children and we become righteous in Christ. In “Judge Spanky,” Alfalfa uses John 1:12, “But to all who believed Jesus and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God,” to prove that Darla is a child of God. In “Red Handit the Bandit,” Red uses 2 Corinthians 5:21 incorrectly to try to get away with breaking the law. “For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.” You must be born again by receiving Jesus as your Savior if you want to be made righteous! In “Not Guilty As Charged,” the Prosecuter (Satan) tries to convince The Judge (God) to sentence Stephen Samuel Sinner to hell because he sinned. However, the Defense Attorney (Jesus) steps in to remind everyone that Stephen has been born again by receiving Jesus as his Savior—and Jesus already took the punishment for Stephen’s sin! “For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and His gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ.” Romans 5:15 #kids, #storiesforkids, #biblestoriesforkids, #faithbasedcontentforkids, #christiancontentforkids, #bedtimestoriesforkids, #biblelessonsforkids, #jesusforgivesmysin, #jesusmakesmerighteous, #jesusmysubstitute, #jesustookthepunishmentformysin, #jesusgivesmehispeace, #childrenofgod, #Bible, #fishbytesforkids, #fishbytes4kids, #ronandcarriewebb, #roncarriewebb
