Use these statements to connect each session of Bible Studies for Life: Kids to Christ as you teach your children each week.
Unit 1, Session 1 God Protected Moses
God protected Moses and saved him for a special purpose: to rescue His people. God sent Jesus for a greater rescue: Jesus came to earth to save God’s people from their sin.
Unit 1, Session 2 God Chose Moses
God called Moses to rescue His people. The calling of Moses points to a greater calling and rescue—the call of Jesus to come to earth to save God’s people from sin. Moses and Jesus both obeyed God’s commands in order to carry out His plan of salvation. Moses delivered God’s people from physical captivity; Jesus delivered God’s people from captivity to sin.
Unit 1, Session 3 God Provided for the People
God provided for people’s greatest need by sending His Son, Jesus, to be the Savior. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the garden of Eden, sin entered the world and separated all people from God. This separation results in physical and spiritual death. However, God provides salvation from sin and spiritual death through the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus.
Unit 1, Session 4 God Gave the Ten Commandments
God gave us rules to show that He is holy. Our sin keeps us away from God, but Jesus came to bring us back to Him. Jesus is holy; He never sinned. We can trust Him to forgive our sin.
Unit 2, Session 1 God Told Jeremiah What to Write
God chose Jeremiah before he was born to tell people what God said. God also had planned all along for His Son, Jesus, to show God’s love for people by dying on the cross. Jesus rescues people from sin.
Unit 2, Session 2 Ezekiel Offered Hope
We can have hope because God’s Word is true, and He always keeps His promises. God’s greatest promise was to send His Son, Jesus, to be the Savior. Jesus gives us the hope of forgiveness from sin and the hope of spending forever with Him in heaven.
Unit 2, Session 3 Prophets Told About Jesus
God’s plan to save people from sin and death was not a secret plan. The Bible tells about God’s plan for Jesus. God would send Jesus to be the Savior—born into the world as a baby to live the perfect life that people fail to live and to die the guilty death we deserve.
Unit 2, Session 4 Jesus Read the Scriptures
Hundreds of years before Jesus was born, the prophet Isaiah wrote about God’s plan to send a Messiah. He would bring good news and save people from their sins. Jesus read Isaiah’s words and told everyone who was listening that He is the promised Messiah.
Unit 3, Session 1 Noah
God provided a rescue plan for one righteous man—Noah. The rescue was extended to Noah’s family. This story points to a greater rescue! Jesus, the only perfectly righteous person, came to take the punishment for sin. We trust His act of obedience and are saved from the punishment our sin deserves.
Unit 3, Session 2 Abraham and Sarah
God fulfilled His promise to Abraham by giving him a son. Isaac was the hope of Abraham and Sarah for a future and a legacy. God fulfilled His promise to the world by giving us His Son. Jesus ultimately fulfilled God’s promise to Abraham, and He is the hope of the world for salvation and redemption.
Unit 3, Session 3 God’s Promise to Jacob
God sent Immanuel—God with us! God sent His Son, Jesus, to be with people. God planned for Jesus to be the Savior from the beginning of time and sent Jesus to earth at the perfect time. Jesus is fully God and fully man who came to earth in human form. Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected on the third day to provide eternal life for everyone who believes in Him. The Holy Spirit comes to live within those who trust Jesus as Savior and Lord. He is always with Christians and reveals God’s will, helps Christians tell others about Jesus, and teaches how to live in ways that honor God.
Unit 3, Session 4 David Faced Goliath
God loves people and sent His Son, Jesus, to be the Savior. God knew people would face temptation and would sin. Because of His great love, God sent Jesus to rescue people from their sin problem. Voluntarily enduring death on the cross was not easy for Jesus, but He chose to trust and follow God’s plan to save people from sin. People who trust in Jesus as their Lord and Savior can ask God’s forgiveness for sin and receive eternal life. Salvation is a free gift from God that rescues the believer from sin and its consequences, renews the believer to holy life, and restores the believer to a right relationship with God for eternity.
Unit 3, Session 5 God Provided the Savior
God planned all along that Jesus would die on the cross for our sin. Seven hundred years before Jesus was born, the prophet Isaiah wrote that this would happen! Jesus is the Servant who suffered so that those who trust in Him would be forgiven.
