Transcript

How old are you? Nine is crazy... Do you believe in Jesus as your Lord and Savior? Sheesh. Let's go. Amen. Why does God forgive us? The reason why God forgives us is because He loves us, right? He loves us so much He understands that we're going to mess up. Sometimes you mess up. Where you don't listen to mom. You don't listen to dad. But is it because you don't like them? No. You mess up because you want to do certain things. Imagine if Mom and Dad didn't forgive you when you messed up. How would you feel? Sad. Sad, right? God, He forgives us because He wants us to know, "Hey, I love you. Yes, you messed up. But I still love you." You love the people you forgive. When you grow up older, Isabel, you're going to mess up again. You're human. I mess up still. But what's beautiful is God, He doesn't mess up. And He knows that you will mess up. And that's why He forgives you. Are you forgiven by God? Yeah. Amen. Do you believe in Jesus as your Lord and Savior? Yes. Sheesh. Let's go. Amen.
