“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
2. Explain to the children that God loves us very much and wants us to be with Him forever. But because of sin, we cannot be with God in heaven.

4. Remind the children that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to die for us. Jesus took the punishment for our sins so that we could be forgiven.
5. Explain that when we believe in Jesus and ask Him to forgive our sins, we can have eternal life with God in heaven.
6. Encourage the children to ask questions and share any thoughts or feelings they have about God’s love and salvation.
Conclusion:
God’s love for us is an amazing gift. He sent His only Son to die for our sins so that we can have eternal life with Him. Remember that John 3:16 is a reminder of this great love. Let us pray and thank God for His love and for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.
