HOW TO TEACH THE SALVATION PRAYER TO KIDS

Share
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * 

0 comments

Introducing a child to an eternal friendship with Jesus Christ is an enormous
privilege, but it can be a potentially daunting prospect for many. What should
we say and how? Do they really understand enough? If we don’t say things right,
will their salvation come unstuck or not be sufficient somehow? Shouldn’t we
leave the salvation prayer to the ‘professionals’?   

 

Leading a child through the prayer of salvation is certainly a great
responsibility and one we should be prepared for.  But we can take some of the
fear out of it by remembering who it is we are introducing them to and, most
importantly, who does the work of salvation in a child’s heart.  That is the
role of the Holy Spirit, who convicts and brings revelation and transformation. 
We depend on Him to lead and guide us in all we say as we join in with what He
is doing.  Having this perspective can prevent us from feeling it's entirely
down to us. God can and will use our inadequacy as we depend upon Him.

 

Each kid is unique, so our teaching approach to salvation prayer should be
individual and not ‘one size fits all, although the truth obviously remains the
same.  Here are some things to bear in mind in tailoring our approach to be as
helpful and appropriate as possible.

 

Ask Good Questions & Listen

 

Don’t assume!  Ask them to explain what they understand about Jesus. Ask
open-ended questions. Ask them what sin is? If they’ve expressed a desire to
choose Jesus, ask them why? Once you’ve got a better idea of where they are up
to in their understanding, you can fill in any gaps and lead them forward.  Try
to avoid putting words into their mouths.

 

Love Not Fear

 

Love is the focus of salvation. “For God so loved the world, he gave His only
Son.” Salvation is the beginning of a relationship with God and God is love.  We
owe it to children to bless them with a solid foundation for their faith. When
presented with the depth of God’s love for them and the truth of their sin and
need for his rescue, a child’s heart can respond in gratitude and in a life
devoted to their loving God.

 

Fear is not the basis for any loving relationship and a focus on punishment and
God’s wrath may scare some kids into the kingdom but robs them of a healthy
relationship with God that can take years to recover from. Painting such a
one-sided picture of God is not good news.  God’s love and grace towards us
chase fear away.  The Bible says, “There is no fear in love. But perfect love
drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.  The one who fears is
not made perfect in love.” (1 John 4:18). 

 

Watch Your Language!

 

In your explanation of the good news about Jesus, keep your language simple. 
Avoid ‘Christianese’ phrases such as needing to be “washed in the blood of the
lamb” (yuck!) and talking like you have swallowed a King James Bible! Explain
words like repentance and sin.  We can use these Bible words but don’t assume
they are understood.  Make sure you are being age-appropriate and remember this
is another step in the kids’ faith journey and not your only chance to make sure
they understand the difference between justification, sanctification and
glorification or know how to define substitutionary atonement!  Above all else
we want to facilitate a heart connection with Jesus. 

 

Paint a Picture 

 

Think of an illustration such as a kid in trouble in a swimming pool who can’t
swim.  They need someone to save them.  Jesus is the rescue man who saves us. 
Or someone having disobeyed a warning sign who wanders into some quicksand.
Their disobedience led them into trouble, and they need rescuing.  Pictures like
these, along with stories and real-life examples, can help kids better
understand salvation and what accepting Jesus as Lord of their lives means.  

 

Act It Out

 

Many kids learn and understand by doing and so it may be helpful to literally
walk them through salvation.  We are walking away from God and going our own
way.  Jesus knows we’re heading into trouble we can’t see and shouts to let us
know.  We can choose to turn and walk towards Him (repentance) or continue to go
our own way. 

 

Use a Bible

 

When possible, actually show kids the gospel using the Word of God.  This is our
reference book for every situation and if we want them to treasure God’s Word,
they need to SEE it’s our go-to for truth and guidance.  It’s great to have it
memorized yourself but even better to show them for themselves and have them
read it if they can.  (You can speed the process up by having those scriptures
highlighted and labeled whether it’s on your phone Bible or a papery one!)

 

Celebrate! 

 

When kids reach out and cling onto Jesus as their Lord and Savior, they move
from darkness to light.  Nothing can separate them from the love of God!  They
belong to him and are free from the eternal consequences of sin and death. Have
them read this verse. “In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the
presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” (Luke 15:10)

 

Arrange Next Steps

 

The gospel is not something that kids move beyond as they grow as followers of
Jesus. Discipleship is working out how the gospel impacts their lives every day.
We are in the business of making disciples.  We cannot simply get kids ‘over the
line’ and think our job is done.  They must never be simply statistics but
lifelong learners and followers of Jesus.  This must be part of our thinking as
we introduce kids to Jesus.  What is next? How can we help them grow? 

 

The Truth In a Nutshell

 

 1. God created us to be his friends.
 2. Sin messed things up and stopped us from being friends with God. It
    separated us from Him.
 3. God made a way for us to come back to Him by sending Jesus to deal with our
    sin. What a gift!
 4. We need to choose to accept God’s gift & ask Him to forgive us and clean us
    from our sin.
 5. The Holy Spirit now helps us live to please Jesus and makes us more like
    Him.
 6. Once we have chosen to follow Jesus, nothing can separate us from Him ever
    again!
