GOLD PAGE
(Experience has proved it is wise to begin with the gold page, stressing the love of God.)
The gold page reminds me of Heaven. Do you know what Heaven is? (response) Heaven is God's home. The Bible tells us that in Heaven, the street of the city is pure, clear gold-like glass (Rev. 21:21). God tells us many other things about His home. No one is ever sick there. No one ever dies. There is no night there. Every person in Heaven will be perfectly happy--always (Rev. 21:4-23). The most wonderful thing about Heaven is that God the Father and His Son, the Lord Jesus, are there.
God made heaven and earth. Can you name some other things He made? (sun, moon, stars, trees and flowers) He made you, too, and He loves you very much. The Bible says, "For God so loved the world . . . (Jn. 3:16). This means He loves each person--including you and me. Because God made you and loves you, He wants you to be part of His family and be with Him in Heaven someday. What a special place Heaven is! It is perfect because God is perfect.
But there is one thing that can never be in Heaven.
