#1: How can I be a missionary, I am just a kid?

I can help my parents be a missionary to those around them, by obeying my parents. When I listen to my parents, other people see a difference. They may wonder why I obey? I can tell them if I am a Christian that Jesus is my Savior and the Holy Spirit helps me obey my parents. (Eph 6:1, Matthew 5:16, John 14:15, Romans 8:9, Ezek 36;26-27).

Being a missionary wherever I am at, is what Jesus tells me to do, and my parents should help me (Matthew 28:18-20, Prov 22:6, Eph 6:1-4).

#2: How can I tell others about Jesus?

Your actions are the best witness! Maybe kids notice you do not say bad words, or you forgive someone who has made you mad. How did you do that? At some point you might tell them that a Christian knows Jesus has forgiven their sin and is their Savior. We know how to forgive others. The Holy Spirit helps you do that and your parents should help you too. Jesus tells us to forgive many times, (Romans 8:9, Matthew 18:22, Matthew 6:14,Ezekiel 36:26-27, Eph 6:1-4).

# 3: I notice someone is lonely or sad. Even after I try to cheer them up they are still sad. They say they do not know anything about Jesus. What can I do?
I can pray for that person (1 Tim 2:1-4), to see Jesus as their Savior. I can tell them that as a Christian, I can trust God even when things are not going well, (John 14:27, Psalm 56:3, Habbakuck 3:17-18). When things are going well, I praise Him too, (1 Thess 5:16-18). Having Jesus as Savior helps not only when I am on earth, but when I die too. (Matthew 28:20, Romans 6:23). I can ask them if they want to know more about Jesus and have my parents help me with questions they have.

# 4: Oh no, I did something that was wrong. Am I still a Christian?!"

Remember if we have admitted to God we are a sinner (Romans 3:23, 6:23, Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9), and believe Jesus is God's Son, and take God’s gift of forgiveness from sin (John 3:16, John 14:6, Acts 4:12, Romans 5:8, Eph 2:8-9, John 1:1-13) and confess Jesus as Savior and Lord, (Romans 10:9-10,13), we are a Christian.

Anyone can become a Christian by saying a prayer like this one: Father God in Heaven, I am a sinner. I want to accept Jesus Christ, as my Savior for my sins. I believe Jesus died for my sins and rose again. I want to trust and live my life for Jesus. In Jesus Name, Amen.

If you prayed that, and sincerely meant it, you are a Christian!

# 5:"I see Christians sinning a lot, I thought we were supposed to be different now?"

God tells us that we will still sin, even as a Christian,(Romans 7:17-20, 1 John 1:8), yet when we sin, if we are sorry for it and want to change, (1 John 3:9. Psalms 51:17, 1 John 1:9), we can be forgiven. Godly sorrow means you want to quickly do what is right. You want to show others how you have changed. (2 Cor 7:9-11).

If we are walking with Jesus, we will want to sin less, (Eph 4:22-24).

# 6: I told someone I am sorry, and I meant it. They still won't forgive me. Don't they have to forgive me right away?

We will need to be patient, it may mean it will take a while for the people we hurt to trust us, depending on what we did, (Eph 4:2), and we may need to get help from others if we keep doing the same sin, (Galatians 6:2). Even if the person we wronged never forgives us, we can know that God has forgiven us (1 John 1:9).

"The Curious Christian: Engaging Children's Questions on Faith (Book 1)"

Tim Nelson3

What is the Trinity? I said I was sorry, don't they have to forgive me right now? How can I be a missionary, I am only a kid? I see people who say they are a Christian sinning a lot, I thought we were supposed to be different now?

These are some of the 17 questions, Nelson tackles in this little book. Raised in a pastor's family, having served as a public school educator for over 5 years and now a homeschooling dad, to two children, Tim seeks to break down some important questions they will be asking of the Christian faith.

This is the first book in the series, The Curious Christian: Engaging Children's Questions on Faith.
