Elements of the Bracelet


The Heart

The heart reminds us that God is love. When God created us, He created us for relationship with him. He had a perfect plan for our lives.

References: 1 John 4:16

 


A Broken World

Instead of God’s perfect plan, we chose our own plan, which the Bible calls sin. Sin is what causes brokenness. Sin separates us from God. 

References: Romans 1:25, James 1:14-15

 


crossThe Cross

Because God still loved us, he sent his son Jesus down to earth to live a perfect life. As a perfect sacrifice, Jesus died on a cross to pay the price for our sin and repair our brokenness.

References: 1 Corinthians 15:3, Romans 6:23


ETERNITYEternal Life

The Bible says, “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” This means that instead of separation from God in hell, we will live with Him forever in heaven one day. 

References: Romans 10:9-10


Your Response

When I heard this story, I knew I needed to trust Jesus to forgive my sin. It is the best decision that I have ever made. These symbols are very personal: God loved you in spite of your brokenness, and wants a relationship with you. Would you like to trust Jesus to forgive your sin, acknowledging Him as Lord of your life?

References: Romans 10:13
