God's Judgement and Promised Rescue
Wednesday, October 23rd & Sunday, October 27th
Key Passage: Genesis 3:9-24
Basic Truth: Only God can rescue sinners.
Memory Verse: He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. Psalm 103:10
Think about it:
In
times of great calamity, whether fires, floods or earthquakes, we are so
thankful when someone comes to our rescue. To be of help, a rescuer must be both willing and able to
save us.
Think about this: As
born sinners, we face the full wrath of Almighty God.
Think about this: He
still loves us, even in our rebellion!
And think about this: He
was willing to permit His sinless Son to pay the awful price of shedding His
blood at Calvary to rescue us from the otherwise sure result of our sin.
Take time to reflect on the
greatness of God’s love – and be overwhelmed with gratitude! “…God
demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ
died for us” (Romans 5:8)
Ask it:
All Levels
Q: What word does this verse describe?
A: Making a way for us to escape the punishment we deserve for our sins is mercy.
Grade 1-2

A: Because of our sin, we deserve to be punished. We will be separated from God forever without God's mercy and grace
Q: Did Satan succeed in ruining God's friendship with man?
A: No! God still loved Adam and Eve. He promised to send a special chosen one, someone who would rescue them from the punishment they deserved. God can repair the damage that Satan has caused.

A: God's promised Messiah rescues us! We can't save ourselves.
Grade 3-4
Q: Why is God the only One who can rescue sinners?
A: All humans are born in sin and are guilty before God. No one can pay for his own sin or for the sin of others. We are helpless without God's promised Messiah.
Q: What do the words mercy and grace mean?
A: Mercy: God's provision for sinners to escape the punishment they deserve. Grace: God's kindness that is not deserved.
Q: Have you ever disobeyed God? Do you deserve the same punishment Adam and Eve deserved: separation from God?
A: Yes! Romans 3:23
Grade 5-6
Q: Why does God rescue sinners?
A: God rescues sinners because of who He is! God's greatness and excellence do not change based on mankind's behavior. His promise to rescue undeserving sinners reveals His unchanging glory.
Q: What was the Messiah chosen to do?
A: He was chosen to destroy Satan forever and rescue sinners
Q: Does God see and know everything you do wrong?
A: Hebrews 4:13. God sees everything! He knows every sinful word, deed, or thought you've had. He knows how sinful we are!
