JV Highlight 2

The last day of our J.V camp we were talking about how when you accept the gift of Jesus Christ to be your personal savior your sins are paid for and you become white (pure and connected to God). One of the campers who was quite disruptive at times walked up and took the ball of many colors, and asked, "are we still pure if we keep on sinning...won't we become like the dark patch (sin) on the ball again?" He also asked this question in regards to a coach’s testimony describing how he became a follower of Christ at age four, and then rededicated his life later on. We looked up John 10:28 together which describes how God has given us eternal life and no one can snatch us out of His hands. We explained that although we still sin and are not always in the best fellowship with God, we can be comforted that salvation is assured and once we are His children we are always His children. It was exciting to see how God used this young boy to ask such an intuitive question that led to a deeper discussion and discipleship lesson.
