The state of perdition and the path to salvation are the same for all human beings. However, it is clear that you will not speak to a child with the same terms as if you were talking to an adult. Some words and phrases that are familiar to us may mean nothing to a child. His vocabulary is very limited, his ability to listen too. It is therefore necessary to explain briefly and simply, without drowning the child in all kinds of developments:

1. The state of perdition

• God loves you very much.
• But because of the harm you’ve done, you’re separated from him forever.

2. The process to be saved

• Recognize that it is because of the evil you have done that you are separated from God forever and ask forgiveness.
• Believe that on the cross, Jesus was punished in your place for your sins.
• Believe that Jesus has come back to life and that he is the Lord, the Master of everything.
• Accept that he is the Lord of your life.

3. What God follows this process

• It erases your sins forever.
• Nothing can separate you from him anymore.
• He gives you a new life, eternal life.
• You become his son or daughter forever.

It is advisable, at first, not to develop these different points, except to answer a question from the child. After that, your job as a teacher will be to revisit these topics and develop them more precisely.
