A Study for Children on Following Jesus

What is salvation? How does someone become a Christian? What does it mean to become like Jesus? To Be Like Jesus begins by helping students answer these important questions by establishing the foundation of what it means to be created in the image and likeness of God and shows how we have sinned and utterly fallen short of glorifying God as we should. Then, students will learn nine elements of the gospel message, its purpose and its promise. The second half of the curriculum focuses on the doctrine of sanctification—the process by which a Christian becomes more and more conformed to the likeness of Jesus. Students will study 19 specific commands of Scripture that highlight how they can love God most and become more like him such as worshiping God, being merciful, rejoicing in persecution, being a humble servant and serving God with your abilities.

To Be Like Jesus (also available in Spanish) is an essential study to help elementary students understand salvation and sanctification explained through the promise of the gospel.

Customer Testimonials

Jennifer

We have just finished the “Be Like Jesus” Sunday school curriculum. It went very well! I was really looking for something with just the right amount of depth for our kids and this worked great for that. It was a great balance of presenting deep truths, yet presented in a way that kids can understand.

Jennilee

We selected Truth78 because it is theologically sound and reasonably easy for us to adapt as a chapel curriculum for our elementary school program. It has been a joy to see our students be able to articulate “seminary smart words” like justification, atonement, salvation, adoption and sanctification.
