How to Lead a Child to Christ

It is very important to adapt to the mind of the child. Children tend to take things literally. Often, we think children understand what we have taught them. Later we may find that they learned something quite different. A Bible school teacher told the story of the fall of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. He then asked the children to draw a picture of the story. "A 5-year-old produced a picture of a car with a man sitting in the driver's seat and a man and a woman in the back seat. The teacher asked Sally to tell about her picture. 'Well, it is just like you said in your story, God drove Adam and Eve out of the garden.'"

It's very important to make sure children completely understand what it means when they accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
