WHAT WE WANT TO TEACH

Dear tutor, this document aims to establish a framework.

through which you will discover the approach we want to use to present the gospel to children
teenagers and the concepts we want to share.

The intention of the material 'A Meeting with Jesus' is to provide the opportunity for the child,
teenager to know the gospel, invite Jesus to be their Savior, give him the opportunity to
child, adolescent girl to reaffirm her knowledge of the gospel. We hope that this material is
presented in an enjoyable and appealing way without losing the effectiveness of its purpose.

With this in mind, I invite you to remember three fundamentals that are part of the reference framework of
curricular material of Compassion:
The gospel is the good news of hope that reveals a close and liberating God for the being.
human, who in the person of Jesus offers living hope that translates into quality of life
For all, John 10:10, therefore, we do not share with children and adolescents a
gospel of condemnation and fear of hell, rather, we will share a gospel of
opportunity for each one, for a possible life in Christ.

The church has an educational function through which it shows that God loves humanity.

this is founded on the love for God and in knowing Him in an intimate and personal way,
recognizing that:
We do not yield to sin because it does not please God; it damages our relationship with Him.
We do not give in to sin because we know the value that God gave us, we are worth more than a
moment of pleasure.
We do not yield to sin because we were created to love and serve our neighbor, no

 INTRODUCTORY NOTE
GROUP OF ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG PEOPLE (12 to 17 years old)

Dear tutor, in this introductory note you will find foundations to develop the lesson on
an effective and efficient way, read it carefully, take note of relevant aspects for the group
adolescents you care for, additionally, keep in mind that knowing the development process of the
faith in adolescents and having clear concepts can be very helpful in understanding them and
guide them towards the knowledge of Jesus as personal Lord and Savior, about the development of the
Below, you will find two perspectives that discuss how faith develops in the
adolescence.

On one hand, we will learn about the perspective of James Fowler, researcher and professor of theology.
human development of Emory University, was director of the Research Center for Development
from faith and morality and from the Center for Ethics, until he retired in 2005, he was also a minister of the
United Methodist Church, which has published several works on the development of faith, this author
affirms that individuals go through different stages, in his opinion these stages have certain
characteristics:
They are predictable, that is, they can be anticipated.
They are invariable, that is to say, these stages occur in the life of all people without exception.
They are sequential, that is, they occur one after another continuously.

There may be variations in the content of faith and in the depth with which
it develops, however, the stages of evolution of faith always have the
mentioned characteristics.

Fowler identifies six stages of faith development:

1. Intuitive-projective faith (from 3 to 7 years)
2. Mythical-literary age (from 8 to 11 years)
3. Conventional and synthetic faith (adolescence)
4. Individual-reflexive faith (young adulthood)
5. Jointly (half-life)
6. Universalizing faith (old age)

For this group (12 to 17 years old), we will focus solely on learning about faith.
conventional and synthetic, regarding this Fowler states that:
- The adolescent's world extends far beyond the limits of the family, many others
sources demand their attention and interest as the teenager is immersed in a
process of discovering the world around you, for example, friends, school,
work, group of young people from the church, sports teams, and media.
- Your faith must provide coherence and meaning to all those new experiences, that is,
teenager will have to face the process of having to fit or reconcile faith
inherited from the family with the new realities it is discovering in its environment.
- Your faith is shaped by interpersonal relationships with other individuals and your environment, the
the teenager is in a process in which it is necessary for them to find a balance between their
own beliefs and the beliefs of other people which may very well be different and
even incompatible with one's own.
- Her faith is shaped by the attitudes of the people she interacts with.

On the other hand, we will learn about the development of faith according to Westerhoff, this author uses the analogy of the
growth rings of trees to describe the development of faith maintaining the following
characteristics:
- Each ring remains even as others develop around it.
- Faith is defined as an action that includes thinking (intellect), feeling (emotions), and wanting.
(will), related to knowledge, convictions, and behaviors
- Faith is sustained, transmitted, and expanded through interaction with other people.
believers in the context of a faith community

Westerhoff proposes four stages of faith development:

1. The faith experienced (childhood)
2. Faith affiliated (early adolescence)
3. The faith of searching (late adolescence)
4. Self-faith (adulthood)

In this group (12 to 17 years), you will find that some teenagers are located in affiliate faith, which
is characterized by:
- A strong feeling of belonging to a group.
- A strong emotional aspect
And other adolescents are located in the faith of seeking, which is characterized by:
- Young people question their faith
- It is a faith that allows and invites doubt, questions, challenges, and critical judgments.
- It is possible for young people to experiment with other religions, beliefs, or ways of viewing faith, and
also that they feel the need to commit to one or more causes

With these two perspectives, we can conclude that presenting the gospel to adolescents
between 12 and 17 years old, you will have to take into account that:
The interaction with the person presenting the gospel is very important, the language used.
and attitude can generate different results in the adolescent's response.
2. Presenting them a gospel of condemnation, rejection, and disqualification will reaffirm that God just like
Other adults also do not understand them, therefore, they will distance themselves.
3. The exposition of the gospel must be coherent and linked to their feelings, to their own.
situations, validating the importance of their interpersonal relationships.
The teenager needs to see God as a friend, someone who offers solutions not from
outside of his close circle but from his proximity, he needs to see him as someone attractive to whom
wants to get closer but at the same time someone stronger than him or her, who protects and accepts him or her even with
his mistakes.
5. Although the gospel should be presented attractively to the teenager, it cannot
to miss the message, the teenager needs Jesus as his Savior.
Having delved into the development of faith, now we will work on understanding some concepts.
What you will share over the next four lessons:

The love of God

Central idea: In the beginning, there existed a harmonious relationship between God and human beings.

God and human beings maintained a harmonious relationship, according to the biblical account of Genesis 2, this
the relationship required caring for mutual trust; God manifested His love to human beings (Adam and Eve)
Through the provision, protection, and authority given over his creation, human beings enjoyed
of freedom, trust, closeness, and communion with God, there are only limits for the protection of the being
human and not to enjoy what is created and a relationship of intimacy with God.

For God, the human being is the highest expression of His creation, made to live in harmony,
communion, dependence and praise of his glory and God is for the human being his creator, his
protector, his provider, the giver of life. This harmonious relationship not only refers to the narrative.
biblical creation, but also includes the relationship between human beings and God in the process of gestation
in the womb of his mother Psalms 139:15-17, God has always desired the well-being of human beings.

2. The sin
Central idea: The harmonious relationship between God and humanity was broken due to sin.
Sin is an action or attitude that harms the relationship between God and humans, and harms the relationship.
with himself and with his neighbor.

To give a definition of sin, we will consider that the harmonious relationship between being
human and God was broken due to sin, Genesis 3 shows that sin occurred because of the
the act of disobeying God, but beyond this action, we can see that human beings rejected
the counsel of God and took the counsel of Satan Genesis 3:8, before this, the human being ceased to be
liable, he could harm himself and others, which generated sin against God, against the
neighbor and against oneself.

In 1 John 3:4, sin is equated with the word infringement or transgression, this word means to act.
against a law, Adam and Eve had received a mandate, a law, and acted against it
therefore they acted unjustly, so sin is defined as acting unjustly,
that is, acting against a law, in this case the Law of God, for this reason, the human being is
judged in the just judgment of God.

In the same way, we will say that sin is upon humanity by inheritance Romans 5:12 since
Historically, humanity has been linked to sin since Adam and Eve Romans 3:10; sin
it is in the life of every person by their own will Romans 3:10-12 and Psalms 14:2-3 in the
decisions and daily actions, since the child distinguishes good from bad, sins, we are all
Romans 2:23.

We will define sin then as an action that, first of all, harms the relationship between God and
the human being, and secondly, harms the relationship with himself and with his fellow man, also
we can say that sin is to reject God's counsel in the daily life of human beings and that the
sin is a decision
3. Death
Central idea: Death is the consequence of sin, understood as separation from God.
to be spiritual, that is to say, inability to establish a relationship with God, physical which is
consequence of spiritual death since we are integral and eternal, which is the eternal separation from
God and it is a consequence to remain in spiritual death.

The consequence of sin is death, the death that the Bible talks about as a consequence of
sin cannot be understood as an act of vengeance on the part of the one who has authority and
he has been mocked, it is not as humanly understood that faults carry punishment and the bad ones
decisions lead to bad consequences, death as a consequence of sin is a principle
spiritual, the universe is sustained by physical and chemical principles to maintain order
Things, spiritually there are principles that uphold the order of things, God cannot
modify the principles just to justify the human being, the order of spiritual things.

After years of research, the human mind has understood some physical principles and
chemicals that govern the universe, trying to understand spiritual principles could be impossible
for the human being, God in His infinite mercy wanted to make known the spiritual principles
When he placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, he warned them not to eat from the tree of knowledge of
good and evil, clearly pointed out the consequence of such action Genesis 2:17, but, Adam and Eve
they coded, took, and ate the fruit of that tree in disobedience and therefore the
death, that is to say, that Adam and Eve were unaware of the spiritual principle that God had taught them.

The term death in the Bible is understood as separation and this separation occurs in three

the separation of the soul and spirit from the body, in death the body returns to dust
where it was taken, the spirit that is the breath of life returns to God, and the soul does not die but
what awaits the judgment of God for eternal death or eternal life.

The eternal death or second death is mentioned in Revelation 21, we must understand that
this second death is no different from the previous deaths in that the soul
continues to exist, it is a death that indicates eternal separation from the presence of God, this
separation goes far beyond being a simple separation from God, it involves an eternal discharge
from the wrath of God, the second death is to dwell in hell eternally Revelation 21:8, it is the
death that God referred to in Genesis 2:17.
Physical death is the consequence of having participated in spiritual death, but, death
eternal is the consequence of having remained in spiritual death.

[Link] Works
Central idea: The good deeds performed by humans are not enough to save them from the
consequences of sin, that is, of death, but good works are necessary to avoid
the suffering of others and serving them, which is God's plan.
The good deeds of a human being do not save them from death; good deeds are necessary for the
coexistence among human beings and for personal satisfaction, good deeds are the result of
faith in God, in fact the Bible points out that we must walk in good works Titus 3:1-8, and that
we will receive reward according to our works Romans 2:6, however, when we speak of the
consequences of sin, that is death, our works are useless, we must understand that the
sin generated physical and spiritual consequences for human beings, nor the works of beings

the bible teaches that our best works are like filthy rags before God Isaiah 64:6
our good works help us take care of ourselves and care for our neighbor, but without a doubt, they do not
they help save us from death as a consequence of sin.

Just as the works of man do not save him from the condemnation of death, some practices
religious ones don't do it either, for example, indulgences, which was a religious practice in which
they were sold some 'medallions' as forgiveness for the sins already committed; later they were sold for
forgiveness of sins that had not yet been committed and finally they were sold to be able to extract from
a person from purgatory, that is to say, indulgences could be purchased for others, even today,
religious practical lagoons orient the realization of a work to 'pay' for sin, for
example, special offerings, donations or sowing.

[Link]
Central idea: In his human condition, Jesus experienced all kinds of situations that a human being
I can live and feel all kinds of emotions that a human being can feel.

Jesus is the greatest manifestation of God's love for humanity, love is one of the
God's gifts that humans enjoy the most, we were created to be loved by God and to love Him.
God's desire has never been the destruction of humanity Ezekiel 18:32, God desires that
let us stay close to Him, that's why He gave us Jesus John 3:16 and Matthew 1:23. Jesus was not only
God among us, also was like one of us, lived everything that a human being can live,
he knew all our weaknesses John 1:14, God gave us his full love in Jesus because Jesus
He can understand us and is our eternal mediator before God Hebrews 4:15.

6. The Cross of Jesus Christ

Central idea: The cross is the highest manifestation of God's love for humanity, and also
it is the fulfillment of divine law. Jesus justified humanity before God.
The cross of Christ is the only solution in the face of death, when humanity sinned, the command of God
it comes into effect and the consequences of sin also Ezekiel 18:4, God was clear in establishing
the commandment Genesis 2:17, God cannot change what is said Numbers 23:19, in the face of sin the
the consequence is death, but God in his infinite love for humanity gave us Jesus Christ, his
only begotten son.

Christ is the definitive solution to death in any form Galatians 3:13 because Jesus
He fully complied with the law (spiritual principles), lived as a human being subject to needs.
but without sinning, but despite not having sinned against the law, Jesus died as a sinner, that is,
He took the place of the sinner, thus fulfilling the spiritual principle that he died because the wages of sin
It is death, and his work is based on the fact that he was interested in the human being Luke 19:9-10, in Christ.
all the sins of all humanity were placed upon him Isaiah 53:6-12, as he submitted to the Cross
being innocent, he took on the consequences of sin to save humanity Mark 10:45, the
the price was paid once and for all, Christ died on the Cross and gave us the possibility to free ourselves from
spiritual death.

The Cross is the only solution to man's sin because it symbolizes the sacrifice, Jesus is called the
Lamb of GodThe next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, 'Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!'yJuan 1:36refers to Him as the perfect and last sacrifice for
sin; the sacrificial system established by God in the Old Testament served as the basis for the
the coming of Jesus Christ, who is the perfect sacrifice that God would provide as atonement for the
sins of humanityFor what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh., Hebrews 10.

7. The Resurrection
Central idea: The resurrection of Jesus among the dead gives us the opportunity to
to reconcile ourselves with God.

The resurrection of Christ gives us the opportunity for eternal reconciliation with God, the resurrection is
a triumphant and glorious victory for every believer in Jesus Christ, who died, was buried and
He resurrected on the third day. The Cross meant for humanity the possibility of being freed from death.
spiritual, and the resurrection means that Jesus faced eternal death and overcame it Romans 6:9-11,
By resurrecting, He gave us the possibility of eternal life in Him John 11:25-27, He gave us the possibility to live.
eternally with God.

The resurrection confirms that God accepted Christ's sacrifice for our sins and gives us access.

forgiven by God with an eternal inheritance that nobody can take away from us 1 Peter 1:3-5, the
Resurrection is the pillar of the Christian faith 1 Corinthians 15: 3-19.

The invitation of God

Central idea: It is God's call to return to having a harmonious and close relationship with Him and to
put aside sin.

God established a continuous invitation to mankind for Mark 1:15:

- Repent
- Believe in the gospel

Throughout biblical history, we see God's interest in restoring the relationship with human beings.
The love of God is not sentimental, it is heroic” Romans 6:8, the prophets spoke in the ancient
testament of that love and there were infinite calls from God to the human being, even in the new
In the testimony, we see John the Baptist proclaiming God's invitation Matthew 3:2, the same Lord.
Jesus Christ at the beginning of his ministry extended God's invitation Matthew 4:17, the human being has the
freedom to respond to God's invitation to repentance and to remain in faith or not, what must
Knowing is that God will have that invitation valid only until one can be found Isaiah 55:6-7.

[Link] remorse
Central idea: Regret generates pain in the human being for having harmed the relationship with
God is a genuine desire to have an opportunity to repair your relationship.

The response of the human being that God longs for in the face of His manifestation of love is primarily the
repentance Isaiah 1:18, as a theological term, repentance is the act of abandoning the
sin, to accept the free gift of God of salvation and to start fellowship with God.

Repentance includes that the sinner:

Assume the guilt of your sinful condition before God, do not blame anyone else for your condition, but
accept the just judgment that God has established.
He feels great sadness for the sin committed against God, since because of his sin his relationship with...
God was damaged, recognizing his need for God and his desire to restore his relationship with God.
Luke 15:21.
Confess your sins, hide nothing, the sinner takes responsibility for their sins and opens their
sinful heart to God Romans 10:10.
Renounce sin by making the determination not to return to it Matthew 16:24.

In biblical repentance, the sinner takes their place before God to reconcile and restore their
relationship, abhors his sin and makes the determination not to return to it. The evidence that he has

Adolescents and young people in the group before sharing these lessons can make a difference.
The invitation is also for you to strengthen yourself in biblical knowledge, to take care of what is healthy.

of freedom, trust, closeness, and communion with God, there are only limits for the protection of the being

For God, humanity is the highest expression of His creation, made to live in harmony,

To give a definition of sin, we will consider that the harmonious relationship between being
humans and God were separated because of sin, Genesis 3 shows that sin occurred due to
the action of disobeying God, but beyond this action, we can see that the human being discarded
the counsel of God and took the counsel of Satan Genesis 3:8, before this, mankind ceased to be

against a law, Adam and Eve had received a command, a law, and acted against it.
therefore they acted unjustly, so sin is defined as acting unjustly,
that is to say, to act against a law, in this case the Law of God, for this reason, the human being is
judged in the just judgment of God.

In the same way, we will say that sin is upon humanity by inheritance Romans 5:12 since

We will define sin as an action that, in the first place, harms the relationship between God and
the human being, and secondly, it damages the relationship with oneself and with others as well
we can say that sin is to reject God's advice in the daily life of human beings and that the

wait for a single tutor to take charge of both groups (12 to 14 and 15 to 17).

Before the lesson:

Read and study the introductory note and the lesson very carefully.
2. Read carefully the love story (see in the lesson), make sure to give it an appropriate reading and
intonation in public, the intention is to establish a link between the feelings of the listener and
what the reading narrates that in this case aims to sensitize young people by preparing them for the
explanation of the concepts of God's love and sin.
3. List the materials you need for the lesson.
In large posters, make drawings that allude to the concepts of God's love and sin for this.
It is necessary for you to consult the introductory note and revisit the central ideas and the verses of the
worked concept, remember to give the focus of 'what we want to teach', likewise, it is
it's important to contextualize them for the age of your group (youth), the image should support the
explanation that you will make of the concepts, for example you can use:

the faces of the children must appear.
Lesson Development:
Welcome the young people and start the lesson by presenting them with a conversation topic: LOVE,
Tell them, for example, today we will talk about love, I will ask them some questions to converse, to
develop the conversation ask the following questions:
- Have you ever loved someone a lot?
- What feelings are experienced when loving?
- How do you show your love to the person you love?
- What do you expect from the person you love?
- What would happen if the person they love does the opposite of what they expected?
- What feelings would you have if the person you love does things that damage the relationship?

group and in separate spaces although the lessons can be given simultaneously. It is not expected
that a single tutor take charge of both groups (12 to 14 and 15 to 17).

Before the lesson:

Prepare images that show difficult situations that are experienced in the world daily.
be careful that they are not exaggerated or where high levels of violence are seen, it will be fine if
you use some like these:

2. Print the following text and then divide it into entries for each stanza

WHERE ARE THE HANDS OF GOD?

 Miguel Angel Cornejo

When I observe the untrodden field,

when the farming tools are forgotten;
when the land is broken and forgotten; I wonder:
Where will the hands of God be?....

When I observe injustice, corruption, the exploitation of the weak;

when I see the arrogant, pedantic,
the indecent of the ignorant, the poor, the worker, and the peasant,
lacking resources to defend their rights, I wonder:
Where are the hands of God? ...

When I contemplate that forgotten old woman,

when their gaze is nostalgia
and still babbles some words
out of love for the son who abandoned her, I wonder:
Where are the hands of God?....

When I see the dying one in his agony, full of pain;

when I observe your partner and your children wishing not to see you suffer;
when the suffering is unbearable and its bed
it becomes a cry for peace, I wonder:
Where are the hands of God?....

When I see that little girl who should be dreaming of fantasy dragging her existence.
and on his face is already reflected the weariness of living and in search of surviving, she paints her mouth,
she tightens the dress and goes out to sell her body, I wonder:
Where will the hands of God be?...

When that little one offers me his newspaper at three in the morning,
your miserable little box of unsold candy;
when I see him sleep, at the door of a cold hallway, shivering
a few newspapers that cover its fragile little body;
when your gaze demands a caress,
when I see him without hope wandering with only company
of a stray dog, I wonder:
Where will the hands of God be?....

And I face it and I ask myself: Where are your hands, Lord?...
To fight for justice, to give a caress, a comfort to the abandoned,
give love and tenderness to the forgotten!!!...

After a long silence, I heard her voice calling out to me:

Don't you realize that you are my hands?
Dare to use them for what they were made for:
To give love and reach for the stars!!!
 And I understood that the hands of God are you and me,
those of us who have the will, the knowledge, and the courage
to fight for a more humane and more just world;
those whose ideals are so high that they cannot
stop responding to the call of destiny; those
overcoming pain, criticism, and blasphemy, they challenge themselves
themselves to be the HANDS OF GOD ...!!!

4. Prepare a poster on a sheet of newspaper or craft paper like this:

For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.

Desires of the flesh Wishes of the eyes

meaning and make a small poster with each word to stick on the bulletin board during the
class.

"Immoral things" do not affect anyone's life. I looked at the television.

8. Print a copy of the worksheet 'My Journey to Encounter with Jesus' (see in the annex
two), one for each teenager.

During the lesson:

To start, welcome them, then tell them that they will begin by observing some images about
to which you will ask some questions, first, place on the board the images you prepared,
second, give them time to observe them, third, give them pieces of paper or post-its to give
answer to the following questions:
- Why do these situations arise in the midst of humanity?
- Is it God's plan for this to happen this way?
Tell them to write their answers individually on the slips of paper to then place them in each
one of the images and give yourself time to do it.
Once the answers are pasted, take one and read it aloud, then ask them to comment on it.
response you read, there is no need to reach an agreement on the answers, repeat the same one
processes with several answers, up to five, encourage them to comment.

When they have shared and talked a bit about the answers, end the conversation.
telling them that they will resume them a little later, then pose an exercise, ask them to
the teenagers form a circle, each of them will cross their arms in front of themselves, then
They will take the hand of each person next to them without uncrossing their arms, on both sides.
sides, then without letting go of their hands, give them some instructions such as to scratch their own
nose, touch one's own head, untie the lace or buckle of one's own shoe and then tie it again,
they should never be let go of, to finish the exercise ask them to sit down while still holding the
circle and talk about the sensations they experienced, what caught their attention from the
exercise.

Recalling some of your feelings, tell them that God has sometimes also felt frustrated.
by wanting to do some things through our life, to understand this a bit more, while
they stay in the circle, gives several of the teenagers a fragment of "where will they be
hands of God" (on sheets you prepared before the class) so that each one can then take the
time to read in order and make sense of the reading, ask others to listen with
attention.

After finishing the reading and while remaining seated, tell them that they are going to do the exercise again.

different? Let them give you their answers, then tell them that when we don't have our hands
occupied with other things we can be the hands of God so that there is no suffering in the
humanity, with this purpose God made us to serve one another in love.

Ask them to stand up and go to their place, once there, revisit some ideas from the discussion they had.
about the images, tell them that there are things that happen to human beings that are not the will of
God, God does not wish evil for human beings, His way of caring for us is through other beings.
humans who are willing to listen to him, deepens the concept of God's love using the
graphic resources that you prepared before the lesson; it is very important that you have these clear
concepts, emphasizing that there was a harmonious relationship between God and themselves.

Continue the explanation by stating that as seen in the hand exercise, our life is
busy doing other things that seem more important to us or that we enjoy more, we
we occupy ourselves with the sin that causes us to harm ourselves, others, and
Let's offend God, deepen the concept of sin using the graphic resources you prepared.
Before the lesson; it is very important that you have these concepts clear, it indicates that because of the
Sin, the relationship with God has deteriorated.

At the end of the explanation, tell them that they are going to delve a little deeper into how sin acts.
in teenagers, for this use the bulletin board you prepared, about 1 John 2:16, tell them that this
image, represents a serious evil: 'sin' and that in 1 John 2:16 they find the main ones
the impulses of this grave evil are three:
The desires of the flesh
The desires of the eyes
3. The vanity of life
Tell them that they will study the impulses of this terrible evil that can affect them physically, spiritually, and even...
eternally, read aloud 1 John 2:16, then on the poster point out:
1. The teeth, since there we will find the first deadly impulse, the desire of the flesh, this
impulse is quite unpleasant, it has been within us since childhood and it wants to lead us to
feeding our mind, body, and soul with things that will destroy us, one of the things that
They can observe in this impulse that it is satisfied with what is wrong in front of God,
Galatians 5:17-20 shows what things are not good in the sight of God, read the biblical quote and then
Write it with a marker on the bulletin board next to the title "The Desires of the Flesh", preferably,
read in a modern version, for example, God's Word for Everyone, these versions...
you can find it on the internet.
2. The eyes, here it represents the impulse of the desires of the eyes, tell them that this impulse has
made even the strongest cry, for any trash that gets in the eyes can cause
an infection that starts by destroying vision and advances to completely infect the mind
the imagination, in Matthew 5:27-28 Jesus showed us a serious case of this impulse, read again
the Bible verse and then write it with a marker on the bulletin board next to the title 'the desires of the
eyes", tell them that a modern example of this impulse would be something like, for example, it starts
for looking at a porn magazine or internet pages, then it progresses with semi-nude photos
on social media, cybersex encounters, etc.
Tell them there are three lies that make this impulse even more terrible:
Mentra 1: Having immoral thoughts or doing things online is not wrong at all.
In the end, it has not become a reality.
Mentra 2: Using the mind to 'think immoral things' does not affect anyone's life.
Rule 3: Everyone does it.
While you mention them, stick them on the bulletin board (use the posters you prepared earlier)

3. Body malformations are noted in the abnormal growth of the body.

In the life of every person, some feel it in the form of love for money, others in the form of
of love for material things, others in love for other people or for themselves and others it
they feel secure in not needing God in their life, this impulse can leave them
motionless person because they will always want to have much more than what they have and to envy others

At the end of the explanation, you should have the board set up with the signs that you placed on it.
so use it to do a quick and brief review.

Once you finish explaining the schedule, tell them that we are now going to identify the shapes of these.
impulses in our own lives, for this give each teenager a copy of the word search
to search for the names of the sins they have accepted in their lives and strike them out, that is,
put a line over the letters that form the word, while they do this see
taking the posters with the names of the sins from the bulletin board, explain the meaning of
those that the adolescents do not know.
Note: Do not allow mockery or unpleasant comments during the exercise.

When you finish placing the names on the bulletin board, ask them to participate in a prayer.
contgo, in the prayer guide them to recognize the love of God manifested in His desire that
experience well-being throughout their life, likewise, guide them to recognize that in their life they are

they have not walked in the good works that God wants them to do to help others, ask them to
break the word search sheet and ask God to help you no longer be in these sins

Note: the previous exercise is very personal, make sure everyone has sufficient privacy to
do the exercise with confidence. When directing the prayer, remember the characteristics of the development of the
faith of adolescents and be careful not to fall into practices that generate rejection from them.

Keep in mind that... Do not think you have to hurt to teach, and do not think you have to be hurt to learn.
Gangaji, American writer.

To finalize, it is important to point out that God wants us to obey Him because He loves us.
God's no's are always preventative because He knows that when we sin, we are the first affected.

sorry.

Then, ask them to reflect on what we have learned today, tell them that for this they will receive a sheet of
work, deliver to each young person the worksheet: "My Journey to Meeting Jesus" (see annex
2), in this they will write in a box on the way their reflection on today's topic, which feelings
have now in their heart regarding sin and their relationship with God, also ask them to
place a sign on your sheet to recognize it or put your first name on it and you
return it so that it can be used in the other classes, tell them that no one will read what they wrote.

adolescents.

LESSON TWO - WORKSHEET

Theme: Death
Central idea: Death is the consequence of sin, it is understood as separation from God, it can

consequence of spiritual death as we are integral and eternal, which is the eternal separation of
God and it is a consequence to remain in spiritual death.

The consequence of sin is death, the death that the Bible talks about as a consequence of
sin cannot be understood as an act of vengeance on the part of the one who has authority and
he has been mocked, it is not as humanly understood that the faults entail punishment and the wrongs
decisions lead to bad consequences, death as a consequence of sin is a principle
spiritual, the universe is sustained by physical and chemical principles to maintain order
There are spiritually existing principles that uphold the order of things; God cannot
modify the principles only to justify the human being, the order of spiritual things.

After years of research, the human mind has understood some physical principles and
Chemicals that govern the universe, trying to understand spiritual principles could be impossible.
For human beings, God in His infinite mercy wanted to reveal the spiritual principles.
when he placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, he warned them not to eat from the tree of knowledge of
good and evil, clearly pointed out the consequence of such action Genesis 2:17, but, Adam and Eve
they coded, took, and ate the fruit of that tree in disobedience and therefore produced the
death, that is, Adam and Eve were unaware of the spiritual principle that God had taught them.

The term death in the Bible is understood as separation, and this separation occurs in three ways.

Spiritual death, which is being separated from God, is not being able to establish a personal relationship.

Physical death occurred as a consequence of spiritual death because God made us in His
image and likeness if one part of us does not function well, the others are affected, this death is
the separation of the soul and spirit from the body, in death the body returns to dust
where it was taken, the spirit which is the breath of life returns to God, and the soul does not die but
What awaits the judgment of God for eternal death or eternal life.
 Eternal death or second death is mentioned in Revelation 21, we must understand that
this second death is not different at all from the previous deaths in that the soul
it continues to exist, it is a death that indicates eternal separation from the presence of God, this
separation goes far beyond being a simple separation from God, it entails an eternal discharge
from the wrath of God, the second death is to inhabit hell eternally Revelation 21:8, it is the
death that God referred to in Genesis 2:17.
Physical death is the consequence of having participated in spiritual death, but, death
eternal is the consequence of having remained in spiritual death.

Theme: The Works

Central idea: The good deeds that a human being performs are not enough for him to be saved from the
consequences of sin, that is to say of death, but good works are necessary to avoid
the suffering of others and serving them, which is God's plan.

The good deeds of a human being do not save him from death, good deeds are necessary for the
coexistence among human beings and for personal satisfaction, good deeds are the result of
faith in God, in fact, the Bible points out that we must walk in good works Titus 3:1-8, and that
we will receive rewards according to our works Romans 2:6, however, when we talk about the
consequences of sin, namely death, our works are useless, we must understand that the
sin generated physical and spiritual consequences for humans, neither the works of beings
the most outstanding humans have saved them from physical death, so what of our works
will save us from spiritual death and eternal death? none, so that the works of the being
humans can be saved must be shown completely just before God, and as already mentioned
When we talk about sin, whether through our own actions or by inheritance from Adam and Eve, being
a human is not just, he acted unjustly before God by infringing or transgressing the law.

Only Jesus acted with total justice before God, he was subjected to his human nature and yet still
acted justly (according to the Law of God), the only works we can use to justify ourselves
they are from Jesus, both those he did while living as just another man, and those he did on the Cross when
to die like a sinner without having ever been a sinner, and those that he did upon rising from among the
death, only believe in Jesus and his redemptive work in the life of each one, we cannot do anything else,
the Bible teaches that our best works are like filthy rags before God Isaiah 64:6
our good deeds help us take care of ourselves and care for our neighbor, but without a doubt, they do not
they help save us from death as a consequence of sin.

Just as human works do not save him from the condemnation of death, some practices
religious people also don't do them, for example, indulgences, which was a religious practice in which
Some 'medallions' were sold as forgiveness for sins already committed; then they were sold for
forgiveness of sins that had not yet been committed and finally they sold themselves to be able to get out
a person from purgatory, that is to say, indulgences could be purchased in favor of third parties, even today,
religious practices in lagoons guide the performance of a work to "pay" for sin, for
example, special offerings, donations or sowing.

In front of the group, take any of the objects you brought to class, hold it between your index fingers.
and your thumb with the arm stretched out in front of you and then let it go. Observe and ask, why does this happen?
let them give you their answers, some young person can explain it to you or you can tell them that this happens because
the law of gravity that says that the Earth attracts any object towards the center of the Earth, repeats it
the same with other objects, you will see that the same will always happen, tell them that as long as that occurs in the
The earth will always happen the same.

At the end of the demonstration, tell them that in the same way that the laws of physics exist and are
they always fulfill, so there are spiritual laws that have consequences regardless of how much
we want to change them, they will always be like this, these laws are not prohibitions, they do not depend on the

the force of gravity of the earth would change, many environmental disasters would occur and it would be very
difficult to survive on planet Earth.

To continue with the topic, ask them to form several groups of two or at most three young people, then,
assign one of the three biblical quotes to each group, it does not matter if they repeat, the quotes are: Genesis
2:17, John 4:24 and Ezekiel 18:4, then ask them to analyze which spiritual law is established in
each one, give them time to do it and then share it by naming a representative in
Each group that received the same biblical passage should be asked to complement their contributions.

After each group shares their answers, place the poster of the mind map in front of the
group and begin the explanation of the biblical concepts of death and works that you find in the note
introducing, remember that you need to understand this topic very well before the lesson don't forget
to revisit the main ideas of 'what we want to teach'.

At the end of the explanation, you are going to present a video called "Burial of the Old Man" or
"Burying the old man," remembers the given recommendations.

At the end of the video ask, What do you think about the content of the video?, how does it relate to the
video with the explanation of the mind map?, allow them to express their answers, then ask them to
think that each of them is the protagonist of the video, ask them to close their eyes and guide them in a
a prayer that guides them to recognize that because of their sins the consequence is death, that despite
that God wants to help you today are aware that there are spiritual laws that establish the
consequence of sin and that none of their good works is sufficient for them to be saved
same as the consequences of their own sins.
Note: When addressing the prayer, remember the characteristics of adolescents' faith development and have
be careful not to fall into practices that generate rejection from teenagers.

Keep in mind that... Do not think you have to hurt to teach, and do not think you have to be hurt to learn.
Gangaji, American writer.

Finally, tell them to reflect on what they have learned, to record it in one of the
workbook pages and have it returned to you so you can use it in other classes, submit to

From the beginning of the lesson, place it where the whole group can see it and that it catches their attention.
attention, do not say anything regarding its content, just say that it is a surprise they will have in the
class and that later they will know what it contains, don't let anyone open the box, lift it or
move, the idea is to illustrate how sin seems attractive to the eyes but is actually not.
You must maintain the expectation of surprise.

his answers, usually in response to this question, teenagers get excited, tell them you have
a challenge for them but they must pay attention to the instructions.

To present the challenge, you must use the board or a sheet of newspaper and markers like this:

 INTRODUCTORY NOTE ADOLESCENTS
LESSON THREE - WORKSHEET

Theme: Jesus
Central idea: In his human condition, Jesus experienced all kinds of situations that a human being
can live and feel all kinds of emotions that a human being can feel.

Jesus is the greatest manifestation of God's love for humanity, love is one of the
the gifts of God that humans enjoy the most, we were created to be loved by God and to love Him,
the desire of God has never been the destruction of human beings Ezekiel 18:32, God desires that
let us stay close to Him, that's why He gave us Jesus John 3:16 and Matthew 1:23. Jesus was not only
God among us, was also like one of us, lived everything that a human being can live,
he knew all our weaknesses John 1:14, God gave us his full love in Jesus because Jesus
He can understand us and is our eternal mediator before God Hebrews 4:15.

The Cross of Jesus Christ

Central idea: The cross is the ultimate manifestation of God's love for humanity, and also
It is the fulfillment of divine law. Jesus justified humanity before God.

The cross of Christ is the only solution in the face of death; when humanity sinned, God's command
comes into effect and the consequences of sin also Ezekiel 18:4, God was clear in establishing
the commandment Genesis 2:17, God cannot change what has been said Numbers 23:19, in the face of sin the
consequence is death, but God in His infinite love for humanity gave us Jesus Christ, His
only begotten son.

Christ is the definitive solution to death in whatever form it may take Galatians 3:13 because Jesus
he fully complied with the law (spiritual principles), lived as a human being subject to needs
but without sinning, but despite not having sinned against the law, Jesus died as a sinner, that is,
he took the place of the sinner, thereby fulfilling the spiritual principle he died because the wages of sin
it is death, and his work is based on the fact that he was interested in the human being Luke 19:9-10, in Christ
all the sins of humanity were laid upon him Isaiah 53:6-12, when he submitted to the Cross
being innocent, he took on the consequences of sin to save humanity Mark 10:45, the
the price was paid once and for all, Christ died on the Cross and gave us the opportunity to free ourselves from
spiritual death.

The Cross is the only solution to man's sin because it symbolizes the sacrifice, Jesus is called the
Lamb of GodJohn 1:29yJohn 1:36It refers to Him as the perfect and ultimate sacrifice for
the sin; the sacrificial system established by God in the Old Testament served as the basis for the
coming of Jesus Christ, who is the perfect sacrifice that God would provide as atonement for the
sins of humanityFor what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh., Hebrews 10.

Theme: The Resurrection

Central idea: The resurrection of Jesus among the dead gives us the opportunity to
to reconcile with God.

The resurrection of Christ gives us the opportunity for eternal reconciliation with God, the resurrection is
a triumphant and glorious victory for every believer in Jesus Christ, who died, was buried and
He rose on the third day. The Cross meant for humanity the possibility of escaping death.
spiritual, and the resurrection means that Jesus faced eternal death and overcame it Romans 6:9-11
by resurrecting, He gave us the possibility of eternal life in Him John 11:25-27, He gave us the possibility of living
eternally with God.

The resurrection confirms that God accepted Christ's sacrifice for our sins and gives us access.
In a relationship with Him Romans 4:25. Upon Christ's resurrection, we move from being enemies of God to being children.
forgiven by God with an eternal inheritance that no one can take away from us 1 Peter 1:3-5, the
resurrection is the pillar of the Christian faith 1 Corinthians 15: 3-19.

Theme: The Invitation of God

Central idea: It is God's call to return to having a harmonious and close relationship with Him and
put aside sin.

God established a continuous invitation to humanity for Mark 1:15:

- Repent
- Believe in the gospel

Throughout biblical history, we see God's interest in restoring the relationship with human beings.
"The love of God is not sentimental, it is heroic" Romans 6:8, the prophets spoke in the ancient
testament of that love and there were countless calls from God to human beings, even in the new
In the testimony, we see John the Baptist proclaiming God's invitation Matthew 3:2, the Lord himself.
Jesus Christ, at the beginning of his ministry, extended God's invitation Matthew 4:17, the human being has the
freedom to respond to God's invitation to repentance and to remain in faith or not, what must
The fact is that God will have that invitation valid only until He can be found Isaiah 55:6-7.

Theme: Regret
 Central idea: Regret generates pain in the human being for having damaged the relationship with
God is a genuine desire to have an opportunity to repair his relationship.

The response of the human being that God longs for in the face of His manifestation of love is, first of all, the
repentance Isaiah 1:18, as a theological term, repentance is the act of abandoning the
sin, to accept the free gift of God of salvation and to begin fellowship with God.

Repentance includes that the sinner:

assume the blame for their sinful condition before God, not blaming anyone else for their condition, but rather
accept the just judgment that God has established.
He feels great sadness for the sin committed against God, as because of his sin his relationship with...
God was hurt, recognizing his need for God and his desire to restore his relationship with God.
Luke 15:21.
Confess your sins, hiding nothing, the sinner takes responsibility for their sins and opens their...
sinful heart to God Romans 10:10.
Renounce sin by making the determination not to return to it Matthew 16:24.

In biblical repentance, the sinner takes their place before God to reconcile and restore their
relationship, hates his sin and makes the determination not to return to it. The evidence that he has
