God also wants to make your life more meaningful now. He wants to help you obey Him, as well as your parents and teachers, and show forgiveness and love to others, then join Him in heaven someday. If you want to know God personally, you can pray to Him with words like these: “Dear God, I know I’m a sinner. I believe Jesus died for me and that He is the only way to heaven. I’m trusting in Him to forgive my sins and to give me life that lasts forever. Thank you for making this possible.”

t didn’t take you long to discover there’s only one way through the maze to the hidden treat! Now, do you know what solving a maze and knowing God have in common? There’s only one correct way to do it! When God’s only Son, Jesus, lived on earth 2,000 years ago, He said, “I am the way” (John 14:6). This means no one can know God any other way. But if Jesus is the only “way” to God, how do you get started? Begin by realizing that you’re going the wrong way! God’s instruction book, the Bible, says that we all “like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one
to his own way” (Isaiah 53:6). Wrong “ways” include doing, saying, and thinking things that displease God. Things like disobedience, lies, and selfishness are “sins.” He says we “all have sinned,” and sins’ consequences must be paid—“the wages of sin is death” (Romans 3:23; 6:23). Thankfully, the way to God isn’t hidden! The Bible says God showed His love for the world when He gave His only Son (to die for us), that whoever believes in Jesus “should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Though Jesus never sinned, He took the consequences we deserved. God accepted His Son’s death on the cross in payment for the penalty for our sins! Because Jesus died and then rose again three days later (1 Corinthians 15:3-4), we can become part of God’s family. To those who truly believe that Jesus died for them, He promises to give them “eternal life; and they shall never perish” (John 10:28).
