Explains that Jesus is the greatest hero of all since He gave His life for our sins!
 

TRACT TEXT

Heroes are all around us today. Every town in America has heroes like firefighters, policemen and women, and emergency rescue workers. Other heroes are busy protecting us all over the world, like brave soldiers in far-off countries.
 

Heroes do things for us we can't do for ourselves. They are stronger, braver, and specially trained to do their very important jobs. They may put out fires, catch criminals, or do anything to keep bad people or bad things from hurting us.

Heroes keep us from harm and rescue us when were hurt or in trouble. They never give up when we need them. Many have even died to save us. That is the greatest act of a hero.

The greatest hero who ever lived was God's Son, Jesus, and He died for you, too. But Jesus is more than a hero, He is our Savior. Jesus came back to life again and is still with us today.

You see, there is something dangerous inside us called sin. Sin hurts us. It also keeps us from going to heaven when we die. And there's nothing we can do on our own to get rid of our sin.

The Bible says:

All have turned away from God; all have gone wrong. All have sinned[and] the wages of sin is death.
Romans 3:12, 23; 6:23

We need help, so God sent Jesus to earth to rescue us from our sin. Jesus was a person, like we are, but He was also God. And He has all the power that God has.

The Bible says:

He [Jesus] died for our sinsin order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live. Galatians 1:4

Jesus gave His life to save us. He died so that all sin would be punished and placed on Him, even though HE was innocent. But since He was God's Son, God RAISED Jesus from the dead, and He's still alive today, ready to be our Savior and live in us if we want Him to!

The Bible says:

He [Jesus] was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised from the dead to make us right with God. Romans 4:25

All you have to do is tell Jesus you believe in Him and that you trust He can rescue you from your sin.

The Bible says:

Everyone who believes in him [Jesus] will have their sins forgiven through his name. Acts 10:43

Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord [Jesus] will be saved. Romans 10:13

If you want Jesus to be your Savior, you can pray like this:

Dear Jesus, I know I do or think bad things sometimes, and that stuff is called sin. I believe You died to get rid of my sin, and I want You to rescue me. I want You to live inside of me now, and I want to be with You in heaven someday. Thank you for being my Savior. Amen.
