Salvation Object Lessons: Bringing the Message of Grace to Life
Salvation is the heart of the Christian faith, and Christian Object Lessons offer a unique way to teach this life-changing message. By using everyday objects, you can illustrate the truth of God’s love, forgiveness, and the gift of eternal life. Whether it’s a key unlocking a door to symbolize Jesus opening the way to salvation, or a cup overflowing with water to represent the fullness of God’s grace, these lessons make the concept of salvation tangible and memorable. Perfect for Sunday schools, youth groups, or family devotions—help others understand the power of God’s saving grace in a way they can see, touch, and experience!
