I remember the very first Bible Club that I ever lead. I just taught what salvation was. I had made my own flannel graph people. Each of these people was composed of 2 pieces of paper. The outer side was their clothing, face, hands, etc.; the inside was either yellow or black construction paper.
I wanted the kids to see that the happy faces weren't necessarily the ones going to heaven. Neither were the angry/sad faces the ones going to hell.
It's a heart thing.
I talked about asking the Lord Jesus into your heart to forgive your sins. The whole story.
At the end of the talk, I had the yellow 'souls' go up to heaven to be with Jesus. The dark 'souls' I crumpled up and threw into a trash can that had flames made out of construction paper taped to the rim.
Cast into outer darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
I didn't preach it mean. I just told the truth.
Then I gave the invitation.
"Close your eyes and bow your heads. If you'd like to ask the Lord Jesus into your hearts, please just raise your hand."
If I remember correctly, we counted 28 hands.
Some save with fear, Jude says.
Fear of God on earth leads to joy in heaven.
