The Wordless Book

When I’m running errands, I often thank God for colors like white clouds, blue sky, green trees in a variety of shades, and houses, too.

My mind often turns to the Wordless Book with its colorful message.

I learned it in a neighborhood Bible club, but its truth is for people of all ages, an illustration of John 3:16:  For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

God loved the world! My husband and I once worked at a very large church that I called “world-class.” On the front of our church, up high, were large white letters that read like the old King James: “Whosoever Will May Come.” And come they did!

We had a diverse range of people groups, economic and educational levels, and all ages, from babies to senior citizens. It was an exciting place to be!

THE WORDLESS BOOK IS SIMPLE

Four Colors - - - Five Truths

ONE:  Sin has darkened our hearts; the darkest primary color is black.

Adam and Eve weren’t the only ones who chose to disobey God. Isaiah 53:6 says, “We all like sheep have gone astray, each one has turned to his own way.”

TWO:  Jesus shed his blood on the cross as a sacrifice to remove sin; that’s red.

Because of that, if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).  

THREE: Christ’s blood removes our sin; we are pure, white as snow.

“Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they will become like wool” (Isaiah1:18).  

FOUR: Eternal life in heaven includes streets of gold.

Revelation 21:21 says, “The main street of the city was pure gold as clear as glass.” Won’t that be something to see!

FIVE: It’s a wonderful new day when our sins are washed away.

“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Believe it! The message of The Wordless Book is for each of us---fresh hope and a fresh start!
