Here is a quick summary of the different colors of the wordless book (attributed to Charles Spurgeon) including Bible verses for each one:
Black: This color stands for sin. Who can tell me what sin is? Sin is when we disobey God. The Bible says in Romans 3:23 that everyone has sinned. Sin is what separates us from God, because God has never sinned. We cannot save ourselves from our sin.
Red: This color stands for the blood of Jesus. Who can tell me what Jesus did for us? Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins. John 3:16 says that Jesus did this to provide for our salvation. Not only did Jesus die for us, but He also rose from the dead to show His power over death!
White: This color stands for the cleansing of salvation. Who can tell me how we can receive salvation? By accepting Christ and following Him. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says that if we have accepted Christ, we have become a new creation. God forgives our sin and makes us as white as snow! We are justified before Him.
Gold: This color stands for heaven. If you follow Christ and are a part of God’s family, you will get to spend eternity with God in heaven! Who can tell me what eternity is? Forever and ever. Jesus said in John 14:1-3 that He has gone to prepare a place in heaven for everyone who follows Him. (At this point, you can ask if they want to receive Christ and follow Him, then explain to them how to do so.)
Green: This color stands for growth. If you are a follower of Christ, you need to grow in your new life! Can anyone tell me how plants grow? Water, light, and healthy dirt. Just like a plant needs those things to grow, we also need help to grow as followers of Christ, like it says in 2 Peter 3:18. To grow, we need to spend time talking to God in prayer, fellowshipping with other believers, and reading God’s Word. (Take time to explain what each of these areas looks like)
