This document provides an activity to illustrate to kids that everyone needs salvation. It involves describing everyday situations people may not think they need saving from, like swimming or driving, but then adding additional dangerous elements, like a shark or cliff. It aims to show that initial appearances can be deceiving and additional context can change a situation, just as sin may not seem dangerous until considering eternity. The activity builds to emphasizing that the Bible says all need salvation due to the wages of sin being death, which people often do not realize until considering their full circumstances and God's word.

INTRO TO SALVATION LESSON
The Bible says that everyone
needs to be saved – only most
people do not realize it. They think
they are “fine,” just like the man
reading the book- he needs to
look up and realize it isn’t just a
cloudy day. People need to see the
things in this world that show that
there is more to it, and that they
are indeed in need of being saved.
(Romans 6:23)
