"I know that just being good is not good enough to get into Heaven"


When asked the question "How to go to Heaven?", many unbelieving kids will say "Be Good." McKenzie walked into GNC at Edna Keith with this belief. She is an older girl, 4th or 5th grade. Typically, kids this age rarely come to a GNC, thinking it is for little kids. But not McKenzie, she has been coming for several weeks. This Monday when she heard her GNC teacher share the Bible lesson, it clicked in her mind that her previous view of be good and you'll go to heaven was wrong. The Holy Spirit was working in her heart. When the chance to talk to the GNC teacher about becoming God's child, McKenzie responded. When asked why she came back, she said "I know that just being good is not good enough to go to heaven." She wanted to become God's child. So, in the gym of Edna Keith Elementary School, McKenzie became God's child and now knows she will be in Heaven one day. Pray with me for McKenzie as she grows in her faith.
