Faith Factor: Evangelize with Jewelry

There are so many creative ways we can help spread the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. One way I like to do this is with jewelry. I made these earrings with just a few simple tools and some small pony beads.

You’ll need:
small pony beads in these colors: yellow, black, red, white, and green.
earring hooks
earrings posts
jewelry making tools
clear small beads
small silver spacers

My mom got me a bead tray to help me sort out my beads. This helps so that your beads don’t roll off the table, and you can arrange them neatly in the groove until you get the pattern just the way you like it for whatever project you’re making.

First place the clear bead on the post, then the rest in the order listed above. Add the silver spacer last then use your tool to curve the post into a small loop.

Slide the loop into the loop of the earring hook and close with your tool.

I have three pairs to send to three special winners.

Each color is a symbol of the verses God gives us to learn about our Saviour.

Yellow- God loves you and wants you to go to heaven. Yellow stands for the gold streets in heaven. John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Black- We all make mistakes. When we do bad things the Bible calls that sin. Sin is not allowed in heaven and has a payment. Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 6:23a, “For the wages of sin is death;”

Red- Is for Jesus blood which is shed for you. Jesus knew we were already sinners, but he still died to pay our sin debt. He had the hard part. Luke 22:20, “Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.”

White- He washes our sins away so that we can enter heaven. Isaiah 1:18, “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”

He died as a gift for us. Ephesians 2:8, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: “ But as with any gift, if you don’t receive it, then it’s not actually yours yet. The gift must be received.

Once you realize that you are a sinner, confess to God your need for the Saviour, and by faith trust in His death as the payment for your sins.

Green- Go tell someone else what decision you made. Mark 16:15, “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Acts 4:20, “For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”

Deadline to enter is October 15th!
