This is a summary/thought straight from a 6th grade FCA leader. It's quite impressive...
You must do what God wants rather than what you want, give your life up for God, and believe and follow Him. You must do this not to save your life, but to be wholeheartedly committed to God. Your life will be meaningless if you do not give it up to God. You will be rewarded in Heaven if you do this.
Questions:
1. What might keep you from giving up your life to God?
2. Why is it important to die for God?
3. Why should you want to use God to save your life?
4. Why is it hard to deny yourself?
5. If you follow Jesus why must you lose your life to save it?
What you have read are direct quotes from a 6th grader. I think she gets it. :)
