Your kids need to understand why they need Jesus. Romans 3 is where it starts.
Romans 3 is one of the most important chapters in the entire Bible. It answers the question every person has to wrestle with: Am I good enough for God?
The answer Paul gives is honest, and it’s the foundation of the gospel: No. None of us are. Not even close.
That might sound discouraging. But it’s actually the best news in the world, because Paul doesn’t stop there.
This free Romans 3 family Bible study is designed to help you walk through that journey together as a family, at a pace that works for young kids and older ones alike. No seminary degree required. No elaborate lesson plan to prep. Just your family, your Bible, and a guide that does the heavy lifting for you.
Why Romans 3 Matter for Your Family
Parents often want to teach their kids that they’re loved by God. That’s true and important. But kids also need to understand why Jesus had to come. What problem did He come to solve?
Romans 3 answers that question directly by showing us:
Every person falls short of God’s standard, not just “bad” people.
God’s holiness demands justice, not just a pass.
Jesus took that judgment on our behalf.
Faith, not effort, is how we receive what He’s done.
When kids understand this, the gospel stops being a nice story and becomes the most important truth in their lives.
