Help Kids Love Jesus

You may have heard the statistics. According to Barna, over one million young people ages 18 to 25 leave the church every year. And deconstructionism is on the rise, too.

No doubt, there are a lot of underlying reasons that can cause a young person to leave the church but the reality is that the desire to attend church doesn't come from head knowledge or allegiance to a tradition — it comes from a strong, personal and loving relationship with Jesus.

And hymns are part of God's plan to make our faith personal and connect theological truth to our hearts.

The hymn "Oh, How I Love jesus" is one of those hymns that especially helps make our faith personal. It reminds us not only of who Jesus is and how much He loves us, it reminds us why we can even begin to love Him in the first in the place: because He first loved us.

This digital hymn study helps you remember and teach:

• The name of Jesus is sweet because it represents Who He is.
• We love Jesus because He loved us first!

• And many more truths like these.
