Chosen By God: Bible Craft Ideas for Ephesians 1:3-14

sundayschooleditor

We recognize the precious blessing that we are sons and daughters of God. He has chosen us and made us part of His family, which reminds us that we are heirs to His kingdom and deeply loved by Him! These are beautiful truths that children need to know and embrace. These crafts aim to help students recall who they are in Christ and know that they have a special purpose. An “up-cycled instrument” uses simple materials in a new way to show that all things have purpose. The “keys for life” are a reminder of how we are made to worship God and what it means to be His. And a “child of the king crown” reflects our status as His chosen children.
