Gold Bead - - Represents Heaven. The Bible tells us that in Heaven, the streets of the city are pure, clear gold-like glass. In Heaven, there is no sickness, no death. Every person will be perfectly happy - - always (Rev. 21:4-23).

Black Bead - - Represents sin. "For all have sinned" (Rom. 3:23) Sin separates you and me from God because He is perfectly right - - without any sin at all. The punishment for sin is death - - to be separated from God forever (Rom. 6:23). God made a way for you to be forgiven.

Red Bead - - Represents the Blood of Christ. God loves you so much. He sent His own Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to earth from Heaven. (John 3:16) The Bible says while He hung there, God put all your sins on Him (ISa. 53:6). "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more than, having now been justified by hisblood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him." (Romans 5:8-9)

White Bead - - Represents Purity. We can be made clean from sin (Ps. 51:7). If you believe on the Lord Jesus as your Savior, He will forgive your sin. And He will be with you always and give you power to obey God. You can tell Jesus today that you have sinned and that you believe He died for you.

Green Bead - - Represents new, everlasting life. When you believe on the Lord Jesus as your Savior from sin, you are like a newborn baby in God's family "Grow in... the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" (2 Pet. 3:18).
