Lesson 7
Jesus Opens Heaven For Us
The Redemption - The Church

19. Why did God the Son become man?
God the Son became man to satisfy for the sins of all men and to help everybody to gain heaven.

God loves all men.
God wanted all men in heaven.
God sent His Son to show men the way.
God sent His Son to open the gates of heaven.

20. How did Jesus satisfy the sins of all men?
Jesus satisfied for the sins of all men by His sufferings and death on the cross.

The gates of heaven had been closed by sin.
The sin of Adam and Eve had closed them.
God sent His Son to make up for sin.
God sent His Son because He loves us.

Jesus died on the Cross for us.
He died because He loved His Father.
He died because He loved us.

Love pleases God. Sin displeases God.

The love of Jesus pleased the Father more than sin displeased Him.
The love of Jesus… destroyed the power of sin.
The love of Jesus was like a fire in His Heart.
Jesus lit this fire in Mary’s heart too.
This love made Jesus die on the Cross for us.
This love pleased the Father more than sin displeased Him.
Sin lost its power to keep us out of heaven.
The love of Jesus… opened the gates of heaven.
The Father in heaven was pleased with this love.
So he raised the body of His Son from the dead.
He opened the gates of heaven to welcome His Son.
Mary gave Jesus to the Father for us.
Jesus went home to heaven to prepare a place for us.
                                                                                   

21. How does Jesus help all men to gain heaven?
Jesus helps all men to gain heaven through the Catholic Church.

The Church is like a ladder to heaven.
Jesus gave us only one ladder.
The Church is our only way to heaven.
