New Testament explained to kids
The New Testament is a collection of 27 books, written in Greek, that follow the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The first four books (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) are called the Gospels. The Gospels tell the story of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. The next book, called the Acts of the Apostles, tells the story of the early Church. The remaining books (Romans, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, 1 and 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, 1 and 2 Peter, 1, 2, and 3 John, Jude, and Revelation) are letters written by various authors to different churches.
The New Testament was written between the years 45 and 100 AD. The first five books (the Gospels and Acts) were written between 45 and 60 AD. The remaining books were written between 60 and 100 AD. The New Testament was written in Greek because that was the common language of the day.
The New Testament is important because it tells us about the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. It also tells us about the early days of the Church. The New Testament is the second part of the Bible. The Old Testament is the first part.
