The Wordless Bracelet

True or false: Six simple beads on a leather cord can be a powerful witnessing tool. True!

A short time ago, I was introduced to "The Wordless Bracelet". If you've every heard of the wordless book you might have an idea of what I am about to tell you about. The wordless bracelet is simple leather cord with six colored beads strung on it. Each different color bead represents something different about God's message of salvation. The six colored beads are as follows: Gold, black, red, white, green and blue.

Gold represents the streets of heaven that are paved with gold, where we will spend eternity if we believe in God.
The black bead stands for our sin. Because we are all born into a sinful nature, we fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and are separated from Him.
The red bead represents the blood Jesus shed on the cross for us. Because He died on the cross, he paid for something He wasn't even guilty for. He was willingly taking the punishment for every sin that you and I and everyone in the world has ever committed.
The White bead shows how after you let Jesus into your heart and repent your sins, He sees you now as white as new snow.
The green bead is all about growth. When we become God's children, He wants you to get to know Him better and start a personal relationship. We can do this by studying his message to us (the Bible), attending a Sunday church and spending time alone with Him.
The bracelet is tied together with a blue bead that represents baptism. Although it is not necessary for salvation, we do it to show that we have died to our old life (being fully immersed in water) and have been raised to a new one (coming out of the water).

I personally love using this as a tool and I wear my bracelet everyday. It's a good conversation starter. Sometime people will ask about it or tell you they like it and from there, it's super easy to dive into a conversation about its meaning. At the end of the conversation you can give them the bracelet to remind them what Christ did for them and that eternal life in heaven is an option even though we have all sinned.

Wordless bracelets are super easy to make and give away! Check out the "Wordless Bracelet" page to make your own!
