Our pastor in California made up this 'handy' way to remember the gospel and to teach it to our kids. I have used this many times, both for my heart and my kids.
As you hold out our hand explain what each of the five fingers stand for:
-THumb-God is Supreme! (this can be explained and also what His standards are)
-Pointer-Man is an idolater (explaining how we fall short of God's standards)
-Middle-Jesus is the double cure; cleansing us of our unrighteousness and of our guilty conscience
-Ring-God gives us faith to trust in His promises
Pinky-God gives us the ability to repent, to turn from sinful behavior
I have found this to be the best counsel to any situation. Repeating this really keeps you in a right perspective.
