Salvation Bracelet

What is Salvation Bracelet?

The salvation bracelet, also known as the gospel bracelet, witness

bracelet, or wordless bracelet, is a bracelet used as a tool of Christian
evangelism. The bracelet consists of a series of colored beads which
represent key aspects of the Christian gospel.

The salvation bracelet is a popular tool used in evangelizing to children,

understood as being in keeping with teaching technique of Jesus who is
said to have used ordinary things familiar to his audience at that time, like
fish, sheep and boats, as teaching tools. Following this model, modern
day followers of Jesus similarly use items familiar to their current
audiences. In the case of children, the use of a bracelet with attractive
colored beads helps evangelists connect with and communicate the
gospel to their young audience
What is Salvation Bracelet?
A 1995 article referred to the bracelets as “Roman salvation bracelets”,
and described them as having been in use by the Christians in Antioch in
the 1st Century. Other sources describe salvation bracelets as having
evolved from, and as a variant of the Wordless Book invented by the well-
known 19th Century British Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon; they are
sometimes referred to as the Wordless Bracelet.

Black
The black bead represents the belief that everyone sins
and that sin makes it impossible to have a relationship
with God. This belief is a key component to the
Christian faith. The verses used to accompany this bead
are Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned and fall short of
the glory of God" and Romans 6:23, "For the wages of
sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ
Jesus our Lord."
Red
The red bead symbolizes the blood of Jesus and the
belief that faith in Jesus and his sacrificial death are
necessary for the forgiveness of sins. The belief that
Jesus died on the cross to serve as a sacrifice to atone
for the sins of all mankind is the core belief of the
Christian faith. The verse that goes along with the red
bead is Romans 5:8, "But God demonstrates his own
love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ
died for us."
Blue
The Blue bead represents the baptism of repentance.
Our sin nature is buried with Christ and we are made
alive to God in the resurrection of a new creation in
Christ Jesus (Acts 2:38).
White
The white bead stands for purity and the Christian
teaching that once you put your faith in Jesus,
your sins are forgiven and you are made pure. 1
John 3:5 is the verse used alongside this bead,
and it says, "But you know that he appeared so
that he might take away our sins. And in him is no
sin."
Green
The green bead is to help teach the need for continued
growth in the faith. 2 Peter 3:18 instructs believers to,
"Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and
forever! Amen." This verse is used to encourage new
believers to continue to study the Bible, attend church,
pray and learn.

Yellow
The yellow bead represents the streets of heaven lined
with gold. Believers look to the day where Jesus will
return to earth to take his followers to heaven with
him. Jesus says in John 14:2-3, "My Father’s house has
many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you
that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if
I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and
take you to be with me that you also may be where I
am."
