Explained for Children

Imagine if someone kept telling you that the sky was going to fall, and you believed them. But then, a real friend comes and says, 'Don't listen to them; they are just playing tricks. I'm here to keep you safe and show you the truth.' That's what God is doing here, telling the people not to listen to those who tell lies and promising to protect them.
