Black BeadA black bead is on every salvation bracelet. The black bead represents the darkness of sin and how it alienates us from God. When we sin, God must judge us. To be saved, we must repent.
Red Bead
The red bead on the salvation bracelet represents the blood of Christ. Christians believe that Jesus Christ suffered on the cross, shed his blood and died for our sins. According to All About God.com, Jesus' disciple, Peter, contended that the blood and sacrifice of Jesus, God's son, was the greatest gift given to humanity.
White and blue Beads
In addition to the black and red beads are the white and blue beads. Both colors represent the spiritual cleansing that can only be achieved through a belief in Jesus. The white bead symbolizes Jesus' forgiveness and the blue bead is a reminder of Christ's sacrifice that we accept at baptism. According to Sunday School Network.com, the blue bead represents holy water that washes away sin.
Green Bead
The green bead on a salvation bracelet symbolizes faith. Green conjures up images of nature and the growth of trees, plants and grass from small seeds. Jesus commonly referred to the growth of the tiny mustard seed in many of his parables, and Heartlight.org explains that the growth of faith is a process that expands over time.
Gold Bead
Gold is considered by many to be the most valuable metal found on Earth. The gold bead on a salvation bracelet takes that perfection one step further as a reminder that when we die, we will spend eternity in the divine house of God.
