Spurgeon’s concept only contained three colors: “first was black, the second was red, and the third was pure white” * Black: representing the “sinful state” of humanity “by nature”. Usually referred to as the dark page. * Red: representing the blood of Jesus. * White: representing the “perfect righteousness which God has given to believers through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ his Son”. By 1880 at least, the book was being widely used in evangelism among orphanages, Sunday schools, and in cross-cultural missions.

  • Spurgeon’s concept only contained three colors: “first was black, the second was red, and the third was pure white” * Black: representing the “sinful state” of humanity “by nature”. Usually referred to as the dark page. * Red: representing the blood of Jesus. * White: representing the “perfect righteousness which God has given to believers through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ his Son”. By 1880 at least, the book was being widely used in evangelism among orphanages, Sunday schools, and in cross-cultural missions. Different versions came about when Dwight Lyman Moody added another color: gold (after white) – representing Heaven - in 1875. Hudson Taylor and missionaries of the China Inland Mission used the four color version in open-air preaching and individual evangelism. It has been used by missionaries and teachers such as Jennie Faulding Taylor, Amy Carmichael, Fanny Crosby (who was blind), and modern day Child Evangelism Fellowship which added a fifth color: green (after white, before gold) - representing one's need to grow in Christ after salvation. Some modern Baptists add a sixth color: blue (after white, before green) - representing baptism.
