Why is it important to teach Scripture to children?
-
Scripture tells us with is true and points to the Truth. (John 5: 39). The Truth is Jesus Christ. (John 14:6). We are made by Him and for Him, and therefore accountable to Him. (Colossians 1: 15 – 16). We find our purpose in the One who has made us. We have our true lives caught up and sustained with His. Our children, if alienated from the Scripture, will be alienated from what is true, the Truth, their purpose, and life itself. (John 1: 4; Colossians 1: 15 – 16, and John 14:6).
-
At an early age we must begin to teach our children the importance of reading scripture. Scripture is God’s word, therefore it is the truth, so of course we what our children to read and know the truth. This is one of the simplest concepts in being a follower of Jesus Christ. I believe it’s impossible to know Him if you don’t know His word.
-
Knowing that the word of God is truth and not just a story book means that everything we believe is based on that infallible truth. We must make sure that children know the word so well that it is hidden in their hearts and will be able to stand upon the truths of the word every day and in every situation.
-
It is important to teach children scripture because the Bible is our guide book of life. It’s God’s word which we know is the truth. There are so many answers in scripture and so many good lessons to learn by looking at scripture.
-
Scripture is truth. If kids have truth, they will grow up to be adults who know truth.
