Why is it important to teach Scripture to children?
-
It is important to teach Scripture to children because it is the Word of God. Nothing is more true in this world. In order to have a relationship with God, we need to be in His Word so that we can know Him; so that we can know what He loves and know what He doesn’t love so that we can live our lives for Him. “All Scripture is given be inspirations of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for corrections, and for instruction of righteousness.” We need to teach our children this so that they can live their life with the purpose that God imparted onto them.

So they are aware of the Truth and can live Christ-like lives.

Teaching scripture is one of the most important gifts we can give to our students. It is the gift of truth and love, from our Heavenly Father.

It is important to teach scripture so that children build their philosophy on solid truth, receive reproof/correction and learn about righteousness so that they may turn to Him in times of struggle.

I truly believe that the scripture and lessons we learn as a child are the ones that stick with us the longest. Those lessons come to mind as the Holy Spirit directs, when we most need them. God whispers the scripture into our hearts and minds when it’s the right time and if we apply it, we can learn to make the choice that would best honor God.
