Why is it important to teach Scripture to children?
-
It is important to train children up in the way that they should go, so that they know the Truth, and will not depart from it. We plant the seeds and we shape their Biblical worldview, so that when times are hard and the world throws its secular truth on them, they will know right from wrong.
-
Scripture is the inerrant Word of God, and in the beginning the Word was God, Jesus gave us his inerrant Word and changed not one bit of it when He was preaching on earth. Jesus also warned in Revelation about changing or adding or taking away from the Word. The Bible also talks about the hearing of the Word, (Romans 10:17) and the students should not only hear the Word, but they should also be taught hermeneutics so that they not only understand their faith and are able to make it their own, but they are also “tooled up” to defend their faith in the world and university where the truth of the Bible is under attack. Don’t just read it, teach it.

Because you’re planting the seed. It may not bloom for years but the beginning is there. Even if they choose to walk away, God has written eternity on all man’s heart and if you have planted seeds and pointed them in the direction they should go, then they are much more likely to return.
-
We have to teach scripture to children because it is God’s word. It is truth. We have to teach them doctrine to combat this world of tolerance.
-
Scripture is truth, and it is vital that children learn this early in life. This will guide them through their entire lives.
