Why is it important to teach Scripture to children?
-
It is important to teach scripture to children so that they may become equipped with tools. My children grew up going to Awana and served in this program for many years. It is such a wonderful program that I am so thankful for because they created an environment that was fun for kids, but at the same time taught how important scripture memorization was so that we can bury the word of God in our hearts and to always be ready to give an answer for the hope that we have.

All Scripture is inspired by God. If we want to grow in our knowledge and love for God, we need to read His word. God reveals Himself through the Bible. We will learn the character and nature of God by being in His word consistently. As children learn the value of Scripture and memorize Scripture, they will be building their belief system and worldview on truth rather than based on society and lies.

The bible is our road map to life. It tells us how to steer our lives to glorify God. We need to start teaching it to children at a very early age so they also know how to live righteously.

It is a dark immortal world that we are living in. As a follow of Christ, we are the ones that are to take the light to the world, Matt. 15:16. We need to help children understand that the Word of God is a light for them that illuminates and clearifies. That it is as Psalm 119:105 says, a light unto our path. Students need to know where to go for answers to life and their spiritual concerns.

Scripture provides the Truth. Therefore, the only way to teach Truth to children is using Scripture!
