Here are 5 Great Stories from the Bible for Children to Study
Teach Your Children – Deuteronomy 6
If we parents don’t teach our children, they’ll learn things from someone else, so we are admonished, “You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise” (Deuteronomy 6:7). This means when they get up, when they go to bed, when they are traveling with you, or sitting at home with you. Nature abhors a vacuum, so which will fill that vacuum? Will it be the ways of the Lord, or the ways of the world?
Discipline and Love – Hebrews 12
I do not believe we can separate love from discipline. The opposite of love is not hate…it is indifference. Scripture connects love and discipline, since “the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives” (Hebrews 12:6). If we’re left without discipline from the Lord, we are not the children of the Lord (Hebrews 12:7-8). Tell your children that discipline is motivated out of love, not revenge or anger.
Honoring Parents – Ephesians 6
Children must be taught to obey their parents, and to honor them. This is the very first commandment that connects long life with obedience (Ephesians 6:2). Paul says it is so “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land” (Ephesians 6:3). It doesn’t say honor them if they deserve it. There are no qualifications or conditions set upon this command.
God is a Giver – John 6
God loved us first; He made the first move, so we should recognize that we did not save ourselves, but God called us to Himself through Christ (John 6:44), and that was only possible because “God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). God gave the most so we could have the most…eternal life. Our children must never forget that.
The Golden Rule – Luke 6
It is sometimes called the “golden rule” to treat others in the same way that you would wish to be treated. It does not mean that if they treat us badly, we should do the same. Jesus said, “as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them” (Luke 6:31), so that means to even “Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you” (Luke 6:27).
Start Reading to Children Early
If children do not have the Word of God read to them at an early age, they may grow to have an aversion to it. If you start early, they may begin to have a hunger for the Word, but a famine of the Word in the home will produce a spiritual famine in the child.
The Word of God is powerful and when a child studies it, their study or reading of it will have an impact (Isaiah 55:11), so suggest these Bible verses to your children in the hopes that they might read them, and then share these with any other parents or grandparents you know. I think they’ll love them.
