Parents, this month we’ve talked a lot about faith and why kids need it. One of the biggest concerns I hear from parents about teaching faith to their kids is they are worried they don’t understand it well enough themselves.
Parents, this month we’ve talked a lot about faith and why kids need it. One of the biggest concerns I hear from parents about teaching faith to their kids is they are worried they don’t understand it well enough themselves. I understand that. Teaching your child about God, heaven, and hell, and what the scriptures say can be intimidating. But it is worth the courage it will take. God is good for kids, their self-esteem, their future success and nearly every single area of their lives.
And, you don’t have to get all yourself before teaching it to them. Simply reading a few verses of scripture with your child is all you need to do to start teaching your child how to love God, love others and how much God loves him.
In fact, I made this even easier for you. Below is a list of scriptures that are all self-explanatory and don’t require a degree in theology to understand. These passages will encourage your child, teach her how to treat others with love and kindness and they will instill a sense of value in her, explaining how much God loves her—what kids really need to know.
