Teaching Your Kids To Love The Bible

"Teach these words of mine to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." Deuteronomy 11:19

A love for God’s Word is a precious gift we can pass on to our children. With the omnipresence of technology, how can we instill this love in the hearts of our young ones? Here are some practical steps you can take to guide your children towards a lifelong love for the Bible.

Regular Bible Reading

It’s often said that a love for God’s Word is more caught than taught. Allow your children to see you engaged with the Bible every day.

Take Action: Make Bible reading a regular part of your family routine – not just during Christmas or Easter, but every day.

Narrating Bible Stories

Stories captivate young minds, and the Bible is full of them. Share different biblical stories each day and make it engaging by reading with emotion from modern translations.

Take Action: From the ark of Noah to the resurrection of Christ, engage your kids with a variety of compelling Bible stories.

Memorizing Scripture

Children’s memory skills are phenomenal. Help them utilize this skill by memorizing one verse together each week.

Take Action: Create a fun and interactive memorization plan for learning scriptures. Develop a reward system for when they successfully memorize verses.

Begin Now

The best time to start instilling a love for God’s Word in your kids is today! Whether they are newborns or 10 years old, it is never too early to give them this foundation for their lives.

Take Action: This week, start taking concrete steps to help your children develop a love for the Scriptures. Read a Bible story together before bedtime and point out one thing that you learned from the story. Then simply pray together.
