41 Bible Verses about Children For You (Recently Released)

As a little boy growing up in Sunday school, I didn't know that what I was learning would impact my life for the better 10 to 20 years later, but God knew what He was doing.

 He was planting seeds in my life. Today we have Bible verses about children.

And these Scriptures for kids that people sometimes call them (I choose to call them children because I don't want to associate a goat with a child) are here to help you train up your child in the way that he or she should go, as the Scripture says. Seeds of greatness can be planted in a child's life, even before they are born.

Raising Great Children

The seeds of greatness. I've found in God's Word, many Scriptures that you can share with your children. Even if you have a little child, God can do a work in him or her. You see, their lives can only be fulfilled through the Lord Jesus Christ, and by sowing seeds in your child's life, about God, salvation, and the Lord Jesus Christ, you place a deposit in them, that God can then use to bring about His glory and honor in your child's life. Our scriptures come from the New Testament and the Old Testament. You can use these as memory verses for your children.

In fact, if your Sunday School is looking for a memory verse page, this is the page for you. And it's our hope that by the power of the Holy Spirit, that your child, when your child comes to know the Lord Jesus Christ, would have eternal life, and that the Lord God Almighty by the power of His Holy Spirit, will make you the parent that your child needs. We pray that God by His Spirit will make you the Christian parent that your child needs.

The Holy Scripture is replete with texts or Bible verses about discipline, living right, obeying your parents, your father and your mother, and many other scriptures that your child should know. So our prayer is that greater joy is your portion as your child grows. And as the scripture in Proverbs says that one should heed his or her father's instruction may the Lord reveal scriptures concerning earthly things like education, finances and marriage. And may the Lord reveal spiritual things like, eternal life, healing, deliverance, salvation and repentance in Jesus' mighty name.

The Greatest Parent is God

The greatest parent we know is our Heavenly Father, who loves us, who sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ to die for our sins that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (John 3:16). It is our prayer that as you read these scriptures, and as you extract a memory verse or two for your child, God will be glorified in your life to the glory and honor of Christ Jesus, our Lord. Amen.
