Parenting- Day 63

2 Timothy 3:14-15 

14 But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught. You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you.15 You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus.

BIBLE STUDY FOR KIDS

Timothy was raised in a godly home by a mother and grandmother who taught him the Scriptures. He was surrounded by the Word "from infancy" in preparation for the time when Paul would lead him to salvation through Christ. This early immersion in the Word of God prepared him for the message of Jesus.

It's never too early for your kids to start learning the Bible. There are excellent storybooks with pictures for the very young and more sophisticated versions for older kids. Eventually they can graduate to owning a Bible of their own. In fact the early years are some of the most productive, because your children will be excited to learn from you. Make an effort to lovingly introduce Scripture when your kids are young. This time doesn't last forever, and it is a lot harder to do when they get into the teenage years.

It is never too early to start a Bible study with your kids.
