Deuteronomy 6:7 informs parents that they must diligently teach God’s commandments to their children and consistently speak of such things. Bible study is one important spiritual discipline that will make a significant impact on kids as they begin to follow and navigate their own faith journey. There are plenty of verses that are focused on children themselves, provide instructions and advice on day-to-day living, introduce readers to (or remind them of) the love and patience of Christ, declare promises for believers, and so much more. Whether you had kids knowing that you wanted to raise them in a Christian home, or if you’re starting to incorporate faith into your daily routine and are looking for ways to get your little ones involved, these Bible verses for children are perfect for memorization/study, applying to everyday life situations, and developing a closer relationship with Jesus. As the popular children’s Sunday school song explains, “Read your Bible, pray every day, and you’ll grow, grow, grow!”
