Children are the most impressionable stage of human life. The Bible emphasizes repeatedly that the Word of God must be planted early, because what is sown in childhood often determines the harvest in adulthood. “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). Foundations of Faith Bible study for children is about building foundations. Just as a house cannot stand without a strong base, a child’s spiritual life cannot flourish without early exposure to God’s Word. Moses commanded Israel: “These words… thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way” (Deuteronomy 6:6–7). This shows that Bible study is not occasional but daily, woven into routines. Protection Against Sin Psalm 119:11 declares: “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Children who memorize scripture learn to resist temptation. When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He answered with scripture (Matthew 4:4). Teaching children to study and recite scripture equips them to answer temptation with truth. Wisdom for Salvation Paul reminded Timothy: “From a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation” (2 Timothy 3:15). Bible study makes children wise, not just academically but spiritually. It teaches them the story of salvation, the love of Christ, and the hope of eternal life. Practical Benefits Moral clarity: Children learn right from wrong. Obedience: They understand why obedience matters. Confidence: They know God is their friend and protector. Identity: They see themselves as part of God’s family. Examples in Scripture Samuel — As a child, he heard God’s voice (1 Samuel 3:1–10). Josiah — Became king at eight years old and sought the Lord (2 Kings 22:1–2). Jesus — At twelve, He was found in the temple, studying scripture (Luke 2:46–47). Real‑World Application Bible study for children today can be interactive: songs, memory verses, illustrated stories, and family devotion times. It builds habits that last a lifetime. When children learn to love God’s Word, they grow into adults who stand firm in faith. Conclusion: Bible study for children is about planting seeds of faith, protecting against sin, and preparing them for salvation. It is the most important foundation parents and teachers can give.
