Bible quotes on growing up11/18/2023 “From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus.”( 2 Timothy 3:15 WEB) “Let no man despise your youth but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.” ( 1 Tim. “Fathers, don’t provoke your children, so that they won’t be discouraged.”( Col. “’Honor your father and mother,’ which is the first commandment with a promise:” ( Eph. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.” ( Mark 10:13-14 KJV)ħ. “And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.’”( Matthew 18:2-4 KJV)Ħ. “And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. “And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord and great shall be the peace of thy children. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them…” ( Psalm 127:3-5a WEB)Ĥ. “Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward.As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth. “From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength,because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.”( Psalm 8:2 WEB)ģ. “These words, which I command you today, shall be on your heart and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.”( Deut. Promises and power are intertwined through many of them. Scripture contains many verses and passages about children. Even when kids are growing up, their decisions impact much. Read Psalm 105:8 to encounter the magnitude and hope of righteous decisions and how they thread hope into our lineage.Īs a parent, I’ve already started praying for my grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and future generations. Study the childhood and adult stories of Samuel or David to see the impact. Our decisions, even those made as we mature, impact others. Life, however, offers much more when we focus on Christ versus self. Selfishness and pride sneak into the hearts of children and adults who are growing in their faith. Sometimes our world circles around “me, myself, and I.” Perhaps you fight this, too? It remains free, and our Father longs to bathe us-even the spiritually and physically young among us-in His overcoming love. It overcomes the grip of sin and death, assuring hope for eternity in heaven. I memorized this Scripture-my first memory verse ever-as a young elementary student. John 3:16 assures that God so loved the world that he gave Jesus-a gift to all, whether young or old, spiritually mature or immature. He overcame sin for us so that we might live in the love and safety of heaven and presence of the Almighty forever. We hold hope because of Jesus’ love and sacrifice. Love Never FailsĬall sin real, but love overcomes it never fails. Thank You, Jesus! How wise our children are when they understand this need. Sin is the reason Jesus roamed the earth, and it’s why we have need of a Savior and His forgiveness. The battle of good and evil remains real-even in youngsters. My parents exemplified honesty, but somehow unrighteousness rolled right off my tongue. I lied-not often, but I slipped tales into conversation to save my tail from time to time. (See Psalm 51:5, Romans 5:12, and Romans 3:23 for more.) I think about my own childhood. As sweet and innocent as youngsters appear, sin mingles within the stories of those growing up, too.
