If I were to ask you to tell me all of the Bible verses and stories that you remember off of the top of your head, what would you say? Would the majority of these be from recent study or childhood? Although everyone’s stories are different, many of us grew up learning about Jesus and the Bible from our parents and our churches. Perhaps you were in a Christian school where there was an entire class dedicated to Scripture memory? As much as I dreaded those quizzes sometimes, I have God’s Word hidden in my heart because of them.
Today, we are going to address why Biblical literacy is so important for children.
Making English Fun shares: “Children lay down implicit or automatic memories from birth. Only when the brain develops from ages two to six can children make explicit long-term memories. … Between two and seven years, childrens brains go through a critical period of growth…the childs brains learn faster than at any other time of life.”
Think back to VBS, your favorite church songs, or that Bible verse song that you can always sing. For me, I know the fruit of the Spirit by heart because I learned a song about it in the 2nd grade. I can always go back to that song as I am quoting or trying to remember.
Are you pregnant? Did you just have a baby? My husband and I started reading Bible stories over our son from the Jesus Storybook Bible in the womb. We have sung Christian songs over him and now that he is 6 months old, we have spent many days singing along to Bible verse songs and reading stories. Sometimes this feels like he is barely retaining anything, yet these are the most important things we can be doing with him. We are investing in his young mind.
He is a cross pendant.
He is engraved with a unique Number.
He will mail it out from Jerusalem.
He will be sent to your Side.
Emmanuel
