Teaching Children to Follow Jesus

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 7-day Bible study plan focused on teaching children to follow Jesus. As parents, guardians, and spiritual mentors, we have the God-given responsibility and privilege to guide the next generation in faith. Children are not only the future of the church but also present recipients of God's love and truth. Building a biblical foundation for salvation, prayer, and spiritual growth early in life cultivates a lifelong relationship with Christ.

Through Scripture, we see numerous examples of how families and communities intentionally nurtured faith in children. The Psalmist declares, “I will teach your statutes to my children” (Psalm 78:5), and Jesus Himself welcomed and blessed children, emphasizing their value in the kingdom of heaven (Mark 10:14). Teaching kids about salvation—their need for a Savior and trusting Jesus personally—grounds their faith. Equally important is developing practices like prayer, reading Scripture, and loving others, which foster spiritual growth day by day.

Each day in this study focuses on vital themes and practical ways to impart these truths to children. You will find key Scriptures to meditate on, supportive verses that expand the ideas, and thoughtful devotionals to encourage intentionality in your teaching. Reflection questions provoke deep thought about how to model and communicate God’s love effectively, while journaling prompts help process your own faith journey as you lead little ones.

Whether you are a parent, grandparent, teacher, or ministry leader, this study invites you to partner with God in shaping young hearts for Christ. Let’s embrace the call to be faithful mentors, guiding children to experience salvation, cultivate prayer, and grow spiritually in Jesus’ name. May this time enrich your family’s walk with God and empower you to lovingly shepherd those entrusted to your care.
