Why We Should Read the Bible at Home with Our Children

 

            Christian author and pastor Voddie Baucham gives four reasons why reading the Bible to our children at home is so critical to passing along to them a “sincere faith” (2 Timothy 1:5):

 

1.       “First, the Bible is the very word of God” (2 Timothy 3:16).

2.       “Second, the Bible is God’s primary tool in preparing us for life of godliness and service” (2 Timothy 3:17).

3.       “Third, the Bible is an agent by which God conforms us to the very image of Christ” (2 Peter 1:4).

4.       “Fourth, the Bible is a change agent” (Hebrews 4:12).
