Why Learn God’s Word from a Young Age?
Learning God’s Word from a young age is essential because the Holy Bible teaches children about God’s love, guides them in what is right and wrong, and gives them hope and comfort. When children know and memorize Scripture, it shapes their thoughts, actions, and hearts, helping them make wise choices and build a strong foundation of faith in Jesus for life.
