He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?" - Romans 8:32

Key Bible Themes to Teach Children

Sally Michael of Children Desiring God & Bethlehem Baptist Church writes about key themes to teach your children. Even if you are like me, not yet a parent, these are good things to be thinking about, and if you are, it is helpful to keep in mind that children can soak in much more doctrine than we probably tend to think.

GOD IS THE ONE TRUE GOD
GOD MADE EVERYTHING
GOD IS THE MAKER AND OWNER OF ALL THINGS
GOD IS GREATER THAN ANYONE (God is the greatest there is!)
GOD IS IN CHARGE OF EVERYTHING ( He is the boss of everything)
GOD CAN DO ANYTHING (Nothing is too hard for God)
GOD DOESN'T NEED ANYTHING
GOD IS HOLY (God has never sinned and never will sin. not even one time)
GOD HATES SIN BECAUSE HE IS HOLY
GOD IS EVERYWHERE
GOD IS GOOD
GOD NEVER CHANGES
GOD IS FAITHFUL ( He always does what He says He will do; God always keeps His
promises)
GOD IS MERCIFUL ( He is kind and loving)
GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING
EVERY PERSON IS A SINNER
SIN MUST BE PUNISHED
THE PUNISHMENT FOR SIN IS DEATH
GOD IS JUST ( God is right in all He does; God is "fair")
FAITH PLEASES GOD
GOD COMMUNICATES WITH MAN (God speaks to us)
SATAN IS GOD'S ENEMY
SATAN HATES GOD AND FIGHTS AGAINST GOD
SATAN IS A LIAR
JESUS IS MY FRIEND
JESUS/GOD HEARS US WHEN WE PRAY

THE FOLLOWING THEMES MAY BE EASIER FOR OLDER PRESCHOOLERS TO
UNDERSTAND:

GOD IS A TRINITY (God is three persons in one person; God the Father is God, Jesus is
God, the Holy Spirit is God)
GOD IS ETERNAL (God has no beginning or ending)
GOD IS SPIRIT (God does not have a body like us)
