Children Are A Gift From God Bible Verses
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.

[ad#float-right]
And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. “Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

So it is not the will of my Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father; and he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of David his father, and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Asherim, and the carved and the metal images.

(Psalms 115:14 ESV)
I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father.

(Galatians 4:1-5 ESV)

(2 Kings 2:22-24 Holy Bible ESV)

I seem to recall a verse dealing w/ God making up the evil of our youth. Do you know it?
I just wanted to say that your website made it easy for me to find verses for children. I went through 5 websites before I reached this one. It was a blessing for me to find. Thank you for the verses. God Bless.
thank you so much for making my work easy by providing me with the right verses for children at the right time . May God bless you abundantly.
is there no bible verses about loving the family?
My, 9 year old daughter is writing a speech about growing up in church, This website made it easier for her to search her Bible for scriptures.
I am wanting to have a baby. I was looking for scripture or promises from God on conceiving.
Hi Margo,
He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the LORD!
(Psalms 113:9 Holy Bible ESV)
“So you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.” (Exodus 23:25)
Isaiah 66:7
“Before the birth pains even begin, Jerusalem gives birth to a son.
8 Who has ever seen or heard of anything as strange as this? Has a nation ever been born in a single day? Has a country ever come forth in a mere moment? But by the time Jerusalem’s* birth pains begin, the baby will be born; the nation will come forth.1
9 Would I ever bring this nation to the point of birth and then not deliver it?” asks the LORD. “No! I would never keep this nation from being born,” says your God.
This is beautiful. Thank you.
I am looking for a bible verse about teaching children, something appropriate to embroider on an afghan for a teacher…any suggestions?
God Bless You !
I am searching for a Bible verse that explains that parent should respect their children and not abandon them ever. Can you please help me with this? My mother left me as a young child and try to come in and out of my life and I just want her to know that I miss her, but I’m hurt……
Here is a verse that is not so much for your mother, but may be helpful for you: “When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.” (Ps. 27:10)
I was looking for scriptures to prepare a message about children being a gift from God, and how raising them should be taken as a special assignment from our Heavenly Father. Your website was a blessing to me.
May God bless and keep you!
I’m looking for verses that will comfort parents of handicapped or sick children, and will provide hope for the children who are disabled.
Thank you for this website. This website helped me add the most important reference in my term paper, the Bible. My term paper is about why there should be prayer in public schools. Bless this website and the people who helped put it together.
Iam uplifted by the enormous support Ive received by various writers.
Iam in child care Ministry in the Rock of Delverance Church in Kampala Uganda and would like some education resources such as exchange visits for my ministry. please write to me about any possiblities
Winnie
Thank you.
Thanks a lot for all these informations. Since am a Children’s Church Teacher, am very much interested. May the Lord bless them abundantly those who are spending their time to put all these articles together. Remember there is also a time of harvest and now that what you’ve done was sowing be assured that you will reap.
I thank you these scriptures!!! Today I woke up, got myself and my 7month old ready, loaded her in the stroller and walked a mile in the rain to attend a new church I was very excited to try due to their children’s program!!! Upon entering this new church I was never welcomed, but asked if I was ‘new’ and then directed to the nursery… I stated the baby would sit with me and immediately was told “well then…if she cries you have to leave!!!” I looked at this ‘welcoming committee of one’ and said, “oh well we will leave now. She then tried to stop me and said we could try to see if the baby would be okay…I know my baby wouldn’t cry, and after 33 years of attending church I know when it is appropriate to step out… NOT LEAVE! I turned to her and said “Jesus told his disciples to bring the children to him, not turn them away! Think about what Jesus would do” and walked out and cried!!! I am not sending an e-mail to the church and I will be including many of these versus!!!! Children are a blessing from God Himself!!!
I’m sorry to hear about that experience. I pray that God will lead you to a church that values children.
Please keep trying a church and try to forgive this ‘UN welcoming person’ “Forgive them Father for they know not what they do” Giving your daughter the gift of a church family will bless her and you abundantly over the years. Take care.
there is nothing more distracting than a baby in church.
it’s unfair to those who are trying to listen…put the baby in the nursery…that is what it is there for!
“Where two or more are gathered in my name, so will I be” I believe this statement from GOD. If you do not find a welcoming church right away it’s OK, GOD will help you. Pick up the BIBLE and read to your baby,GOD will be there. And most of all be forgiving, it’s hard not to feel angry, but maybe GOD does not want you there. The best way to have a good relationship with GOD is to let HIM lead the way.
GOD BLESS
Laura
WOW, how sad that gorgeous babies aren’t welcome at that church. Please keep trying different churches, they are not all like that! Our church is very welcoming and we love children. I completely disagree with Sadie! Everyone should be welcome at a church. What is more distracting are judgmental people. You should be making everyone feel welcome at a church from the babies, children to the mothers and fathers to the widows/widowers to the homeless. Jesus was accepting of everyone. PLEASE keep searching for the right church who is accepting and loving. Don’t let judgmental people affect your relationship with our Wonderful LORD.
I’d like to encourage that lady to return to that church. I sincerely believe the ‘greeter’ meant for her to ‘leave’ the sanctuary, not the church itself. She just did not think before speaking how her comment would come across. I say give her and the church another chance. The ‘greeter’ is probably heartsick over what happened. The ‘greeter’ is not the only one in the church–besides, did you ever think that perhaps Satan set up that entire event? It worked—you left the building and won’t return and the ‘greeter’ is filled with remorse. Don’t give Satan the victory—return to the church and say ‘hello’ to the woman.
Thank you Joy for you comment, but Satan didn’t get victory! My family attends church every Sunday and love the church we attend. We visited this church b/c they came to our home and we accepted their invitation. I did communicate with the pastor at this church and I am very sad to say that THIS IS A RULE OF THEIR CONGREGATION! They do not allow children under a certain age in their worship service. And after further research I understand this is a rule of many congregations. Thank you all.
That is very interesting to hear, cause I have never heard of that before. All 3 of my kids from 5 days after they were born to present have been in worship service next to me. Every now and then they had to be placed in the nursery due to their high vocal range, lol. I am a big believer that children learn from their parents. And if they do not know how to act in service then that’s where you correct them right then & there.
i am a teenager going threw a little to much right now. my grandma gave a letter telling me tht i have a bad additude and used galations 6:7 as an example. i cant read her hand writing all tht well but wht i get from it is tht i am a brat and i need to change and its my step mom and dads fault for the way i am ever since i moved in with them about 2 months ago..i dont know wht to say back..she did say tht i do not have to write back but i feel like i need to get a point across tht i am not a brat but i am only a teen tht isnt from her time..i do and say exactly how i feel and wht i want and i feel there is no problem with it since i am being honest; trying not to be rude about it..
you dont have any verses tht i could use for my problem on here but if you could think of anything i would like to know.
thankyou
Jordan,
I first want to say that I applaud you for wanting to find out what God has to say about your situation. As a teen,understand that adults often times forget that they were once teenagers and had the exact same feelings. Because you are now coming into a stage in your life where you are exploring ylwho you are as a person and an adult,there will be a gap in understanding…I would like to help you research and ask god for the words to say to your family.
Jordan, as a parent and teacher, it sounds like the adults in your life must change their attitudes as well. However, the Bible does say that children should be respectful to their elders. You may have to take on a more adult role if you want respect, by saying, “Yes Ma’am” and “Yes Sir” and hoping this helps them see your humbleness. I hope they talk to you more respectfully and treat you like a gift from God, but if they don’t, God will help you learn how to be strong in the face of difficulty. Sometimes it is not easy, but we still must act according to how God wants us to act. Much love, Ms. Jennifer
Hi. I am a preschool teacher at a Christian center. I would like to know my biblical roles and responsibilities to the children and their parents. I’ve looked through the bible and even through some websites. Looking through these comments, questions and answers, I feel as though I came to the right place. Could someone help with bible verses? Thx.
Looking for bible verses, of hope, fear, strength, and courage. As I watch my 3yr old suffer with disases. I only have my faith left, and as I feel it waiver… I need scriptures to help me hold on.
Its just lovely to know there is a website like this infact God bless every brain behind this. I Luv u all, i wish i can say more God bless you again and again. I wish to get a bible text on this theme children, gifts to harness. Byeeeeeee
Hello, I was wondering which Bible verse includes the verse that a child shall lead them? I believe it is with one that includes the peace of being w/ the lion and the lamb.
Thanks!
Great question. It’s Isaiah 11:6. I’m going to add it to the list.
My son is graduating highschool and in his annual I have written some things but wanted to leave him a scripture for this , any help with this would be great thank you
Wonderful, thank you Mr. Kummer! His message was clear and repeated by four separate witnesses that the hope for humanity then and in these last days is to take on the example of the youth. In a child’s world a lion can be at peace with a lamb. And for us to also be examples of Christ’s mercy, love, and respect to our children, we’ll join the rapture with the little ones when the prophecies of the end have finally passed.
Thanks again and God bless you brother!
I am doing a memorial service for a 13-year-old boy, only child of his parents. Was looking for a Biblical verse that would sum up life / children in the arms of Jesus / comfort / strength — all relating to children and Jesus. Hope I am clear. Thanks for your help.
Thank you for help.
Great info thanks for looking these up for us!
God Bless!
Can you please give me verses that we will be or are called “children of God.” Thank you
1 John 3:2 ESV
Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.
1 John 3:1 behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us. That we should be called the sons of God.
Would appreciate if you could recommend a website / book of prayers that touch upon daily life for teenagers. It could have morning and evening prayers. We read the Proverbs / Psalms every morning before they go to school and college, and this is accompanied by a prayer.
Is there any scripture indicating that children too young to know right from wrong are innocent of sinful behavior?
Two examples come to mind:
The first is the Hebrews children who were allowed to enter the promised land after the Exodus, while their parents generation died in the wilderness for their unbelief.
The second is a Hebrew idiom at the end of Jonah where the children (don’t know their right from their left) are one reason why God had mercy on Ninevah.
please give the biblical text from where this quotation is got ‘ when the fullness of time came God sent His only son born of a woman a subject of the law to redeem the subjects of the law’
Gal 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
i have a three year old and i recently dedicated her, i also have a three year old niece and my sister in law is not quite sure if she wants to dedicate her daughter or baptize her daughter in the cathlic church, she thinks that if you do not baptize your baby in water they will go to hell. what can i tell her or show her in scripture about this certain topic.
I would start with the main facts of the Gospel. Something like http://www.matthiasmedia.com.au/2wtl/ would be a great start.
HEY I AM CURRENTLY PREGNANT AND I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WERE ANY BIBLE VERSES THAT TELL THE JOY OF BEARING A CHILD AND THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE THAT GROWS AS THE BABY GROWS.

Here are some Bible referenced on the topic of barrenness .
is there not a bible verse about teaching?????
My Daughter is thinking of abortion, because the baby may have down syndrom, can you give me some verses that teach that childern are a gift from God?
Several of these Bible verses speak to the value of kids in God’s eyes, but I would also recommend this website:
http://www.abort73.com/
Rebecca,
please have your daughter email me. My son was born in November. At 13 weeks pregnant with a VERY unexpected pregnancy I was told my baby would have a genetic disorder. At 15 weeks I learned it would be down syndrome and in addition he would have a severe heart defect. I was told many times that abortion was the “easier” or “cheaper” way to deal with this. Not only by doctors but by others in my life as well. I always knew my son was special and deserved to be held at least one time. I was told through out my pregnancy and the day he was born that he would not live more than 48 hours. He’s almost 9 weeks old now. He has a special soul that has reached out to literally thousands of people across the country through friends, family, friends of friends and family. So many people who have never seen him pray from him daily. He is a blessing so many never would have known had I not been strong enough to stand up for him. He was a gift God gave to me and you can’t just dismiss that kind of thing. I’d love to talk to her and share my experience with her.
“The Lord gives and the Lord takes away” Job 1:21
Children are a gift from God, fully healthy or not. Had he not wanted your daughter to have this baby with this specific issue, he would not have given it to her. If he chooses to take the Child’s life, let him do so. But her “decision” may be impeeding on what God’s role is regarding our life and gifts from him.
I entered my email address but it didn’t show up so here it is:
melissasahlmann@yahoo.com. I’m also on Facebook.
My daughter’s 3 1/2 month old baby died while in a babysitter’s care. The babysitter was found to be neglectful. This was the last day that he would have had to be at the babysitters since it was his father’s last day of working at a temp job. He was just 4 hours away from being safe and still alive. I don’t know how to comfort her or what bible passages to use to help her when she is missing her baby. PLease help me find something that will help her know that her sweet baby boy is where he should be, with God.
This website is dedicated to our child we lost due to an unthinkable accident. It is worth a visit to those hurting over the loss of their own child.

I am looking for bible verses that comforts a child, who’s mom has just passed away! I need some comforting words to give my Mom so she can read and share with my neice, my sister had a tragic death last night! As a family we are smiling even though our hearts are aching!!!
Please remember us in your Prayers… her name is Leela Brown!!!
Thanks,
I am wondering if there is anywhere in the Bible that supports giving children chores to do? Does anyone know of any? please let me know.
Dear Jennifer,
There are some very helpful scriptures in DEUTERONOMY 7.
The essence is “The rewards of obedience”. Another is the stories of king David when he was young.He would tend his fathers’ flock and sing songs of praise to the LORD. Also JESUS was taught at a young age to be a carpenter(our HOLY SAVIOR did chores and worked for a living). A child must learn to enjoy work. To enjoy the fruit of their labor. I also do not think children should be paid to do weekly chores “it’s called responsibility”.I believe they should get “REWARDS” BUT NOT MONEY. If they need money then they should do extra things like wash the car, clean the windows ect.If a child’s chores are not done they should lose their privileges(not all, but some).
I hope this has been helpful and remember not everyone is going to agree with your ways, just remember to seek GOD first in all your decisions.
GOD BLESS
Laura
I am looking for a bible verse that could be used to lift sick of disabled children up? Any thoughts? thanks!
Dear Morgan,
In PSALMS 34 there are some very powerful words about the LORDS deliverance, they might apply to your situation.
I hope it helps.
GOD BLESS
Laura
for those who want to know if children go to heaven read 2samuel 12:22-23
There is not one word in those verses that state children go to heaven. It is dangerous to say so. Think of this: If you are of the understanding that all children go to heaven, then you set sicko’s up for killing babies and children in the name of ‘sending them to heaven’. I can hear it now “my child is mean to animals, so I killed him/her to prevent him/her from growing up to be the next Hitler” Instead, trust God. He knows all things. Including whether or not that person would have been saved if they had lived to reach adulthood. I am not saying children don’t go to heaven I am saying that there is no specific verse about it and I am tired of people taking verses out of context when they should be trusting God in His wisdom to do as He pleases with children who die. ~ I do have a leg to stand on, my daughter was murdered.
I really thank God for you and the information you have put together on this website for so many of us. One of the scriptures that I think is excellent for children to learn, especially teenagers since it is such a “challenging” time in life is I Timothy 4:12- “Let no man despise thy youth, but be thou an example of the believers, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” I know that God will continue to bless us all as we continue to diligently seek Him!
Dear Tommy Kummer:
I wish to say how thankful I am for receiving your newsletter. IDue to my busy schedule, its not always possible for me to read all the articles, but whenever I set the time to read, I try to understand what your Ministry is trying to do. Your articles and information are very enlightening to me, and I am kept abreast with improvements in Children’s Ministry. Many thanks for the videos Tommy. The practical examples do help to develop and strengthen the Children’s Ministry. I will continue to educate myself to teach better.
Many thanks to you and the other persons involved who make sacrifices to have this website available.
Love in Christ

A friend of mine lost her baby just before her third trimester. She and her husband are having a hard time with the loss, and are searching for verification that the child is in heaven. Does anyone know of a scripture that may leave them with their questions answered?
God Bless,

When David’s son died after he fasted for 7 days, ( the first son he had with Bathsheba), he said something like, ” I will go to him, but he cannot come back to me.” This insinuates that when David dies, he will go to the child, but right now, the child cannot come back to him.
2 Samuel 12
22 And he said, “While the child was alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who can tell whether the LORD[a] will be gracious to me, that the child may live?’ 23 But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.”
Thank You! My grandson was just born and I’m doing a church bulletin board with pictures of him, mom and dad and the family supporting them while in labor. I figured this would be easier than people trying to look through 43 pictures in a stack.
I was looking for verses about babies and children to surround the pictures with.
This is perfect!!
I’m a missionary in Thailand. I teach Sunday School and being in a very different culture, it can some times be difficult to find scriptures that I can apply with in their culture and life style.
Today I was looking for scriptures on listening and humility.
Praise God I found them here. Thank you, I’m sure I will return at a later date.
I’m a Sunday School Teacher in a local Church in the Greater London area. we are preparing the children for children’s day. I was looking for scriptures about children specifically and found these ones on your site. I am happy to have found them and know they will prove to be very useful, so thank you.
Here is a scripture i think i didn’t see above: –
“All your sons will taught by the LORD and great will be your children’s peace”
Isaiah 54: 13 NIV
Can I ask if there is something in the Bible indicating an ‘order’ of love regarding spouse vrs. child? I was always under the impression one’s child comes first, yet my spouse indicates it is the spouse. Can you shed any light on any passgaes that may lead us?
According to Ephesians 5:22-32… As a husband, you are called to love your wife as Christ loves the church and to sacrifice yourself for her. Moreover, the wife is to submit to her husband in everything. The high calling of sacrifice, love and respect that is placed on the spouse relationship reflects the love relationship the Chruch has with God. It seems to be unique in that this level of sacrifice/love/respect is not quite comparable (with the same intensity) to any other earthly relationship, even with the parent/child relationship. Also note that the husband and wife become “one flesh” through marriage. This again is a unique closeness that only husband/wife experience. Children will never be tied that close to their parents… instead they will leave them and be joined to a spouse of their own to love and respect. Hopefully as children watch their parents great love and service toward one another as “one flesh”, they will better understand the relationship God desires to have with them and desire for them to have with their future spouse.
Hope this helps!
Thanks so much for the resources. God bless and increase you abundantly
I want a quote about a child being a gift from GOD! Can someone help me?
Thanks, Ashlee
Very useful. Thanks.
Sandie; How about the little ones that will NEVER be in Church? This should be your distraction.
Sandie…. you act if church is for you…. here’s a shocker… it’s not, it’s for GOD! You are there to worship Him! Check yourself my Christian sister… where is your heart? God centered or self-centered?
Yes babies are a distraction, but it only makes one focus more on what is being said when you have to listen closely. How does a little one learn when and how to be reverent without that experience? Buck up and learn some patience. Maybe you could help mom keep the baby entertained and quiet. And in my opinion if moms and dads could take care of their children during worship then someone else wouldn’t have to miss out on service for the convienence of others.
Sandie- There is no church if children are not in the middle of it! The church is family- and a family dies without children and delights when they are close! I pray that God would distract us regularly with children. Nurseries are for gardenening, bring the children to church!
