I have been concerned as I meet children and young people (and even adults) that very few of them can quote Scriptures about salvation. I believe it is important for ourselves, and for our children, to be able to quote by heart these Scriptures. Can you quote Romans 6:23 right now?
I believe this is important for foundational teaching, but also to be able to lead someone to salvation in Jesus Christ.
The following are some foundational Scriptures which we should all know. They should not only be in our heart, but in our MOUTH (Isaiah 59:21). And we should know where they are found in the Bible. Why not start a memory program with your children and gradually learn the following Scriptures? I learned all of these Scriptures as a child and can still quote them today. Get your children learning them NOW, while they are young, and they will be prepared and ready to lead someone to Jesus. And you will, too.
Isaiah 53:5-7; Matthew 7:13-14; 21-23; John 1:12; 3:3; 3:16-17; 10:9-10; 14:6; 12:46; Acts 4:12; Romans 1:18; 3:23; 5:8; 6:23; 10:8-9, 13; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Timothy 2:5; Titus 3:5-6; Hebrews 9:27; 1 John 1:9; 5:11-12 and Revelation 3:20.
