TELLING YOUR CHILD ABOUT JESUS
Evangelism starts at home. Below are some practical steps to help you lead your children to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
1. Prayer for your children's salvation. Never too early to pray for your children. Elizabeth's 6 month's unborn child was recognizing Jesus the Savior when Mary visited, "the babe leaped in her womb for joy" (Luke 1:39-45)
2. Make a daily routine to pray for your children. Find best time to pray for your children. Let them hear your voice. Let them feel your hand on their forehand.
3. Dedicate your children to the Lord no matter how old they are. In 1 Samuel 1:28 Hannah dedicated Samuel, "I have also dedicated him to the Lord; as long as he lives he is dedicated to the Lord."
4. Don't decide for your children when they are old enough to accept Jesus Christ as Savior. You never know the last date and time of your children. Don't underestimate their ability to grasp spiritual truth.
5. Take every opportunity to talk about Jesus. Let your children hear the Word of God not only in Sunday School and church but also at home: "You shall teach them (words of God) to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up" (Deuteronomy 11:19)
6. Be a example. Demonstrate the reality of Jesus in your daily life. Let your children see your faith and obedience in His words.
7. Tell them your conversion story. Trust me. They won't bored to hear from you over and over again.
8. Encourage your children to tell others about Jesus. Allow them to see you telling others about Jesus as well.
