The Holy Bible
Children are a heritage from the Lord — arrows in a parent's hand, welcomed by Jesus himself. These Bible verses about children bless parents, grandparents, and every little one.
“Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate.”
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
“But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.””
“These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts. And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”
“For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and I know this very well.”
“Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”
“Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of a son is his father.”
“But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and told them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them, and blessed them.”
“Then all your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their prosperity.”
“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.”
“But from everlasting to everlasting the loving devotion of the LORD extends to those who fear Him, and His righteousness to their children’s children—”
“But as for you, continue in the things you have learned and firmly believed, since you know from whom you have learned them. From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.”
