![]() ![]() It is a good, solid verse to memorize and hold onto as a reminder that when everything feels out of control in life and can feel like it is changing by the day, especially in the present culture. This verse is catchy as well and is one that is great for when things get hard. HEBREWS 13:8 - "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." The first part of the verse also has a catchy line that is used throughout poems and novels as well, “In the beginning,” which makes it easy for kids to catch onto and remember.ħ. It gets down to the core of where everything began. The very first verse in the Bible is a classic and is short as well. GENESIS 1:1 - "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." It is short, to the point, and while most of Scripture does not address “children” specifically, this verse speaks directly to them.Ħ. In the same chapter of Colossians, there is another great verse that solidifies a parent’s authority in a kid’s life. COLOSSIANS 3:20 - "Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord." It is a great, short verse and an action that kids can put into practice in real life for themselves. The things kids fill their minds with as children will follow them into adulthood, and this verse is so helpful to explain what they need to think about, even at a young age.ĥ. Paul writes here, in a letter to the people of Colossae, instructions on how to live as those made alive in Christ. COLOSSIANS 3:2 - "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." The verse is short, simple, and presents a clear answer to a question that may be asked by a non-believer who is curious about salvation.Ĥ. In Acts 16:30, the jailer says, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”. The jailer asks what many kids may end up asking as well. Paul writes what he and Silas are explaining to a jailer about salvation. ACTS 16:31 - "They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household.'” It also makes sense - sometimes Scripture can seem to use a lot of words, and feel hard to understand - but this verse plain and simple, explaining why we love at all.ģ. In this profound verse, John is writing to Christians, and he does a great job of explaining in such simple terms why we love. 1 JOHN 4:19 - "We love because he first loved us." This verse shows that Jesus was a real human, cried, and had feelings just like kids do.Ģ. It is also a great verse because, for some, the idea of Jesus and what he could do can seem inhuman. Kids of pretty much any age can learn this verse written by John together. One of the shortest verses in the Bible, John 11:35 is by far one of the easiest to memorize. Below are 15 verses that have an excellent application for kids to hold onto and do a beautiful job of showing how much God truly does love them. There are thousands of verses in the Bible, and many of them may be short, but there are some that are especially worthy of memorization for kids. After sitting down and being quiet for the story, asking kids to get up and talk or shout (if you’re brave enough), gives them the freedom to engage and release some of the energy they may have been holding in while listening to the story. Giving short Bible verses to kids to memorize is a great way to challenge the brain and change up the rhythm of Sunday school. ![]() Having the Bible to lean on will help kids when a parent is not by their side for a significant moment or decision. The more Scriptures kids can memorize, the more likely it is that they will make God honoring decisions as they face temptation or those big adult decisions that will eventually come about in each one of their lives. Memorizing Scripture has many benefits that help kids in the here-and-now, but one of the most important things that it will do for them is to put God’s love, important words, and morals into their hearts for years and years to come. ![]() In multiple places, the Bible, and specifically God (Deuteronomy 11:18), says to keep what the Scriptures say in our hearts. The Bible is filled with wonderful Scriptures to help guide, and teach on many different topics. ![]()
