Bible Verses About Children

Verses on children — their value in God's eyes, the call to nurture them in faith, and what it means to come to God with childlike trust.

Children are not a burden — they are a heritage and a reward. These verses on children declare that Jesus welcomed the little ones, that they belong in the kingdom, that training them in God's ways is one of the highest callings a parent can have. But there is a deeper dimension: Jesus says unless you become like a little child, you cannot enter the kingdom. The faith that saves is not sophisticated — it is trusting, open, and wholly dependent. Children model it for us.
