We cannot make our children love the Bible, I allow. None but the Holy Spirit can give them a heart to delight in the Word. But we can make our children acquainted with the Bible, and be sure they cannot be acquainted with that blessed Book too soon or too well. Let the simple Bible be everything in the training of their souls, and let all other books take second place.
See that your children read the Bible reverently; it is in truth the Word of God. See that they read it regularly.
Tell them of sin — its guilt, its consequences, its power, its vileness — we will find they can comprehend something of this. Tell them of the Lord Jesus Christ, His love and His work for our salvation — His cross, His shed blood, His resurrection, His ascension and His soon coming again. You will find there is something not beyond them in all this.
