What is the Christian faith? Teach your kids the essential truths of the Christian faith with family devotions by Sinclair Ferguson!


What is the Christian Faith? | Family Devotions by Sinclair B Ferguson
As Christian parents, we want our kids to know God’s Word, right?

I know I do. I want them to know and understand the story of God’s great plan for salvation. My kids need to know who God is, who they are, why we need a Savior, and how God wants us to follow him.

The Bible is a story, and it’s the perfect place to learn everything we need to know about what God has to say to us.

That said, it’s helpful if we provide a framework for our kids so they can understand the Christian faith. We want to start laying the groundwork of systematic theology–what the Bible as a whole has to say about specific subjects–for our kids.

That sounds complicated, but it’s really not. There are great tools available to help!

What is the Christian Faith?

Our kids need to know the gospel. The must understand how they come to salvation in Jesus, and why they need a Savior.

Our children also need to know who God is, who we are in God’s perspective, and how God wants his followers to live. These are important details about the Christian faith that it’s our job to teach our kids.

I want to thank Christian Focus Publications for sending me a copy of The Big Book of Questions and Answers, and one to give away. This review is my own and is not sponsored.
