What does the Bible say about bringing children to Jesus?
Answered in 4 sources
The Bible teaches that Jesus welcomes children, saying that the kingdom of God belongs to such as these (Luke 18:15-17).
In Luke 18:15-17, we see that Jesus emphasized the importance of bringing children to Him, stating, 'Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God.' This underscores the view that children hold a special place in God's kingdom and that they are not to be dismissed or considered insignificant. It is a direct call for believers to bring their children to God in prayer and to seek His blessing and mercy upon them. Through prayer, parents and guardians acknowledge their reliance on God to lay hold of their children, seeking His salvation and guidance from an early age.
