What does the Bible teach about the value of children?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that children are a gift from God and hold immeasurable value, as evidenced by various passages addressing their significance.

In Scripture, children are viewed as blessings from the Lord, as stated in Psalm 127:3: 'Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.' This perspective recognizes that every child carries intrinsic worth, not only in the eyes of God but also as eternal beings with the possibility of salvation through Christ. The significance of children is further illuminated in the New Testament, where Jesus invites children to come to Him, providing an assurance of their value in God's kingdom (Mark 10:14). By understanding the value of children, Christians are motivated to nurture them in the faith and to see them as future inheritors of God's promises.
