5 Ways to Tell if Your Child is Ready to Accept Jesus — 7 Comments

  1. I like this insightful post. I have seen children jump on the bandwagon so to speak when they may or may not truly understand. Sometimes teachers’ enthusiasm coupled with the students’ desire to please the teacher brings about a pre-mature commitment with no lasting value which may confuse the child later in life. We want our children to accept Christ, but we don’t do them any favors if they do it to please us instead of out of a genuine love for Christ.

    • I agree, Janice, that premature comittments have no lasting value to a child and indeed can lead to spiritual confusion. Their decision needs to be from their heart, not from outside pressure. Thanks for your comment.

  2. Lovely post, Linda. My girls bring friends to church all the time. It’s nice to see. I remember when my oldest daughter was in kindergarten and one of her friends told her that God was dead. She didn’t mind settting her straight. I wish I had faith like that when I was her age.

    • Ah, yes, Cheryl. To have the faith of a child. My son was particularly steadfast in his witness as a child. I remember a specific incident when we were out for a walk that a friend rode up on his bike beside us. My son invited him to church and his friend said no and started riding away. My son ran alongside his bike trying to persuade him to come! A child’s faith is beautiful thing!
