Raise Them Up

As a parent, your greatest joy is seeing your child grow and develop into the person God has created them to be. You want your child to know and love Jesus Christ, and to live a life that reflects his love and grace. In this blog, we'll explore some of the ways you can help your child grow in her faith and become a disciple of Jesus Christ.

First and foremost, you can help your child develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This starts by introducing her to the Bible and teaching her about God's love and grace. You can read Bible stories together, pray together, and attend church services and events as a family. By modeling a life of faith and discipleship, you can help your child understand what it means to follow Jesus.

You can also help your child develop a heart for service and compassion. Jesus taught us to love and serve others, and as we follow him, we are called to do the same. You can help your child develop a heart for service by volunteering together, participating in mission trips, and reaching out to those in need in your community. By serving others, your child can experience the joy and fulfillment that comes from following Christ's example.

Another important way to help your child grow in his/her faith is to encourage them to develop healthy relationships with other believers. The Bible tells us that we are not meant to live out our faith alone, but to be part of a community of believers. You can help your child find a group of friends who share their faith and encourage them to participate in youth group or other church activities. By being part of a community of believers, your child can find support, encouragement, and accountability as they grow in their faith.

Finally, you can help your child develop a strong sense of identity in Christ. In a world that often promotes unrealistic standards of beauty and success, it's important for your child to know that their true worth comes from who they are in Christ. You can help your child understand that they are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that God has a unique purpose and plan for their life. By helping your child find his/her identity in Christ, you can help her navigate the challenges of life with confidence and grace.

As a parent, you have a unique opportunity and responsibility to help your child grow in their faith and become a disciple of Jesus Christ. By introducing them to the Bible, encouraging them to serve others, helping them find community, and nurturing their sense of identity in Christ, you can help your child become the person God has created them to be.
