SACREDNESS of children

 

Psalm 127:3

King James Version

3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: 

and the fruit of the womb is his reward.


We were all babies once.

I wrote that, sometime ago.

We are all precious, in the eyes of GOD.

As Scripture testifies:

Psalm 8:2

King James Version

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings 

hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, 

that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.


Psalm 139:16-18

King James Version

16 Thine eyes did see my substance, 

yet being unperfect; 

and in thy book all my members were written, 

which in continuance were fashioned, 

when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, 

O God! 

how great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, 

they are more in number than the sand: 

when I awake, 

I am still with thee.


Ecclesiastes 11:5

King James Version

5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, 

nor how the bones do grow 

in the womb of her that is with child: 

even so thou knowest not the works of God 

who maketh all.


Jeremiah 1:5

King James Version

5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; 

and before thou camest forth out of the womb 

I sanctified thee, 

and I ordained thee a prophet 

unto the nations.


Jeremiah 29:11-13

King James Version

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, 

saith the Lord, 

thoughts of peace, 

and not of evil, 

to give you an expected end.

12 Then shall ye call upon me, 

and ye shall go and pray unto me, 

and I will hearken unto you.

13 And ye shall seek me, 

and find me, 

when ye shall search for me 

with all your heart.


Matthew 18:4-7

King James Version

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself 

as this little child, 

the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 And whoso shall receive 

one such little child in my name receiveth me.

6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones 

which believe in me, 

it were better for him 

that a millstone were hanged about his neck, 

and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Woe unto the world because of offences! 

for it must needs be that offences come; 

but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!


Matthew 18:10

King James Version

10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; 

for I say unto you, 

That in heaven their angels do always behold 

the face of my Father which is in heaven.


Mark 9:36-37

King James Version

36 And he took a child, 

and set him in the midst of them: 

and when he had taken him in his arms, 

he said unto them,

37 Whosoever shall receive 

one of such children in my name, 

receiveth me: 

and whosoever shall receive me, 

receiveth not me, 

but him that sent me.


Mark 10:16

King James Version

16 And he took them up in his arms, 

put his hands upon them, 

and blessed them.


Luke 18:15-16

King James Version

15 And they brought unto him also infants, 

that he would touch them: 

but when his disciples saw it, 

they rebuked them.

16 But Jesus called them unto him, 

and said, 

Suffer little children to come unto me, 

and forbid them not: 

for of such is the kingdom of God.


Romans 8:16-17

King James Version

16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, 

that we are the children of God:

17 And if children, 

then heirs; 

heirs of God, 

and joint-heirs with Christ; 

if so be that we suffer with him, 

that we may be also glorified together.


Ephesians 2:10

King James Version

10 For we are his workmanship, 

created in Christ Jesus unto good works, 

which God hath before ordained 

that we should walk in them.


James 1:17

King James Version

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, 

and cometh down from the Father of lights, 

with whom is no variableness, 

neither shadow of turning.


1 John 3:1

King James Version

3 Behold, 

what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, 

that we should be called the sons of God: 

therefore the world knoweth us not, 

because it knew him not.
