V. Train your child to a knowledge of the Bible.
"You cannot make your children love the Bible, I allow. None but the Holy Ghost can give us a heart to delight in the Word. But you can make your children acquainted with the Bible; and be sure they cannot be acquainted with that blessed book too soon, or too well. . .
"See that your children read the Bible reverently...
"See that they read it regularly...
"See that the read it all...
"Tell them of sin, its guilt, its consequences, ...
"Tell them of the Lord Jesus Christ, and His work for our salvation,..
"Fill their minds with Scripture. Let the Word dwell in them richly Give them the Bible, the whole Bible, even while they are young." ~
~ From The Duties of Parents, J. C. Ryle
