Encouraging the Faith: Infants

Did you now that infants can have faith? All we need to have faith is to hear God’s Word and we all know that babies can hear both in and out of the womb. How do we know this? First, because receiving and having faith is not an intellectual activity. We don’t need to think about it to receive it. It’s a gift. Also, we remember that in his mother’s womb, John the Baptist knew Jesus, in His mother’s womb, and leapt with joy. What does that mean for your baby?

  • Tell them a Bible story as you rock them and before they go to sleep at night.
  • When you tell your baby you love him/her, remind them that Jesus loves them too.
  • Sing Bible hymns and songs to them or play them in the car.
