Experiencing God At Home For Daily Family नमुना

God’s Keeping

Quick Start

Because the Bible is God’s Word, we can trust its account as truth: miracles, plagues, giants, visions of heaven, God speaking to people, angels, healings, miraculous births, and people raised from the dead, etc. Which things do you wish you could have been there to see?

Quest

Jewish people considered the books of the Old Testament as holy; they used extreme care to copy and preserve it accurately from generation to generation. Jesus quoted from and confirmed that the Jewish Scriptures (our Old Testament) were accurate. Ancient pieces of manuscripts found called the Dead Sea Scrolls confirmed that the Old Testament we have today and the one Jesus read are the same in every important detail. Church leaders who lived after Jesus carefully kept and copied the collection of books/letters now known as the New Testament. With much prayer, discussion, and care, those leaders gathered these works together into one collection. Each time one of these treasures is discovered, it reinforces that what we have today is an accurate copy of these books.

Quiet Family Prayer

God gave us His Word to reveal the truth about Himself, Jesus, life, etc. But He also gave it to us so that we’d know what kind of loving, godly people He wants to help us be. Ask God to help you live what you learn from His Word.

Quiet Times

Younger Kids: Read the Bible story about the Holy Spirit’s arrival on the day of Pentecost. When we become Christians, the Holy Spirit comes to be with us forever; He helps us live and understand the Bible. In your prayers, thank God for the Holy Spirit.

Older Kids: Read 1 Peter 1:22–25; 2 Peter 1:19–21; 3:14–18. Peter wrote that the point of the Old Testament was to tell us about Jesus; that Jesus’ life and teachings were all God’s Word; and that what Paul (himself and the other disciples) was writing about Jesus would also be part of God’s Word. Paul emphasises, however, that we not just believe in God’s Word but that we let it change us. Ask God to help you to be changed by His Word.
