Bible Stories for Kids
The concept of having God and religious books, according to me is to provide ordinary men a guidance who get wavered very easily because they are tempted by the pleasures of the world which always come easy and to stick to truth and honest and everything which is right is difficult. From the time we gain senses to know and understand the difference between right and wrong, sometimes even prior to that, our families start telling us stories about how the good is always rewarded and the bad is always punished. The gist of all stories for children is to form their basic character on which they would base their judgment of good and bad. And Bible states stories wherein there are ordinary people who commit mistakes and then rectify themselves so in this way kids are taught to be always on the right path and even if they divert they should come back to the right path. These stories teach the grace of God, which increase the children's faith in God.

Children's Bible Stories

Noah’s Ark - This story would teach children that obedience is a virtue and it always brings good results and it also teaches that most of the people might do what is wrong but that does not mean that we also become a part of the gang.

The Story of Abraham - This story would teach faith and blind trust on God who at times tests our faith in him by giving us bad times as he did with Abraham. He asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son, which Abraham was ready to do but God did not let him do that. He was only testing Abraham’s dedication and faith towards God.

The Story of Joseph - The story of Joseph is also important since it says that even if one is young one can do great things and it just needs wisdom and faith in God. It reiterates the value of faith in God during bad times. It teaches that life at times doesn’t seem fair and we feel God is not with us but everything is planned and he does everything for our betterment.

The Story of Moses - This is the story of Moses who was no at all willing to accomplish the task that God thought for him because he did not have faith in himself and being an ordinary shepherd he considered himself too petty for a task like saving the Israelites from the Egyptian Pharaoh but God had trust in him and he was the chosen one. So in spite of Moses being a person who always complained was not perfect at all, God chose him for this because he was an ardent follower of God. This would teach the kids that though we are not capable of few things, with God’s help we can accomplish tasks, which are beyond are abilities.

The Story Of Christmas - The story of Christmas is the most important thing in the whole text of Bible and the prime lesson for the kids. It teaches how God sent his son on earth to redeem the mere mortals from being perished forever. It would teach the lesson that God is graceful, his grace has no limit and he can forgive our sins if we our truly repentant and would not repeat the same mistake again.

The above mentioned are only a few of the numerous Bible Stories for kids but then all of them have a lesson to be learnt, remembered and followed in life.
