![]() ![]() What does it mean for the Bible to be God-breathed? It basically means that it comes from God. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” Look up and read 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (quoted here from the NIV). And they were writing the things that God gave them the idea to write about. The people who wrote the Bible were writing true things, things that really happened. But those 40 different people weren’t just making up the Bible from their own ideas, were they? They weren’t just making up a story like this fiction book, right? It is a collection of books, a big book made up of a lot of smaller books. More than 40 people wrote the Bible, people like Moses and King David and Peter and Paul. Now show them the Bible and ask, Who can tell me who wrote this book? Show students a popular children’s fiction book and ask, Who can tell me who wrote this book? Those are pretty important things, aren’t they? That’s why study the Bible to learn all those things. It tells us what kind of people God wants us to be and the kinds of things that He wants us to do. ![]() It tells us how we are supposed to live our lives now. It tells us about how God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit love us and all the things that They have done for us and it tells us not how we can get a good job, but how we can be saved and go to Heaven when we die. The Bible is even more important than our school books because it tells us about God and Jesus. When you come to church, we also study a book. Who knows why we go to school? Why do we study all those books that they give us? To get a good job, to learn what we need to know. Kid’s Bible Lesson “Why Do We Study the Bible?” They told true things about themselves in the game and the Bible is the place where God tells us true things about Himself. When the game is over, explain that the Bible is like the game students just played. Continue playing with one person each round saying something true about themselves. The difference with this game is that you will remove no more chairs and no one leaves the game. When the music stops, the person without a chair must say one true thing about themselves. The Bible tells us how we can live the way Jesus lived and how we can do the things that God is happy for us to do. God and Jesus are our Leaders and the Bible tells us everything we need to know to follow Them. When we study the Bible, we are learning how to play Follow the Leader. After the game, explain that today’s lesson is about why we should study the Bible. Play until everyone has had a chance to be Leader or until students lose interest. Play for a specified amount of time and then choose a new Leader. Students must follow the Leader in every way, going where they go and doing what they do. ![]() Needed: For this lesson, you’ll want to gather a children’s fictional story book, Bibles, construction paper, ribbon, markers or crayons, stickers, and hole punches.
