Teaching the 10 Commandments to Your Kids

Article Category: Religion

Author Name: Chris Bradley

It is interesting that many Christian churches today revere the 10 Commandments even though the Decalogue has been around for centuries. However, an interesting twist to this scenario is the fact that many Christians observe that many of their fellow believers have paid less attention to these commandments as they have become so busy with a lot of other things.

Here's a good test for any practicing Christian – can you recite all ten of these commandments as they are written down in the Bible? Can your children who are old enough recite them to any degree that is satisfactory? Remember that Jesus himself said that "If ye love me, keep my commandments" (John 14:15). Well, how can you keep these commandments, which are absolutely fundamental by the way, if you do not know them?

So How Can You Effectively Teach the 10 Commandments to Your Children?

Some parents cry out for help with this matter. There was a time way back in the puritan days when all true believers in Christianity would have been utterly zealous in committing the Decalogue to memory. Both parents and children were full of zest in remembering these commandments or at least knowing them by heart.

So, the burden is on the shoulders of the parents to teach these commandments to their children in the hope that they will emulate and eventually lead a Christ-like life. Obedience is part and parcel of the cost of discipleship.

The good news is that there are actually two general methods for parents to teach their kids the commandments that were set forth by God himself on Mount Sinai. The first method is for the parents to teach the commandments directly as they are found in the Bible. Younger kids who have shorter attention spans may require visual aids and other teaching tools.

There are a lot of teaching aids that are available to parents today to help them teach the 10 Commandments to their children. They may use videos to help illustrate the commandments to their children. Some parents even make their own cut outs and flannel sets in order to help their kids visualize the events that lead to the revelation of these commandments to Moses and how they can be applied to us in these modern times.

In the case of older children, some recommend teaching directly from the Bible. It gives older children a feel for the sacred book. It also imposes that sacred reverence that all true Christians should have for God's holy word.

The second way that parents can teach the 10 Commandments to their kids is by obeying the commandments themselves. Remember that it is one thing to instruct young minds in the God's word and totally another to instill its principles into the fabric of their lives. Both phases of this teaching process are important since discipleship cannot be achieved only by rote memorization of God's commandments. When children see the gospel including the 10 Commandments in action in your lives, it will instill a lesson in their souls that they will most likely never forget.
