HOW TO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN
TO JESUS CHRIST

1)  Be fully converted to Jesus Christ, and abide in Him, cleansed of all sin and the affection thereof.
2)  Receive the confirmation and sealing of the Holy Spirit.
3)  Master the Holy Bible under the guidance of the God Who dwells within you.
4)  Recognize your children as belonging to Him and coming from Him that you may lead them to become fully His.
5)  Once they have reached the ages of 5-7, instruct them in the doctrine and ways of salvation, as taught by Scripture, coupled by good and edifying example.
6)  Give them explicit portaits in many lessons of the stark difference between a Christian and a non-Christian, a saved soul and one who is lost.
7)  Set before them constantly your own godly examples, by act and by word, frequently and spontaneously allowing the words and oracles of God to flow from your lips, day in and day out.  If you have not this gift or ability, ask it of God in faith, and He will surely grant you your request.
8 )  Realize that the doctrine of salvation, when properly presented, will be considered irresistible to the small child, and, unless they be incarnate devils, they will readily and enthusiastically surrender their lives to Jesus Christ and welcome the empowering Spirit within them that they may easily and joyfully accomplish all good.  Therefore was Jesus so enamored of little children, as they tend so easily and readily to come to Him and become His.
9)  Promptly ratify with Baptism their choice to serve God as soon as that choice is made.
10)  Lead them to become completely enamored of the Bible and the many lessons it contains, that they may readily apply these to every moment of daily living.
11)  Give them continued prayerful guidance for the upcoming childhood and difficult teen years as they shall have been already fortified by the grace of Jesus Christ and His Spirit.
12)  Ever thank and glorify God in and for your children, with whom you are destined by God to forever celebrate the great many victories which you have won through Him.

BLESSINGS UPON YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN.
