Bible Verses About Good Children

Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac. He himself carried the fire and the sacrificial knife, and the two of them walked on together.

Then Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!” “Here I am, my son,” he replied. “The fire and the wood are here,” said Isaac, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”

Abraham answered, “God Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two walked on together.

When they arrived at the place God had designated, Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac and placed him on the altar, atop the wood.

Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.

My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments;

for they will add length to your days, years and peace to your life.

Never let loving devotion or faithfulness leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

Then you will find favor and high regard in the sight of God and man.
