How can parents effectively bridge the gap in understanding biblical terms with their children?

In the video, Chris Law highlights a common challenge faced by parents in discipling their children— the assumption that children automatically grasp the meaning of biblical terms. He emphasizes the importance of not overlooking this potential misunderstanding. Terms like "gospel," "repent," and "holy" may not be fully comprehended by children, even if they nod in agreement.

Chris suggests that parents should take the time to ask their children about the meaning of these terms, ensuring a shared understanding. This active engagement helps in laying a solid foundation for spiritual understanding and growth in the children. By actively involving children in discussions about the gospel, repentance, and holiness, parents contribute to a deeper and more authentic understanding of these concepts in their children's lives.

"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV)

I think another challenge that we face as parents discipling our children is assuming they know what we're talking about when we're speaking about Biblical terms. Things like what is the gospel? What does it mean to repent? What does the word holy mean? And just taking time to ask our children what do mom and dad mean when we use this word.

I've found more often than not my children don't quite understand what I'm saying, though they're nodding, they're saying yes, and so it's helpful not to just skip over that and to assume, but to take time to Make sure they're understanding those little truths, and that by God's grace, they'll truly understand them from a spiritual aspect.
