God gave us his Word to guide us.
The Bible was written by people who were inspired by God.
The Bible is organized into testaments and books and features several different
types of literature.
Our modern Bible has been separated into chapters and verses so we can study
it more easily.
Bible concordances help us find topics and verses in the Bible.
Bible footnotes have been added to help us understand words and ideas better.
Bible maps help us find places from Bible times so we can see where things happened and know that the places in the Bible are real.
It is very important for us to spend time studying God’s Word and to spend time
with God.

Background
It took approximately 40 different people nearly 1,600 years to write the Bible—God’s
inspired Word. This Holy Bible is the guide for the Christian life. It is powerful and
eternal. We are challenged to teach young children that this book is much more than
a group of stories—it is our instruction manual for living! In fact, we do not live
merely by the food we eat, but we are sustained in life by every word that comes from
God (Deuteronomy 8:3). We are called to show students the importance of God’s
Word and how to study it.
Memory Work
“How can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to your word.
I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.
I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
Praise be to you, O LORD;
teach me your decrees” (Psalm 119:9–12).
“Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth” (Psalm 46:10).

UNIT 2

Bible Reference
✼
Selected passages
To the Teacher
God knew that we would need instructions
and nourishment to live here on Earth. He
knew that we would sometimes stumble in
darkness. So he wrote us a long letter to give
us guidance and encouragement. The Holy
Bible, God’s true Word, should always be a
part of any Christian’s equipment. Students
need to be shown the importance of Scripture
for their daily living. This lesson will present
familiar objects to help them understand their
need for the Bible.
Preparation/Materials

✼
✼
Loaf of bread
Light source (flashlight, lamp, candle, etc.)
Bible
Activity sheet, one per student
Lesson Highlights
✼
Just as bread feeds us physically, the Bible
feeds us spiritually.
✼
✼
Just as a flashlight (lamp or candle) scatters darkness on a path, the Bible scatters
the darkness of life.
God’s Word is truth and will last forever.
God’s Word prepares us to honor God
with our lives.
Background
The Bible is the most widely published and
bestselling book in the world; in fact, it was
the first book ever to be printed. It is also
found in more languages than any other book.
According to recent statistics from Wycliffe
Bible Translators, some or all of the Bible
has been translated into more than 2,400 of
the over 6,900 languages currently spoken
in the world. About one-third of the world’s
languages do not have any Bible and probably need Bible translations (representing an
estimated 193 million people). Unfortunately,
there are still about 250 million people who
do not have Scripture in an understandable
form. Impress upon students that we are fortunate to be able to read God’s Word daily in
our own language and to use it as our instruction manual for life. Help them appreciate the
importance of reading and studying the Bible
beyond its use as a subject at school.
Lesson Steps
Bridge
1. Show students the loaf of bread. Ask, “Why is a loaf of bread important to us?”
(Bread is a basic kind of food. We eat it to give us strength and to help us have
energy to do our work.)
2. Show students the light source. Ask, “Why is this flashlight (or lamp or candle)
important to us?” (It is a source of light. It helps us to see in the dark. It lights
our path.)
3. Show students the Bible. Ask, “How are the loaf of bread and the flashlight (or
lamp or candle) like the Bible?” (The Bible is like bread because it feeds us with
69
3 TG 03_05.indd 2:69
3/10/09 2:46:18 PM
God’s truth. It also gives us strength to do our work for God. The Bible is like a
flashlight [or lamp or candle] because it lights our way in a dark world.)
4. Tell students that you will be reading some Scripture verses that will show what
God says about the Bible.
Scripture Link
1. Read Matthew 4:1–4. Discuss the fact that Satan was trying to tempt Jesus.
Jesus let Satan know that God’s Word is more important than bread. Bread could
stop Jesus’ physical hunger, but only God’s Word could give him the strength
he needed to defeat Satan. That’s how strong the words of God are! We can find
them in the Bible.
2. Read Psalm 119:104–105. Remind students that in Bible times there was no electricity for streetlights. There were no batteries or flashlights. People used candles
and oil lamps to see in the dark. Just as the people needed light to see which path
to take, they needed God’s Word to show them the right path to take in life. We
need God’s Word, too. It helps us discern right from wrong so that we can choose
the correct path to follow.
3. Read Matthew 24:35. Discuss the permanence of God’s Word. It is never going to
pass away. The Bible is true. We can trust the Bible to always help us live the way
God wants us to live.
4. Read 2 Timothy 3:15–17. Tell students that Paul was writing a letter to Timothy,
encouraging him and giving him instructions on how to be a good pastor of the
church at Ephesus. Make sure students know that “Scriptures” is another word
for the Bible. Use the following questions for discussion.
• How long had Timothy been learning about the Bible? (Since he was a baby.)
• How did Paul say that God is involved in the holy Scriptures? (The Scriptures
are God-breathed.)
• What are some things that Paul said the Bible can be used to do? (The Bible
can make people wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. The Bible is
useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.)
• Why should people of God study the Scriptures? (The Scriptures equip us for
every good work.)
5. Read Psalm 119:9–12: “How can a young man keep his way pure? By living
according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from
your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against
you. Praise be to you, O LORD; teach me your decrees.”
Tell students that this is the first memory verse of the unit. Help them to learn
one phrase at a time. Discuss each phrase. Make sure students understand that
when the Bible says “a young man,” it includes all young people.
6. Discuss ways to hide God’s Word in your heart. (Ideas include learning the memory verses at school and church, listening to Christian music, reading the Bible or
listening to an audio Bible, listening carefully to Bible lessons and sermons, and
writing down Bible verses on cards and using them as bookmarks.)

UNIT 2
7. Have students share examples of times that the Bible has helped them. Be prepared to share some examples of your own to get them started. (Possibly share a
favorite verse that has helped you during a difficult time.)
8. Ask, “How can we use God’s Word to help others?” (Answers may include inviting friends to Sunday school, sharing a verse with a family member, giving a
Bible to someone who doesn’t own one, and teaching a younger sibling a lesson
from the Bible.)
Student Activities
1. Remind students that the Bible is one way God talks to us. Ask, “What do you
often use to talk to friends or family when you are not together?” (Answers may
include the phone, a cell phone, or e-mail.)
2. Distribute the activity sheets. Tell students that today they will use a picture of a
telephone to help them decode the verses on the sheet.
3. Go over the directions together. Make sure that students understand that they
will use the letters on the key pads that correspond to the numbers on the verses.
Students should have little trouble completing the top verse, but they may need
help with the more difficult bottom verse. (The top verse leaves out vowels, while
the bottom verse leaves out consonants.)

“How can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to your word.
I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.
I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
Praise be to you, O LORD;
teach me your decrees” (Psalm 119:9–12).

Language. Read the book From Akebu to Zapotec: A Book about Bibleless Peoples by
June Hathersmith and Wycliffe Bible Translators.
Social Studies. Show the DVD KC’s Travels from Wycliffe Bible Translators.
Music. “Thy Word” from Sing With Me.
Art. Have students make a wordless picture book that tells a Bible story.
Bible. Read and discuss the front matter page in a Gideon Bible or New
Testament. Briefly discuss the work and ministry of The Gideons International
(www.gideons.org). After reading the selection from the Gideon Bible, guide students in writing their own brief statements about the Bible, what it teaches us,
who it is primarily about, and what it is like. Alternatively, have students choose
an image or two from the selection below and illustrate the images suggested (e.g.,
traveler’s map).
— “The HOLY BIBLE contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of
salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines
are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are
immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It
contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you.
— “It is the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass, the soldier’s
sword, and the Christian’s charter. Here Paradise is restored, heaven opened,
and the gates of hell disclosed.
— “CHRIST is its grand subject, our good the design, and the glory of God its
end.
— “It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly,
frequently, and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and
a river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment,
and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will
reward the greatest labour, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred
contents.” —The Gideons International
