The New Testament marks a turning point in the Bible’s narrative.
From Matthew to Revelation, it is not merely a historical record or a statement of faith—it is a life book written for everyone, telling stories of love, forgiveness, renewal, choice, and hope.
For Chinese children growing up overseas, the New Testament is especially suitable as an introductory text to life lessons: the stories are vivid, the characters lively, the dialogues realistic, and the values universal. These texts help children develop emotional resilience, emotional intelligence, and a deeper understanding of the world.

🌱 Why Families and Children Should Read the New Testament Together
1. Stories with Characters Make It Easy for Kids to Understand
Unlike the Old Testament, the New Testament focuses less on long historical spans and more on:
- Jesus’ conversations with people
- His choices and actions
- The struggles and growth of the disciples
Children can learn:
- What kindness and courage look like
- How to stay humble in conflict
- How to face mistakes
- Why love matters more than success
These stories touch hearts more than any sermon.
2. Shows Different Faces of Love
Jesus’ teachings are practical ways of living:
- Compassion for the weak
- Forgiveness for enemies
- Acceptance of failures
- Accompaniment for those who suffer
Through these stories, children understand that love is not just an emotion but a choice and action.
3. Helps Children Build Inner Strength
In a fast-paced, competitive world, children need more than knowledge—they need:
- Security
- Self-worth
- Courage to do right
- Resilience in facing setbacks
The teachings in Paul’s, Peter’s, and John’s letters provide valuable resources for modern children’s emotional and spiritual growth.
