Bible Verses for Baby Dedication and Baptism

Baby dedication is a wonderful moment in which parents make a public statement of faith to raise their child under God's grace and wisdom. Dedicating your child to God shows that recognize your child as a gift from God and you are dedicating yourself to being a godly example to your child. Baby dedication does not secure salvation, rather it is a symbolic moment of entrusting the child's life to God's will. The below Bible verses help celebrate the joyous moments of birth and parenting. The Scriptures can also be used for reading at a baby dedication ceremony to speak God's truths and promises over the life of the precious child!
