Parents voluntarily present their children and themselves to God. Parents are committing themselves to faithfully fulfilling their parental responsibilities (1 Tim 5:8; Prov 22:6), training their child in a biblically shaped environment (Deut 6:6-7; Col 3:21; Eph 6:4), and being a Godly example by modelling and teaching their child how to walk in a personal relationship with Jesus (2 Tim 3:15-16). Parents are also acknowledging their need for prayerful support and encouragement from others in the church to do this (Heb 10:24-25). In Jesus Christ’s example, Luke 2:22 says, “When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord.”
