What does God require of parents in this Commandment?

Share |


God requires that parents care for their children with paternal and maternal love, provide for their needs and their safety, teach them God’s Word and instill in them a sincere fear of God. He also wants them to be good examples to their children in their faith, and life.The goal of a Christian upbringing is to enable children to grow into mature, responsible and independent adults, who believe God’s Word and live in accordance with it, who respect their country’s rightful laws, good order and good habits.

Eph. 6:4: Ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.


Note: Discipline is the establishment of correct and safe limits within which a person is to live and act.

Assignment: Read Gen. 18:19, Deut. 6:6-9, Prov. 13:24; 22:15; 23:13,14 and Matt. 18:6,10. Discuss the topic: He who grows up without discipline, dies without honor.
