It is a love of self-sacrifice and response. God's precepts are for our benefit and protection, and are what is best loving parents are the example. Churches and parents must teach and model character. All who are in the family must participate in the love of a home by obeying and respecting. This is for those in authority, entrusted with a great and precious responsibility, with a call to nurture, shape, and train so children flourish to come into their own. This does not mean we submit to dictatorial or dysfunctional family members or any form of bad leadership (Psalm 119 Isa. To be in leadership is not an excuse to batter or put wives, children, workers or anyone down in any way. Submission is respect submission should not exceed the parameters of the will of God or of love and righteousness. In contrast, a person with a lack of faith will not respect others because the emptiness where faith is supposed to be is filled with pride and even self-destruction, worry, and stress that lead a person nowhere good. This is a call to submit to those in authority and to value and respect them, enjoy orderliness, and learn from them. Meaning to "listen up," a call to have respect for authority. Paul says to do it with desire and then one will have a more joyful and contented life (Deut. Jewish and Roman children were expected to submit and obey by obligation. It does mean we can create an atmosphere of trust and love as well as encouragement and support (Col. This does not mean we do not have our ups and downs and problems. It is about His love and respect in each of the members, all in unison. Family is not about power and control, about fears, usurping authority or rebelling from it.
The point is what it means to be in a healthy relationship with God and others.Ī family is a microcosm of the Church all united in Christ and, a church is a collection of families with gifts and responsibilities united not only in blood and bond, but in the greater connection of who we are in Christ! How we are in our relationships is the power indicator of how we are in our relationship with Christ. Whether "slave" means refers to workers or otherwise, the Bible's point is that all are human and are deserving of rights. The word slave may freak people out today however, in this context, "slave" mostly means "workers". This translates into the home and workplace. In context, this passage unlocks the secrets to a happy, fulfilling and contented marriage that has love and respect. How we work is a reflection of our relationship with Christ our work should reflect caring to those around us. A call is given to people who employ others, to treat them as real Christians, with care, not to abuse or frustrate employers are to treat workers well as this reflects glory to the Lord (and creates a better workplace, too). A call is given to employees to be the best workers possible as we are working for our Lord as witnesses for Him. A call is given to parents not to abuse, harm, or frustrate their children parents are called to love, protect, and raise children right in the Lord, and give them proper instruction in God's precepts. If we listen to wise instruction-what to do and not to do-things go better for us.
Who better than those who are in the Lord and love us and who are family? We need to respect our father and mother we may experience less harshness of the consequences of our bad choices. Main Idea: A call is made for children to listen and obey our parents, because we need to be cared for and to learn.
