God’s Call To Parents

Ephesians 6:1-4 | JD Summers

Having children in marriage is part of God’s plan for the family. But God desires more than just bringing new humans into the world; he desires that parents multiply disciples. This means requiring obedience from children and cultivating a desire to honor their parents. It also means abstaining from provoking children to anger, but instead applying appropriate discipline and instruction to raise children up in the Lord. The task is tall, but in God’s grace, he honors and uses the faithful efforts of imperfect parents who seek to follow Christ’s commands.
