“The Blessing of Obedience & Honor”

The importance of obedience and respect within the family. It reminds children to honor their parents, not just as a social duty but as a command from God. This commandment is unique because it comes with a promise, a blessed and long life for those who follow it. Phrase “in the Lord” suggests that obedience should align with God’s will, meaning children should follow their parents’ guidance as long as it is righteous and in accordance with biblical principles. Honoring parents is not just about obedience but also about showing love, gratitude, and care for them throughout life.

Children, obey your parents in the LORD, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother”-which is the first commandment with a promise- “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
Ephesians 6:1-3
