Christian Parenthood and Godly Children


Psa 127:3-4 GNB  Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a real blessing.  (4)  The sons a man has when he is young are like arrows in a soldier's hand.

Mat 21:15 GNB  The chief priests and the teachers of the Law became angry when they saw the wonderful things he was doing and the children shouting in the Temple, "Praise to David's Son!"

Mar 10:13-16 GNB  Some people brought children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples scolded the people.  (14)  When Jesus noticed this, he was angry and said to his disciples, "Let the children come to me, and do not stop them, because the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.  (15)  I assure you that whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it."  (16)  Then he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on each of them, and blessed them.

Pro 22:6 GNB  Teach children how they should live, and they will remember it all their life.

Eph 6:4 GNB  Parents, do not treat your children in such a way as to make them angry. Instead, raise them with Christian discipline and instruction.

It is very clear from these verses that children can serve the Lord the same way as an adult. It is the job of a parent to teach children the Bible and how to practically apply it in their every day life. We should bring children to Jesus by teaching them the Word of God.

Love in action


Rom 12:9-12 GW  Love sincerely. Hate evil. Hold on to what is good.  (10)  Be devoted to each other like a loving family. Excel in showing respect for each other.  (11)  Don't be lazy in showing your devotion. Use your energy to serve the Lord.  (12)  Be happy in your confidence, be patient in trouble, and pray continually.

1Pe 4:8-10 GW  Above all, love each other warmly, because love covers many sins.  (9)  Welcome each other as guests without complaining.  (10)  Each of you as a good manager must use the gift that God has given you to serve others.

1Jn 4:8 GW  The person who doesn't love doesn't know God, because God is love.

Joh 3:16 GW  God loved the world this way: He gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life.

Mat 9:35-38 MKJV  And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.  (36)  But seeing the crowds, He was moved with compassion on them, because they were tired and scattered like sheep having no shepherd.  (37)  Then He said to His disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few.  (38)  Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest that He will send out laborers into His harvest.

God loved us so much that He gave us His only Son. His Son, Jesus, died so that we can have eternal life.
Jesus was moved with compassion when He saw the lost. And His prayer was that we, the laborers, must go into the world and reap a harvest of souls. We do this by leading people to Jesus and disciple them.

Mar 16:15-20 MKJV  And He said to them, Go into all the world, proclaim the gospel to all the creation.  (16)  He who believes and is baptized will be saved, but he who does not believe will be condemned.  (17)  And miraculous signs will follow to those believing these things: in My name they will cast out demons; they will speak new tongues;  (18)  they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will be well.  (19)  Then indeed, after speaking to them, the Lord was taken up into Heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.  (20)  And going out, they proclaimed everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the Word by miraculous signs following. Amen.

From these verses we can clearly see that we must go into the world and reflect the love of God to all the world.

Discipleship - Be God to all people, everywhere


2Ti 2:1-2 GNB  As for you, my son, be strong through the grace that is ours in union with Christ Jesus.  (2)  Take the teachings that you heard me proclaim in the presence of many witnesses, and entrust them to reliable people, who will be able to teach others also.

Col 3:16 GNB  Christ's message in all its richness must live in your hearts. Teach and instruct one another with all wisdom. Sing psalms, hymns, and sacred songs; sing to God with thanksgiving in your hearts.

 It is very clear from these bible verses that we are called to teach people the word of God. 

Eph 5:1-2 WNT  Therefore be imitators of God, as His dear children.  (2)  And live and act lovingly, as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up to death on our behalf as an offering and sacrifice to God, yielding a fragrant odor.

Mat 28:18-20 MKJV  And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority is given to Me in Heaven and in earth.  (19)  Therefore go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  (20)  teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you. And, behold, I am with you all the days until the end of the world. Amen.

It is very clear from the Bible that we are called to disciple people. We are  called to imitate God here on planet earth. When people look at us they must see the love of God and His kindness to people.

Eph 6:19-20 MKJV  And pray for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,  (20) for which I am an ambassador in bonds; so that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. 

We are called to be ambassadors. We are send from heaven by God to this planet to reflex His love
