Ephesians 6:1-4

The first passage on our list is Ephesians chapter six, verses one through four. This passage teaches us about the importance of honoring our parents. It says, “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother-which is the first commandment with a promise- that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” This passage reminds us that our parents are to be honored and respected. It also tells us that when we obey our parents, it goes well with us. This is a promise from God. When we honor our parents, we are blessed in many ways.

Colossians 3:20-21

The second passage on our list is Colossians chapter three, verses 20-21. This passage teaches us about the role of parents in the lives of their children. It says, “Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become disheartened.” This passage reminds us that children are to obey their parents. It also tells us that fathers should not be harsh with their children. When we are kind and loving to our children, they will be encouraged and thrive.

Proverbs 22:15

The third passage on our list is Proverbs chapter 22, verse 15. This passage teaches us about the value of children. It says, “Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.” This passage reminds us that children are precious and need to be treated with care. It also tells us that discipline is important for children. When we discipline our children, we are helping them to avoid the pitfalls of life.

Proverbs 31:28-29

The fourth passage on our list is Proverbs chapter 31, verses 28-29. This passage teaches us about the importance of families. It says, “Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: ‘Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.'” This passage reminds us that families are important. It also tells us that mothers are to be respected and honored. When we honor our mothers, we are honoring the family.

Deuteronomy 6:4-9

The fifth and final passage on our list is from Deuteronomy.

This passage teaches us about the importance of raising our children in the ways of the Lord. It says, “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.”

This passage reminds us that we are to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and strength. It also tells us that we are to teach our children about the Lord. When we raise our children in the ways of the Lord, they will be blessed.

Final Thoughts

These are just a few of the many Bible passages that teach us about families. As you can see, the Bible has a lot to say about families. If we want to have strong families, we need to be diligent in our study of God’s word. We also need to be intentional in our application of what we learn. When we do these things, we will be blessed with strong families that are a source of strength and encouragement to us. What a blessing that is! Thanks be to God!
