If we parents must be sure of something, it is that God has blessed us by giving us the privilege of having children since the Bible categorically affirms that the children we have are a gift from God. The children born to us are our reward.
In that order of ideas we find the following verse reflected in the importance that parents teach their children about God and his word.
Deuteronomy 6: 6-7
6 And these words that I command you today will be on your heart;
7 and you will repeat them to your children, and you will speak of them being in your house, and walking on the road, and at bedtime, and when you get up.
Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960).
A child with a heart thankful to God will be a happy and firm adult in his ways Act to act
Parents obviously must be people directed by God so that they can also instruct their children, they must have the treasured word in their heart, since considerably the heart is considered the seat of the mind and the will and as parents we have the greatest responsibility to instruct and correct our children according to the word of God.
In effect, the word of God advises us to educate, instruct, and correct children as the Lord would.
Ephesians 6: 4
And you, the parents, do not make your children resentful; rather educate them, instruct them, and correct them as the Lord would.
God knows the importance of raising children in his word since it is the only way to have morally and spiritually healthy adults.
Parents have the responsibility to raise their children and it is important that parents can reflect and recognize that this is not the responsibility of the grandparents, nor of the schools, although they help to promote and reinforce the values acquired by the parents, the school is not The one that has the responsibility to raise our children as well as the state, nor the companions and friends is a unique responsibility and directly from the parents whom God has designated for such work.
¿What is the importance of teaching children about God at home?
First of all, I want to emphasize that parents who know the importance of having God in their hearts know that it is a blessing to experience all the physical, moral and spiritual benefits and contributions ... that we have come to feel in addition to the eternal salvation of our souls, we know that it is not obsolete, but essential, that our children can come to believe and treasure God in their hearts, in order to maintain a balance between their development and life, which will equip them. being a better person and being a happy adult aimed at walking the right path
Proverbs 22: 6
6 Instruct the child in his career: Even when he is old he will not depart from it.
(RVA)
Our home is the source of faith for our children. I can limit that as a teacher of young people I have been able to visualize and verify that the young people who come from Christian families are stronger, firmer and happier than the children who come from homes that do not know God, because their actions and their behavior demonstrate more firmness , their own identity and better development about what they really want.
They are risky young people, strong and full of faith, which makes them firmer and with a balanced self-esteem.
We parents have all the necessary tools to instruct our children so that tomorrow they will be committed adults, happy and above all full of God.
