Filial children are created. (Ephesians 6:1~4)
We have become one family by the blood of Jesus in the grace of God.
It will not be easy, but all children in this world should be considered my children.
However, because the reality is that this is not the case, at least the children living in the neighborhood,
We have to think of our children as if they were our own children.
We often think that children who are filial should be born.
However, there are not many innate filial piety.
That is why most people have heartburn because of their illegitimate children.
Life can be ruined.
1. You must teach.
1) If you want your children to prosper and live a long life, you must teach them. (Deuteronomy 5:16)
2) In order to enjoy an abundant life, we must teach it (Proverbs 22:4~6).
3) In order to receive the blessing of prospering in the soul, we must teach it (Proverbs 23:13~14).

I was raised by faith.
The author of Lincoln's biography said, "God did not give him any conditions that made him great, but he gave him a mother of poverty and of good faith."
The only condition for Lincoln's greatness was the wonderful nurturing of the word through prayer.
It was my mother.
4. It must be a channel of blessing.
“You are the channel of blessing in the grace of God.
Through you the nations will return to the Lord.”
We must become the channel of blessing and the stepping stone of blessing.
Pathways and stepping stones can do little on their own, but
Just sitting still in that place will play an important role.
As we have always been, we are in a relationship between God and His children.
