Title Ephesians 06:4 I love children

i like my children
Ephesians 6:4)
We want our children to be great parents so that they can say, "I have the greatest respect for my parents."
What kind of parents love their children?
1. Parents who love their children do not provoke their children.
The text of the text (Ephesians 6:4) He also says, “Fathers, do not provoke your children.”
Here the word "to anger" is recorded in the joint translation as "to hurt the heart." In the original Greek, the present imperative of 'parorgizo' is 'parorghizetti', which is the second person of the present imperative.
Codington of the University of Louisiana Medical School looked at why children between the ages of 5 and 12 are more irritable, and found that anger and depression are more likely to be caused by relationships with parents than relationships with friends. When parents don't listen carefully, when they see their father slap their hands on their mother, when their parents exaggerate or lie, when their parents force them to be arrogant, they become angry and depressed. .
In any case, angering your child should be avoided. Amen.
2. Parents who love their children thoroughly educate (educate/train) their children.
In the middle of Ephesians 6:4, the text says, "... but bring them up in the culture of the Lord." The word "culture" here means education in Greek, and it also means training. Just as a person who has been trained to climb a mountain easily conquers a mountain, an educated/trained person will reach the summit.
Our children need religious education.
The Bible (Proverbs 22:6) says teach a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. In addition, it emphasizes the need to teach at the time of “childhood” (Prov. 22:15, Prov. 23:13, 2 Tim. 3:15).
What kind of religious education do you need?
G. holiness education
God's Word emphasizes educating children about sanctification.
In the Bible Proverbs, it is said to make friends with wise friends (Proverbs 13:20). And he was told not to associate with fools (Proverbs 14:1; Proverbs 28:26). He also told us not to associate with fools (Psalm 14:1).
N. chastity education
God's Word emphasizes educating children about the consciousness of chastity. It also depends on whether or not children can truly succeed.
The apostle Paul instructs us to “clean ourselves” in order to become “vessels for honor” (2 Timothy 2:20-22). It has always been said that God's people should be clean in matters of money and reason (1 Timothy 6:7-12). Proverbs warns that once you fail in the problem of reason, you will go "the road of no return" (Proverbs 2:9). In particular, sexual issues should be clearly educated when children are young so that there is no side effect. If you fall into a trap because it is too late, recovery is difficult (Proverbs 5:3-5, Ecclesiastes 7:26).
c. honest education
The religious education emphasized in Proverbs 13:21-23 is education about honesty and integrity.
The language emphasizes honesty in life (Ephesians 4:25, 29-30). It emphasizes the integrity of working life (Proverbs 16:8, Proverbs 28:6, Psalm 37:16). Honesty and sincerity are the greatest assets in life, so we need to educate them from an early age to raise them as children who receive God's blessings. Amen.
According to psychologists, "a person's personality, values, habits, etc. are mostly formed by the influence he received from his parents when he was young, and the influence of others at school is very small."
I hope that you will become parents who teach by setting an example at home how to love God and live the church life correctly, praying and giving thanks.
Israelis educate their children biblically,
G. Fear God the Father (Psalm 34:11). b, admonish them to honor their parents (Ex. 20:12). c. Teach parents obedience (Proverbs 23:22-25). L. It is said to give practical training for living in the world (Mark 6:3). It was through this education that the Jews who rule the world today were formed.
3. Parents who love their children discipline their children thoroughly.
In the second half of Ephesians 6:4, the text says, "...but bring them up in the Lord's admonition." Here, "discipline" is the Greek word 'nusedia', which means 'admonition, advice, recommendation' with respect to the basic word 'spirit, reason, thought, judgment, concept, meaning', and the object word is 'to fix, decide , take root. Therefore, there are exhortation admonitions in several places in the Bible.
"Discipline" is to correct wrongdoing and teach us not to fall into sin and evil. Therefore, if you truly love your child, it should not be done with good words and appropriate words. Sometimes you need a whip of pain. There is discipline and a whip because of love.
The Bible (Proverbs 19:20) Hear counsel and instruction, and you will eventually become wise. (Proverbs 1:8) My son, listen to the instruction of your father, and do not depart from the law of your mother (Proverbs 4: 1) Sons, listen to your father's instruction, and be careful that you gain understanding. (Proverbs 13:24) A man who is not full of progress hates his child, and he who loves them disciplines them diligently (Proverbs 29:17). Discipline, and he will give you peace and give joy to your heart.
There is an old saying, "If you spare the whip, you will forsake your children." The Reformer Martin Luther said, "Take a whip and educate your children. But put an apple next to the whip and give it to your children when they do well." Famous painter Benjamin West, in his memoirs, went out with his mother leaving his brother to Benjamin. While my mother was away, I drew a picture of my little brother with a few paints. He ran out of paint on the drawing paper and couldn't draw properly. Then my mother returned. The mother encouraged him by kissing him on the forehead, saying that he wasn't angry and scolded, but that you were trying to draw his brother. Benjamin said that his mother's kiss made me angry. It is not just a banter, but a greater discipline that encourages patience, tolerance, and love. We must not discourage our children. The Bible (Proverbs 29:15) says that whip and rebuke give wisdom, but if left alone, a child dishonors its mother. Indeed, the whip of love is not the last resort, but the first, and it is the most effective.
So we all said "I like children." - Amen -.
