Romans 4:13
It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes with faith.
Psalm 78:1
O my people , hear my teaching, listen to the words of my mouth.
As early as I can remember my parents and grandparents taught me the Love of God and to always have Faith in Him. I cannot say my parents were perfect, because they weren’t, they had faults and sinned just as we all do in various ways. But most importantly, they had been Baptized and had accepted Christ as their Savoir. This does not give us permission to sin, but only, “that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.”
We cannot be born a Christian, we must learn to Love and Obey God. Once we have done this, and been Baptized accepting Christ as our Savior, we are a Christian. My parents and grandparents instilled this thought in me at home and by taking me to Church and Sunday School.
God decreed statutes, commanding our forefathers to teach their children these statutes and that their children would also do the same, even those yet to be born. In today’s time, with all the problems that are so prevalent throughout the world, it is extremely important as parents and grandparents that we instill Faith in God’s Love showing Obedience to Him to our children and to all the children of God by example.
Prayer: Holy Father, always be there giving us the strength to teach Your word to the children You have given to us so that we might serve You as You have commanded. AMEN
