NT Books of the Bible

Similar to the fifth commandment: Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right. Honor your father and your mother so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth (Ephesians 6:1- 4). One may ask what constitutes obeying honoring and loving one's parents? The answer lies inside this text. Should children willfully and unquestioningly accept their parents' authority treat them with respect appreciate and love them unconditionally and provide for them when they become senior citizens and cannot fend for themselves? Another question that one might ask is what if their parents are engaged in dishonorable activities that contravene the commandments? What should they do especially if they are adult children? Again the answer lies inside this text. Should children be forever obligated to their parents no matter what because their parents gave them life? If the child should choose to disparage their parent will it contravene God's covenants and second-guess God? If for whatever reason parents are hard to honor does it mean they have lost or never had admirable qualities or hone behaviors that are ignoble or sinful? Do children still need to extend honor to them because they are life-giving parents? God would want you to help bring them to redemption by repenting and returning to God's favor. Learn how.
