Con trai tôi, hãy giữ lời răn của cha, và đừng bỏ luật pháp của mẹ ngươi: Hãy liên tục trói buộc chúng vào trái tim bạn, và buộc chúng quanh cổ bạn (Tục ngữ 6:20-21)
Honor your father, and your mother, so that you shall have a long life. That’s a commandment and a promise of the Lord, Cha của chúng ta. It is important for the Lord, that you will obey your parents and submit yourself to them. Why is this important? Because the parents are ambassadors of the Kingdom of Heaven. They are representatives of the Most High God. When you don’t obey your parents, and don’t submit to their will, then how can you obey God and submit to Him?
When a you grow up and want to go your own way. When you don’t honor your parents, by not obeying to them and by not doing their will, be rebellious towards them etc., then when you grow up, it shall be very hard for you to submit to the Lord, and to obey Him, và làm theo ý Ngài.
As long as the will of a child, will not be ‘broken’ during childhood, the child shall always want to do his/her own will. The will of the child can become a bottleneck in the rest of his/her life. It is therefore important as a parent, to raise a child in the fear of the Lord; trong lời của anh ấy, and to teach the child to be obedient and correct them.
Vâng lời cha mẹ
For you, as a child, it’s important to obey your parents. Listen to the commandment of your father and to the law of your mother, được lấy cảm hứng từ Lời Chúa. Bind them upon your heart and tie them about your neck, so that they won’t leave you. Think about them everyday, và bước vào đó. Do not depart from them.
Bạn nên biết, that your parents love you, and only want the best for you. Just like the Father loves us, và có given us His commandments, because He only wants the best for us and keep us from harm.
