Christian Households
18Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
19Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.
20Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.
21Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become discouraged.
22Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord.
23Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men, 24because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. 25Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
No favoritism from our Father in heaven! What a wonderful thing.
We see in this scripture how we are to act, how a Christian home is to be.
I had heard second hand that a relative refuses to go to church because it is full of hypocrites.
Brethren, the world is watching you and how will they know you are His? They will know if you practice this scripture!
The relative misses the main point of why people go to church. They go because they are sinners. A church is a hospital for sinners. A source of physical therapy where we learn the heal and to become more like Christ. But we need to do our homework, to put into practice what we learned.
If you don't, how will the world know you are His? The world will only see a hypocrite.
Are you His or a hypocrite?
Blessings, David
