Why Are We To Teach Our Children To Obey God?

Monotheism is the faith in only one God. It was an unmistakable component of the Hebrew religion. Numerous old religions trusted in a large number of divine beings. However, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the God of the entire earth, the only genuine God. This was a significant knowledge for the country of Israel since they were going to enter a land loaded up with individuals who had faith in numerous divine beings. Both like back then, there are individuals who like to put their confidence in a wide range of "divine beings" today. But the day will come when God will be acknowledged as the only true God, and he will be the King over the entirety of the earth (Zechariah 14:9).

This entry of Scripture is regularly said to be the focal subject of Deuteronomy. It sets the example that assists us with relating the Word of God to our regular routines. We are to adore God, ponder his precepts, show his edicts to our kids, and carry on with our life’s day to day by the rules in his Word. God stressed the significance of showing the Bible to our children. The church congregation and the Christian schools cannot, and should not, be utilized to escape from this obligation. The Bible gives such countless chances for learning and commonsense instructing that it would be a disgrace to concentrate on it just a single day out of a seven-day week. Everlasting facts are most successfully and viably learned in the caring climate of a home that fears and love God (Deuteronomy 4:35-39).

Jesus said that loving God with our entire being (heart, soul, and mind) is the first and most prominent commandment (Matthew 22:37-39; Mark 12:29-31; Luke 10:27). Joined with this commandment, the love our neighbor commandment (Leviticus 19:18), includes all of the laws of the Old Testament.

The Hebrews were incredibly effective at making religion an essential piece of life. The justification for their prosperity was that religious schooling was life-arranged, not situated on data orientation. They utilized the setting of the day-to-day existence to instruct about God. The way to showing our kids God is expressed essentially and obviously in these verses. On the off chance that we want our youngsters to follow God, we should make God a piece of our everyday existence. We should train our kids to see God in all parts of life, in addition to those that are connected with the church congregation (Exodus 12:26; Deuteronomy 4:9; Psalm 78:4-6).

Moses cautioned the Israelites not to fail to remember God when they entered the Promised Land and became prosperous. Thriving, more than neediness, can dull our spiritual vision, since it will in general make us independent and anxious to get even a greater amount of everything, aside from God. Exactly the same thing can occur in our congregation today. When we become fruitful as far as numbers (church membership), projects (church programs), and building structures, we can undoubtedly become more independent and less responsive to our requirement for God. This drives us to focus on self-protection rather than gratefulness and service to God (Deuteronomy 8:10; Joshua 24:13; Matthew 4:10; Luke 4:8).

Does the phrase “for our good always” imply that we can expect just success and not to endure suffering when we submit to God? What is guaranteed here is a right connection with God for those who love him with their entire being. It discusses a right connection with God and a definitive advantage of knowing him. It is anything but a sweeping assurance against destitution, difficulty, or languishing. We can have this right connection with him by submitting to his order to adore him with all that we are (Deuteronomy 10:12).

What is a primer?

The online Merriam-Webster dictionary gives the following definition: it is a small book for teaching children to read – (to teach regardless of age), a small introductory book on a subject or a short informative piece of writing, a compound used to ignite a spark – (needed to start a fire), or a base coat like paint– protective layer. So, with that thought in mind, how do we put this into context with the passage of Scripture from today’s message?

To enable every age to learn how to obey God and to set their expectations in him, God directed that his laws and acts be instructed to children and that they ought to be passed from age to age. It is imperative for the next generation to learn not to continue with the same mistakes that the past generations have made (Deuteronomy 11:19). How are we passing on the works and Words of God?

This should not only apply to the physical age of people, but also to the spiritual age of people. In other words, not only should we teach the children but also the grown-ups. We need to provide learning of the Gospel to everyone. Young children learn to feed themselves, they learn to walk, and they learn to talk from their parents. We older Christians (in spiritual maturity), need to be teaching God’s Word to others.
