Children Obey Your Parents
Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: 3 “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.
To whom is this given? If you think to only little children, you would not be entirely correct. This admonition is given to all men. This is taken from Gods 5th command and the only one with promise of reward. They all have reward if honored but here it is clearly stated. I heard some parents say, "son, I brought you into this world and I can take you out." This is not actually true these days but it was in those.
Is there ever an age we are no longer children? Does this command only apply to a specific grouping? The answer is an obvious no. We are always children. Though when we become adults, we are no longer under our parents authority, we are always to honor them. This is the most basic foundational command we teach our kids as we raise them so the state will not. It takes true love to raise children.
The greatest impact to this command that we cant miss is this: We are children of our Father. Life or death is found in Him. There is living and then there is existing until you physically die. The LORD promises real living as you honor Him in this.
We are never to old to be someones child.
