Children of a Christian Family
Children should be taught to be submitted and fully obedient to their Christian parents. And if they will, long lives and other blessings are promised to them:
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother" (which is the first commandment with a promise), "that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the earth" (Eph. 6:1-3).
Christian fathers, as heads of their families, are given the primary responsibility for the training of their children:
And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Eph. 6:4).
Note that the father's responsibility is two-fold: to bring his children up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Let us first consider the need to discipline children.
