We live in a world where the definition of a family has changed over the years. We now have divorced parents. Step parents. Single parents. No parents. Two Dads. Two Moms. The family today is a long, long way from where and how God looks at the family.
Were you aware that the “family” was really, initially, God’s idea? He created the family. He designed the family. He created Adam and then created the woman out of Adam. The first Adam was a male and the first Eve was a female. And I am speaking biologically. That is the testimony of Scripture and Jesus. See Matthew 19:4-5. (BTW, this also means that God instituted marriage as well)
Was God aware that when He created Adam and Eve that the family would be what it is today or is He surprised at all this mixture? If you believe in the omniscience of God and the sovereignty of God, I know that you know the answer to that question.
God is not surprised! His definition of family hasn’t changed over the years and His guidance for the family hasn’t changed, either.
Husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved the church. Ephesians 5:25
Wives are to complete their husbands by being submissive to him. Eph. 5:22
Both are to serve the Lord!
Children are to obey their parents! Ephesians 6:1-3
That family is to acknowledge the Lordship of Christ in their lives.
They are to serve Christ in and through the local Church.
