STEEMCHURCH: Principles to strengthen the family.

What was God's purpose for the family, but what happened?

"BE fruitful and become many and fill the earth." (Genesis 1:28.) With these words addressed to Adam and Eve, Jehovah God gave birth to the family institution (Ephesians 3:14, 15). That first couple could foresee for the future an Earth full of their descendants, an extended family of perfect people who would live happily in a terrestrial paradise worshiping united to their Magnificent Creator. But Adam and Eve fell into sin, and the Earth was not filled with righteous and God-fearing people (Romans 5:12). On the contrary, the human family deteriorated immediately, and hatred, violence and lack of "natural affection" have predominated, especially in these "last days" (2 Timothy 3: 1-5, Genesis 4: 8, 23; 6: 5, 11, 12). The first thing you have to do to teach your children to love Jehovah is to love yourself. Intense love of God will motivate us to faithfully obey all of his instructions, including raising children "in the discipline and mental regulation of Jehovah" (Ephesians 6: 4). God advises parents to set an example for their children, communicate with them and teach them. Deuteronomy 6: 5-7 says: "You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your life force.

The family is a group of related people who live together. Set of ascendants, descendants, collaterals and related of a lineage.

The idea of creating a man and a woman was from God.
"And God created man in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. " Genesis 1:27
Marriage was designed by God to remedy the first problem of the human race: loneliness.
"And the Lord God said: It is not good for a man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him. " Genesis 2: 18
It is necessary that God be present in every home and family.
"If the Lord does not build the house, the work of the builders is a waste of time. If the Lord does not protect the city, protecting it with guards is useless. It is useless to try so hard, from early morning to late at night, and worry about getting food; because God gives rest to his loved ones ". Psalm 127: 1-2 NTV

Marriage and family were planned to bring happiness and not misery.

Jehovah wants all families to be spiritually strong and united. If we really love God and do our best to obey his Word, he will bless our efforts and give us the strength to follow his inspired counsel (Isaiah 48:17, Philippians 4:13). Remember that the opportunity we have now to teach and educate our children is limited and will not be repeated. Let us do our utmost to put into practice the counsel of the Word of God, and Jehovah will bless our commitment to form a strong family in a spiritual sense. God formed and modeled man and woman and then arranged them within matrimonial units. God's blessing on each of these couples would be shown when they conceive a new person that resembles both father and mother. God promotes this process by ordering couples to be fructified and multiply.

Marriage is not man's idea, it was divine idea. God created man with the ability to feel attraction towards the opposite sex: man towards woman, woman toward man. God gave Adam a suitable helper, a companion; a woman who was the support, the support; that both were a team. In his infinite wisdom, God chose two completely different people from each other, and after these two people make a permanent and faithful love pact, a miracle occurs: these two beings are mysteriously merged into one.

The blessing comes in fullness not when people are single, but when they get married. God blessed the couple and both received the same degree of responsibility. If the couple can stay in full harmony, these three blessings will remain upon them: Fructified, multiplied, señoread.

For that reason God wants to have a family and created us to be part of it. This is God's second purpose for your life; He planned it like this before you were born. The whole Bible is the story of God forming a family to love, honor and reign with him forever.

When we were born spiritually into the family of God, we received some amazing gifts: the name of the family, the similarity to the family, the family privileges, the access to the intimacy of the family and the family inheritance!

As children of God we have part in the family fortune. Here on earth God gives us the riches of his grace, goodness, patience, glory, wisdom, power and mercy. (EPHESIANS 1: 7; 3:16; 2: 4; ROMANS 2: 4; 9:23; 11:33) We also inherit eternal life. What an inheritance!

You are much richer than you think.

"God has an incalculable inheritance reserved for his children. It is preserved for you, pure and indestructible, uncontaminated and unbroken." 1 Peter1: 4

So God is looking for families that make a difference; to fight for the strengthening of moral values within their homes; that, with conviction and radicalism, they can show the world that, yes, it is possible in these difficult times, to raise families with principles based on the word of God; and a generation of children who do not run after the debauchery of this world. if not run for the biblical principles in a sound doctrine.

Ideally, a Christian family will have all its members committed to Christ and His service. When the husband, the wife and the children fulfill their designated functions of God, then peace and harmony will reign in the home.

A good Christian family is one that is aligned with biblical principles and in which each member understands and fulfills the function that God has given him.

The family is where we learn to glorify God and live for him. Today'S post teaches us that God is seeking Godly offspring. God’s has brought you together in flesh and spirit that you might have children who love God and serve him and whose seek to glorify him. Glorifying God is the purpose for our individual lives, as well as our family life. This is not something that just happens. It does not even happen just because you come to church and send your kids to Sunday School and youth group. It happens because in your home you show your love for God and you exemplify what it means to live and serve Jesus.

SHALOM!
