Biblically Based Parental Roles

Introduction

Various aspects that determine the code of conduct of a given society define the process of bringing up a child. It is expected that a child should meet the moral standard of the particular society whereby the aspects such as faith, the agreed norms of the society, and the rules determine morals and regulations set by the state. These roles are bequeathed to the parents who are the most immediate persons to whom a child encounters. They are crucial in interpreting the world for the child. This paper will address the biblical role of parents in bringing up a child.

Past approaches

Different approaches have been adopted in parenting that ends up affecting the well-being of children. In most cases, authoritative, conservative, and permissive approaches. The authoritative approaches are classified as one of the best of the approach as it calls for obedience (Teti & Cole, 2011).

Current research

These words were given directly to the children of Israel, but God also spoke to us. Proverbs 4: 10-11 (New Century) "My Son, Listen and Receive, and You Will Live Longer. 11 I Lead you to the Way of Wisdom "Children trained on Bible principles and the divine way of life avoid rebellion against ruthlessness, violence, immorality, and authority, often leading to unnecessary premature death. When he led him to the earth, he focused not only on getting there but also on using the word of God (His commandments) to build the foundations, children, and children they could live in. Joshua (24:15) proclaimed, "But with me and my house, I am serving the Lord" (Halley, 2000).

Deut 4: 9-10 states; Watch out, be vigilant not to forget what your eyes saw, and make them disappear from your heart while you are alive. Teach them to your kids and their kids. (10) Recall the moments when you were before your God in Horeb and told me. For children. “Deuteronomy 4:40 Obedience builds habits and personalities that promote longevity (Halley, 2000).

From the New International Version Deuteronomy chapter6: 4-9. (4) Listen to the Lord, commanded both parents to transfer the commandments from their hearts to those of their kids (Halley, 2000). The parents should also offer guidance to children in all aspects of life. The parents are mandated to ensure that they bring up their children knowing the Ten Commandments, as they should talk about them anywhere.

Faith Issues

The bible has been dominant in laying the way forward on the best practices of bringing up the child. The bible calls for obedience, as it is the best approach that assures longevity in life. Parents are the instruments through which the Ten Commandments are passed to the children (Halley, 2000).

Conclusion

The bible is crucial in determining the role of parents in parenting. The bible calls for the obedience of the children that are in line with the authoritative approach. Parents should ensure that the will God through the Ten Commandments takes place. Biblically, parents have a crucial role in bringing up children.
