Strengthening Christian values in the family
What God demands primarily from the family is that the next generations be able to speak about him and everything he has done and specifically about his great love for children.

God wants children to grow up knowing who He is and what He represents for the family. It is the task of parents to make the love of God known to their children and that all this is transmitted from one generation to another, in which the children grow in the fear and love of God.
The relevance of the majestic work of God with which he brought his people Israel out of slavery in Egypt, had to be taught to the children and in turn, to the following generations.
Hear, Israel: Jehovah our God, Jehovah is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words that I send you today will be on your heart; and you will repeat them to your children, and you will speak of them while you are at home, and walking along the road, and when you lie down, and when you get up. And you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontals between your eyes; and you shall write them on the posts of your house, and on your doors Deuteronomy 6: 4-9
What God asks first is that every family love Him with all their heart, with all their soul, with all their mind and strength. Love as a Christian value must prevail in the family nucleus, in order to maintain unity with God and with his perfect will, so that the family multiplies. In the same way, God demands that his word be taught to children throughout all generations, so that in all times and centuries there may be families that fear God and that they honor him at all times.
God also demands that parents keep his word firmly and faithfully so that they can teach it to their children with example and testimony.
Carefully keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, and his testimonies and his statutes that he has commanded you. And do what is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah, so that it may go well for you, and you may enter and possess the good land that Jehovah swore to your fathers; so that he may drive out your enemies from before you, as the Lord has said. Tomorrow when your son will ask you, saying: What do the testimonies and statutes and decrees that Jehovah our God commanded you mean? then you shall say to your son: We were Pharaoh's servants in Egypt, and the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. Deuteronomy 6: 17-21
Family is a gift from Heaven ❤️
