Happy Father's Day ❗❗
Posted : 16 Jun, 2024 11:11 AM

Honor for your Father is an important theme throughout the Bible. The entire Old Testament is based on a patriarchal system. Some father’s are easy to love. Some dad’s seem to be a terrific ideal and it is not difficult to honor them on Father’s Day and throughout their lives. Some father’s are more difficult to love. They may not have been dependable. They may have left when you were young. Perhaps they were in the home, but not there at the same time. Regardless of what your relationship is like with your Father, what he has done, or what he has not done there is an overlying principle in Scripture that our Father is to be honored.



Ephesians 6:1-3 KJV is one of the two verses we turn to by default when speaking of our relationship with our father. Paul’s quote in Ephesians comes directly from the Ten Commandments. In the Bible, “Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.” Exodus 20:12 KJV Honoring your father means to love and respect him. It is not only the right thing to do, this commandment holds with it the promise that you will live a long life
