Family According to God

Gen 2: 18 Then the Lord God said: It is not good for man to be alone. I'm going to give you a proper help. 19 Then the Lord God formed out of the ground every bird of the sky and every beast of the field, and he brought them to the man to see what he would name them. Man named all living beings, and by that name they are known. 20 Thus the man was naming all the domestic animals, all the birds of the sky and all the animals of the field.However, no help suitable for man was found among them.

God saw that not even the animals He created were a good companion for man. Why?

-God created Adam and gave him everything that He had created so that he would rule.

-He gave Adam the task to name all the animals.

-How long would it have taken you to name all the animals?

-Before giving him the task of naming them, God recognized that he was alone.

-Why not give him the woman at that time?

Genesis 2:18–19 NASB95

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.” Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.”

Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.

-God created the woman but not before allowing Adam to first realize that he was alone.

-God permitted that Adam be established first.

-Adam knew and understood how to live and please God.

-After all that, God allows Adam to fall into a great dream.

Genesis 2:21–25 NASB95

So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

God establishes marriage. This is how creation was intended to always work and not deviate from. These principles since have been changed by standards and beliefs created by society and the devil to overthrow what God created as the first established order of creation.

-Before there were governments, laws, schools, education, religions, money, businesses, God created marriage.

-The first institution ordained by God.

-A man and a woman in holy union.

-The second thing is that they multiply.

-The first miracle that Jesus performed was at a wedding in Galilee.

This highlight the importance of a man and a woman coming together. Any variation of this is man made and not biblical.

The Order was to submit to one another.

God created man first in His image and likeness so that they may rule over all

God's creation.

Man must be submitted to God this is part of the original design.

For a man to be prosperous and know how to lead a family he has to submit

bye bye.

Ephesians 5:23–25 NASB95

For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,

Men:

-Do not expect a woman to submit if you are not willing to submit to God first.

-When a Man does not submit, he loses connection with God.

-He will not be able to provide direction for his family.

-Things will be out of God’s order.

-Leading our families with only our strength and wisdom always leads us to fail, we need God to be present and active.

Ephesians 5:28 So also husbands should love their women as their very bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.

Children:

Duties with our children:

Prov. 22:6 Lead your children on the right path, and when they are older, they will not abandon it.

Ephesians 6:4 Parents, don't make your children angry with the way you treat them. Rather, raise them with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.

Deut. 6-6 You must commit yourself with all your being to fulfill each of these mandates that I give you today. 7 Repeat them to your children over and over again. Talk about them in your conversations when you are at home and when you go on the road, when you go to bed and when you get up.

2 Tim 3:15 From childhood, you have been taught the Holy Scriptures, which have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus.
