This verse instructs children to obey their parents in the
Lord. What this means is that children should obey Godly parents. Parents who are in the
Lord are spiritual parents. In the Lord also means that the Lord expects children to
obey their parents. In the Lord means that we as children are his representatives. In
the Lord means that he has set our parents over us and we should honor them by
obeying.
It is a commandment to honor our parents. Parents
teach children right from wrong. Parents know best because they are older and more
experienced about life. As children, we are to show respect to our parents by obeying
what they tell us to do.
With the commandment of Honor your
father and mother, there is a blessing attached. If you show honor to your parents, all
will go well with you and you may live long upon the
earth.
It is to a child's benefit to honor his or her
mother and father. Honoring those who have authority over us is extremely important.
There is a chain of command set up and it is to our benefit to show honor to our
parents. It is God's system of order. Without order, it would be total chaos. That is
why God wrote the commandment of honoring our parents. God is
orderly.
