Lesson 1: God’s Perspective on Parenting
Our children belong to God. Scripture and the Holy Spirit are our ultimate guide in raising them. As parents, we’re called to train our children in righteousness, not based on culture or personal habits, but on God’s truth (2 Tim. 3:16–17; Rom. 12:2). God desires restored relationships between parents and children (Mal. 4:6; Luke 1:17), and this starts at home—by loving God, living out our faith, and teaching our children daily.
