What will they see in you?

A healthy marriage can help children to see God and Jesus. When children are young, what they know about God and Jesus will be seen in their parents. What can they see?

First, they need to see the our love for Jesus. Jesus gave His life so that they may live (Romans 6:16-18; 1 John 5:2-3). Second, they need to see our love for each other. Maybe children act badly because they don’t see righteousness in their parents (John 13:35; Titus 2:7-8). Third, they need to see us talk about hard subjects. Sex, drug abuse, and other moral issues have to be discussed by parents so that children can have happy lives (Proverbs 3:13; Galatians 5:19-21).

So what will they see in you? Will what they see help them to become Christians? Will what they see build their faith? Will what they see help them to be better husbands and wives? We should constantly teach our children, but they can learn a lot from just watching us. “What have they seen in thine house” (2 Kings 20:15)?
