Parents - Help Your Children to Love Jehovah

 "You must love Jehovah your God will your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind. - MATTHEW 22:37.

ON THEIR WEDDING day, the handsome groom and his beautiful bride listen closely as a Bible-based talk is delivered on the subject of marriage.  The principles being discussed in that talk are not new to them. But from this day forward, the information will take on greater meaning. Why?  Because they will be applying it as a married couple.

It is similar when a Christian couple become parents.  Over the years, they may have heard a number of talks on the subject of raising children.  But now those principles will take on new meaning for them.  They are going to have a child of their own to bring up.  What an awesom responsibility!  Certainly, new circumstances can change our perspective on well-known Bible principles.  This is one reason why Jehovah's worshipppers read the Scriptures and, as Israel's kings were told to do, meditate on them"all the days" of their life. - DEUTERONOMY 17:19.  

Parents, you have one of the greatest privileges a Christian can have, namely, to teach your children about Jehovah.  But you want to do more than merely impart information about our God.  You want to help your children to love him dearly. What can you do to instill love for Jehovah in your children?  In this article, we will discuss four  Bible principles that can help you as  parents. (2 Timothy 3:16)   We will also see how some Christian parents have benefited from applying Bible counsel.
