The Holy Bible
From training up children to honoring parents, Scripture speaks richly about the home. These Bible verses about family bless households that choose to serve the Lord together.
“But if it is unpleasing in your sight to serve the LORD, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD!””
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
“Children are indeed a heritage from the LORD, and the fruit of the womb is His reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. He will not be put to shame when he confronts the enemies at the gate.”
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (which is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life on the earth.” Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.”
“These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts. And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”
“Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of a son is his father.”
“Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, so they will not become discouraged.”
“If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”
“But from everlasting to everlasting the loving devotion of the LORD extends to those who fear Him, and His righteousness to their children’s children— to those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.”
“They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.””
“Honor your father and mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.”
“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.”
