Who is “our neighbors?” • All people are our neighbors • We are to love those we like as well as our enemies. (Matthew 5:44)
Fourth Commandment “Honor your father and your mother” What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not despise or anger our parents and other authorities but honor them, serve and obey them, love and cherish them.
AUTHORITY Parents and anyone who God has place over us and has authority over us.
HONOR “to show respect and publicly esteem someone” RESPECT “to hold someone in honor and esteem” ESTEEM “to regard highly or favorable with respect or admiration.” To give honor means “to show them and treat them with great respect.”
OBEY “to do as they ask”
OBEY “to do as they ask” “to give over and yield to the power or authority of another.”
SERVE “to gladly provide what they need”
LOVE “Putting the needs of another person before your own”
“…that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” Ephesians 6:3
As Christians, your first loyalty is to God, then your parents.
God Forbids in Fourth Commandment He forbids we despise them and anger them with our disobedience or by any other kind of sin.
Your parents are NOT perfect. Communicate and spend time with them. See things from their point of view. Hold your temper and don’t raise your voice.
