We are all a part of a family, and the Bible teaches us how to live wisely in families. Family is vital, and family is vulnerable (Proverbs 27:8). It is a critical part of our social and personal foundation. It has a deep influence in our lives, for good and sometimes not so good (Proverbs 6:16-19). It begins with honor and respect (Exodus 20:12). There is a structure to families, and discipline matters (Proverbs 23:13-14) (Proverbs 22:6); discipline comforts and protects (Psalm 23:4).
Finally, and most importantly, families forgive! We all fall short, and the Lord heals through forgiveness. Just as Christ forgave first, so also we should forgive (Ephesians 4:31-32).
