How can children reflect their faith in their everyday lives?

Dr. Joel Beeke emphasizes that the biblical model of building, dwelling, and planting applies not only to parents but to children as well. Children are called to follow in the footsteps of their parents as pilgrims, pleading for their own salvation and believing in Christ alone. They are encouraged to obey and honor their parents faithfully, as this mirrors their attitude toward God. It's essential for children to see their parents walking in God's ways and understand that discipline is rooted in biblical commands, encouraging a cheerful obedience.

As children grow, they are urged to live fully for the Lord, making decisions like choosing a career or a spouse that align with biblical teachings. They should pray for a God-fearing spouse and strive to be one themselves, valuing the church and family as integral parts of life. Children need to approach their future careers with the intention of glorifying God, assessing their gifts, and considering how they can be most useful in God's kingdom.
