This week our study is from Ephesians 6:7-8:
With good will render service, as to the Lord, and not to men, knowing that whatever good thing each one does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether slave or free.

Our text for this week in Ephesians 6:1 continues the emphasis on family relationships.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.
This exhortation for children to obey their parents is for one reason—it is right. This one thing—children learning to obey their parents is one of the most important factors in teaching a child to discern right from wrong. Why is this? As the prophecies of Scripture make clear, one of the greatest evils to come upon the earth in the last days...
