IN the scriptures, the Lord directs people who are parents to teach their children the gospel, the word of God, the light.
3 Nephi 22:13
And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.Isaiah 54:13
And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
When parents obey the teachings of God, practicing the principles of all goodness and righteousness with love, great will be the peace of their children when they grow into adulthood. What a child is taught, shown by example and by experience from his/her parents, will be what that child will live in adulthood (Proverbs 22:6). This is how our past makes our present, what we are at this moment. What creates our future is what we are as we sow our life and what we reap later is our future.
What then will occur if the teachings of our children are seeped in wickedness, falsehoods, pride and all manner of idolizing ambition (dark, selfish, prideful or bitterness)?
