How to Raise a Godly Child in an Ungodly World
Motherhood is one of the most rewarding responsibilities in this life. Whether you became a mother through carrying a baby inside you or through adoption, your child is yours. You are responsible for caring for and nurturing your child. But did you know that it’s your responsibility to raise your child to know God and to make Him a constant companion in his or her life?
This tidbit of info is not top of mind when we think of taking care of our child. Most likely it is because we think our baby is too young to learn about God, or we moms don’t have a close relationship with Him. I am going to share 3 Biblical principles that will help you with raising a Godly child in this ungodly world we live in.
Ungodliness is being separated from God because of sin. It leads to disobedience to God and a lack of reverence for Him. This is not who you are called to be. You are created to live a life that glorifies and represents our Heavenly Father in public and in private.
We moms need GOD to live a Godly life and to teach our babies and children to do the same. I do mean God, as in our Heavenly Father, but I also mean G.O.D., which stands for:
Guidance
Obedience
Discipline
In the next 3 blog posts I will share how we can be the women and moms God created us to be so we can raise children and families who are rooted and grounded in the Lord.
Peace and Blessings,
