Summary

Ephesians 6:1–4 (ESV) Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), 3“that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.” 4 FATHERS, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. FATHERHOOD IS A BLESSING AND A RESPONSIBILITY Psalm 127:3–5 FATHERS WALK IN A MANNER WORTHY; NOT TO FRUSTRATE (in the flesh) BUT TO FEED (by faith) Chosen in Christ to be holy and blameless: Ephesians 1:3–4 Chosen in mercy & love, by grace through faith, to walk in his workmanship: Ephesians 2:1–10  Therefore, walk in good works as a father, in the calling to which he called you: Ephesians 4:1–3 (ESV) — 1 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Father in the power of Christ, through faith and repentance Ephesians 4:20–24 (ESV) — 20 But that is not the way you learned Christ!— 21assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22 to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Father in the redemption of Christ, with Christ-like words Ephesians 4:29–32 (ESV) — 29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Father in wisdom, not reckless uninhibitedness, but filled with the Spirit Ephesians 5:15–18 (ESV) — 15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, Galatians 5:22–26 (ESV) — 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
