My Bible Story
God gave a special command: “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.” He also said, “Honor your father and mother,” and promised a blessing to those who obey. Romans 13 teaches that God places leaders over us, and respecting them is part of respecting God.
What This Teaches Us
- Obedience to parents pleases God.
- Respecting leaders shows maturity and honor.
- God blesses those who obey authority.
- Authority is part of God’s order.
Memory Verse
