By Michelle GuanzonMay 29th, 2016

God is love. Because God love us, He sent people to guide and show his love through them. Parents are gift from God. What we do to them is like what we are doing towards our parent in Heaven Who is always watching us.

These Bible verses below are those proof that parents are God gifts and how can we give glory to God with our parents:

Ephesians 6:1-4

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother" (this is the first commandment with a promise), "that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land." Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Colossians 3:20 

Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.

Matthew 15:4

For God commanded, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and, 'Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.'

Proverbs 1:8

Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching,

Ephesians 6:1-3

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother" (this is the first commandment with a promise), "that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land."

Exodus 20:12

"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

Deuteronomy 21:18-21

"If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and, though they discipline him, will not listen to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, 'This our son is stubborn and rebellious; he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.' Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones. So you shall purge the evil from your midst, and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
