What is the signs of a christian father?

Answer 1

A Christian father has many qualities that are expressed through Bible texts. A Christian father is commanded to raise his children in the faith, giving spiritual regulation and support to his family. In Ephesians 6:4 it states, "And you, fathers, do not be irritating your children, but go on bringing them up in the discipline and mental-regulating of Jehovah [God]." Another scripture, which helps us to see what a Christian father should do can be found at Deuteronomy 11:18, 19, which reads, "'and you must apply these words of mine [God's] to your heart and your soul and bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they must serve as a frontlet and between your eyes, you must also teach them to your sons, so as to speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up.'" These two scriptures help us to see that it is very important for a Christian father to raise his children, instilling in them the word of Jehovah God and his son Jesus Christ, but he must also live by those teachings himself. As a father and a husband, he is also commanded to take the lead and become the head of his household, submitting to Jesus Christ which is his head, and loving his wife (Ephesians 5:22-29).
