Presentation transcript:

YOU CAN OVERCOME THE EVIL ONE! 1 John 2:12 I am writing to you, little children, Because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake. 1 John 2:13 I am writing to you, fathers, Because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, Because you have known the Father. 1 John 2:14 I have written to you, fathers, Because you know Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the evil one.

Be Who You Want Your Children to Be If we want them to be Christians we must set the right example; teaching, reproving, & correct them with God’s word (2 Ti. 3:16-17). God set forth a perfect example for His Son who saw, heard, and obeyed Him in everything. (John 5:19, 30; 12:49-50; 15:10) Before Jesus taught His disciples, He had God’s word in His heart & overcame sin (Mt. 4:3-11). We must have God’s word in our heart before we teach our children or grandchildren to obey. (Deut. 6:6-8; 4:9; Eph. 5:1-2; 6:1-4)

Be Who You Want Your Children to Be What are your children learning, receiving, hearing, and seeing in you (cf. Phil. 4:9)? Sometimes we are blind to our faults and may condemn our children’s behavior when we are practicing the same thing (Rom. 2:1-3). If so, we must remove the beams so that we can judge righteously (Mt. 7:1-5; John 7:24) If we don’t, our children will likely see through our hypocrisy and follow our evil ways. Our actions speak louder than our words (Lk. 6:46)!

Be Who You Want Your Children to be …in the Use of Your Time Compared to eternity, we have a very short time to train them. We must use our time wisely to help them remember God in their youth before the devil can entice them to do his will. (Eph. 5:15; Eccl. 12:1; 2 Ti. 2:26; Ro. 6:16) Since the days are swiftly passing towards eternity, we must prioritize and put God’s will first above our desires (Ps. 90:10; Mt. 6:33).

Be Who You Want Your Children to be …in the Use of Your Time Your children should observe punctuality in you. (services, job, appointments, promises made) They should see you completing your tasks. (Bible study, household obligations, paying bills) If you are failing to fulfill your commitments (because of TV, computer, hobbies, sports), don’t be surprised if your children are neglectful of their duties and responsibilities. (chores, homework, study, readiness, etc.)

Be Who You Want Your Children to be …in Gratitude We are so bountifully blessed in this country. (freedom to worship, food, clothing, shelter) Do your children see in you a grateful or a grumbling attitude (1 Thess. 5:18; Phil. 2:14)? God gives people over to sin when they don’t give thanks or honor Him (Rom. 1:21ff). Too many demand their rights when they haven’t been taught by their parents to be grateful. (prayers to God, saying please, thank you, writing TY notes)

Be Who You Want Your Children to be …in Honesty and Respect If you want your children to be honest, tell them the truth and to your spouse (don’t lie to them, for them, or try to cover up their sin). (Ephesians 4:25) If they see hypocrisy, don’t be surprised if they cheat at school, or lie to get out of trouble. If you want your children to be respectful, use graceful (complimentary) instead of shameful speech (profanity, insult, exasperate, etc.). (Eph. 4:29; Phil. 4:8; Col. 3:21)

Be Who You Want Your Children to be …in Worship to God Since the Father seeks those who will worship Him in spirit and truth, they should see you have a zeal for praising God (John 4:23; Ps. 122:1). If you want your children to worship regularly with the saints, you must be diligent to be there at every service possible (Hebrews 10:25). If you make excuses, don’t be surprised if they beg you to miss for studying for a test, homework, a ball game, or getting a job.

Be Who You Want Your Children to be …in Worship to God While attendance is necessary, active participation is even more important. They should see that you are giving cheerfully, singing joyfully, reverently partaking of the Lord’s supper, and examining the Scriptures that are used in the sermon. (2 Cor. 9:7; Eph. 5:19; Acts 2:42; 17:11) If you are bored (cf. Mal. 1:13), don’t be surprised if they quit worshiping God or are sporadic in their attendance when they leave home.

Be Who You Want Your Children to be …in Service to God Because of God’s mercies toward us, we offer our bodies as a sacrifice to Him (Rom. 12:1). If you want your children to enjoy learning God’s word, they must see it in you (Psalm 1:2). Do you pray in adversity & prosperity (1 Th. 5:17)? Do they see you helping others in time of need? (1 Tim. 5:4; Js. 1:27; Ga. 6:10; 1 Jn. 3:16-18) Do they see you teaching others (2 Tim. 2:24-26)? Do you practice hospitality (Rom. 12:13)?

Be Who You Want Your Children to be …in Your Marriage If you want them to be pure in preparation for the future, they must see it in you (Hebrews 13:4). But many have not been taught modesty or have been enticed to commit adultery instead of making a covenant with their eyes. (1 Timothy 2:9; Matthew 5:27-28; Job 31:1) David’s sin of adultery with Bathsheba led him to decide to kill her husband and resulted in two of his sons (Absalom and Adonijah) rebelling against him (2 Samuel 12:10-11).

Be Who You Want Your Children to be …in Your Marriage When parents fail to fulfill their vows, it hurts the credibility in the children’s minds of being married for life as God desires (Matthew 19:6). Love your spouse, keep your vows, and help your children to flee from youthful lusts. (Eph. 5:25; Titus 2:4; 2 Tim. 2:22; Ps. 119:9) By being faithful in your marriage you can help them avoid the consequences of fornication (STD’s, AIDS, abortion, divorce, torment) (Proverbs 5:11; 7:23, 27; 1 Cor. 6:9-11)

Conclusion God has given you (not someone else) your children to train them up to know His will. As parents, we realize that we fail to do what’s right sometimes but let’s not make excuses, shift the blame, or try to justify ourselves. (Heb. 12:9-10; 1 John 1:8-10; Pr. 28:13) Their first impressions of who God is will come from their experience in your home and will influence who they will marry, how they will raise their own children, and for all of eternity!

Conclusion Before you can put God’s word in your children’s hearts it must be in yours (Deut. 6:6). You must live it before you can teach it. There is no greater detriment to parenting than hypocrisy. Your children are watching and depending on you to do what is right. God expects you to be a doer of His word….He & your children know if you are (Jas. 1:22-25).

Conclusion Be who you want your children to be and this will help them to overcome (overcome sin, enjoy a lifelong relationship, and go to heaven one day). We only live our lives once and we can’t turn back the clock. But if we have failed, there is forgiveness of sins but it is only available in Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:38; 8:20-22)
