One of God's challenges for children is the fulfillment of a commandment with promise.
The Bible says that we must honor our parents and God's love is needed to fulfill this commandment that brings promise.
Exodus 20:12
12 Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that Jehovah your God gives you.
New International Version (NIV)
We must respect and honor our parents because they were the people God used to bring us to earth and we must be a blessing to them, love them, respect them, bless them. Remember what you sow crops for it you must sow well in your parents so that your coming children can also honor you.
Honoring our parents brings a series of blessings because it is the first commandment with promise that describes success and length of years on earth, that is, when you honor your parents and bless them, God extends your life.
Parents deserve respect, obedience, honor and much love from their children, because no one really loves us on earth like them and the fact of God having chosen them as our parents is a reason for honor.
Children who do not honor or respect their parents are ungrateful and dishonor God carrying condemnation and short life.
Parents deserve honor whatever their situation has been since there are children who detract from this promise because they make an excuse not to bless their parents because they did not treat him well and in whatever way the children cannot be judges or stop Fulfill this command of God, because it is necessary to take into consideration that the commandment does not say that it is only for model parents or that they have behaved well or badly with their children.
Be wise and obedient to the word of God honor and bless your parents with love and sincerity.
