Family Meaning
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think?
So what is behind the story? Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = FATHER AND MOTHER I LOVE YOU
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Genesis 12:3
Additional Bible Verses On Family
Acts 16:33-34 NIV
At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then
immediately he and all his family were baptized. The jailer
brought them into his house and set a meal before them; he was filled with joy
because he had come to believe in God-he and his whole family.
Galatians 6:10 NIV
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to
those who belong to the family of believers.
1 Timothy 3:5 NIV
If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he
take care of God's church?
1 Timothy 5:3-8 NIV
Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need. But if a widow
has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their
religion into practice by caring for their own family and so
repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God. The
widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and
continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help. But the widow who
lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives. Give the people these
instructions, too, so that no one may be open to blame. If anyone does not
provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family,
he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
1 Peter 4:16-17 NIV
However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that
you bear that name. For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do
not obey the gospel of God?
