"Honor your father and your mother, for this is the first commandment with promise." Ephesians 6:2
"...with promise." Have you ever wondered what the promise is that comes with honoring your parents? Yes, Biblically it is "long life," but there's an additional promise.
If one honors his parents, obeys them in his youth and helps them through the difficulties of old age--lovingly, without grudge or disdain--he assures himself of his own self-regard.
One who honors his
parents will never have to look at himself in the mirror and say, "I had
a commission from the LORD HIMSELF, and I betrayed it."
One who does not honor his parents cannot really honor himself, for he is a composite of who they are.
One who does not honor his parents cannot really honor GOD, for "How can you love God who you have not seen if you do not love man whom you have seen?" I John 4:20
