Ephesians Chapter 6 Kids Today. Kids should also listen to their
parents. It's right there in the 10 Commandments. No breaking
curfew or sneaking out the window when you're supposed to be
grounded. But on the other hand, dads shouldn't abuse their power
or try to purposely tick off their kids. They should be loving and
understanding and help teach their little rugrats the proper way to
behave. Same thing goes for slaves: obey your masters. Don't just
follow orders when the master is watching, either. Do it all the
time. Because God is always watching. It might help to think of
yourself as a slave for Jesus. Don't just listen and obey because
some human master wants you to. Do it because God and Jesus want
you to. After all, God sees all the good things you're doing and he
will reward you for not being rebellious and disobedient. Okay, but
masters aren't totally off the hook either. Christian slave owners
have an obligation to treat their human property decently. Masters
need to remember that everyone on Earth is a slave to God. Everyone
has God for a master. As far as the Big Guy is concerned, there's
no difference between slaves and their owners. They're all equal.
In Heaven, of course. Onward Christian Soldiers. They need to put
on (spiritual) armor to protect themselves from this crazy world
and the devil who's running loose. Christians don't have to worry
so much about flesh and blood people messing with them. It's
institutions—like rulers and authorities—who can move society in a
bad direction. In an evil direction. They need to put on armor so
they can withstand the blows that are coming. Fasten the belt of
truth and sport a breastplate of righteous. Put on shoes of peace
and take a shield of faith with you. Slap on a helmet of salvation
and swing the sword of the Spirit at the bad guys. He is in prison,
after all. And that's the end. www.shmoop.com
