As you have heard before, our children learn best by watching us. Therefore, we must all take on the characteristics of God and be a good child of God example. A parent’s greatest responsibility is to teach their child(ren) to be a child of God and what that means in today’s world. It means taking on the character of God, for we are made in His image. We need to treat others with respect and see them as children of God. When we are kingdom people, we follow God’s greatest commandments to love God and love others.
