The value of family in a world in ruins

RESUMEN: The family is important to God and is the center of society. Satan attacked the family in the beginning and caused sin to enter the world. But there is hope for the Christian family, as fathers are chosen to instruct and guide their children in the ways of the Lord. Jesus is our great priest who defends and mediates for our families. Let us pray for our families and for those who have the responsibility to instruct them.

The family is where God expresses himself for the blessing of all nations and peoples. The promise is for the family; for the father, the mother, the children. It is the center and nucleus of society, what moves it and makes it progress or fall and collapse. When the family is doing well, God is happy. If you have not realized how important family is to God, I invite you to reread Genesis with the eyes of the heart. There we see God's perfect plan in creating the family, his promises of blessing conditional on obedience. Satan knew the value of the family and directed his deadly attack against it.

The cunning serpent deceived the family and the world stage opened its curtains to sin and evil began to unleash in the heart of man. The man began to rehearse his sadly famous way of hiding from his nakedness by weaving fig leaves to cover his guilt. (Gen 3.7). And God, who was walking in the garden of Eden, called MAN! and said where are you? (Gen 3.9).
