Statists, leftists, dictacrats, and Marxists, view children as belonging to "the community" rather than to parents, and therefore hold that children are resources of the state to be indoctrinated by the public education system in order to be prepared to be loyal subjects of the polis. The Bible however, teaches that children of believers belong to the Lord, are bound in covenant to Him by baptism, and are given to parents to train in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Since Scripture teaches children possess covenant status before the Lord, they have a special obligation and calling to be obedient to their parents and to honor them in the Lord. Three motives are given for this obedience: it's in the Lord, it is right, and it secures reward. This message explores the relationship between the covenant status of the children of believers and their calling to behave in the ethical manner prescribed by Paul.
