Three Essentials for a Christian Home
October 26, 2003
Deuteronomy 6:4-25
1.)There must be a revelation of God!!
(Deu 6:4 NIV) Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.
Revelation: Theol, God’s revealing of Himself and His will to man.
1.) His eternality (Hebrew – Yahweh)
2.) His plurality ( Elohim, Hebrew plural of God, there are three Person’s in the Godhead )
3.) His unity. (One Lord the three Persons of the Godhead constitute one God; each is essential.

Deuteronomy 10: 14--22
2.) There must be a response to God’s revelation (v.5) the response is to be a total response of love with all one’s being, heart, soul, and mind.
(Deu 6:5 NIV) Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength
(Luke 10:27 NIV) He answered: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' ; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'"
This is the only fitting response to the eternal God who has revealed Himself.

3.) There must be a threefold responsibility (v. 6—9). This threefold responsibility acts as a check upon the proper response...
1.) To have God’s truth govern his heart. (v.6) there must be heart reality, not mere external conformity or ceremony.
(Exo 7:13 NIV) Yet Pharaoh's heart became hard and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said.
(2 Chr 12:14 NIV) He did evil because he had not set his heart on seeking the LORD.
2.) To have God’s truth govern his home --- this is evidenced by the fact that the father teaches the truths of God’s revelation to his children by both formal (teach diligently) and informal (talk of them) instruction.
3.) To have God’s truth govern his habits, and conduct personally, privately, and pubilicly. In short, the home is to be a divine school in which the father is to be the teacher, under Christ.
