Our Responsibilites To Our Children

 Love your children -

Titus 2:4 (NLT) These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children,
Psalm 127:3 (NLT)  Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.

Train them up to know God and his word and will - 

Ephesians 6:4 (NLT) Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.

Deuteronomy 6: 6-9 (NLT) And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. ⁷ Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. ⁸ Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. ⁹ Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Proverbs 22:6 (NLT) Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.

2 Timothy 3:15 (NLT) You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus.
(read also Genesis 18:19, Deuteronomy 4:9-10,  1 Samuel 3:13, 2 Timothy 1:5)

Your children are learning to be future parents from you.  Discipline and reward your children according to God's word.  Teach them respect, obedience and to listen to your instruction.

Proverbs 6:20-23 (NLT)
²⁰ My son, obey your father’s commands,
      and don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.
 ²¹ Keep their words always in your heart.
      Tie them around your neck.
 ²² When you walk, their counsel will lead you.
      When you sleep, they will protect you.
      When you wake up, they will advise you.
 ²³ For their command is a lamp
      and their instruction a light;
   their corrective discipline
      is the way to life.

Ephesians 6:1-3 (NLT)
 ¹ Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do.² “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise: ³ If you honor your father and mother, “things will go well for you, and you will have a long life on the earth.”

Also teach them God's word about the responsibilities/role of a mother and the responsibilities/role of a father.

Your children are also learning how to be a future spouse from you.  Teach them how to have a godly marriage, to build a home the way God intended. (The wife's responsibilities to her husband and the husband's responsibility to his wife)

Ephesians 5 (NLT)
²¹ And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. ²² For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. ²³ For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. ²⁴ As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.
 ²⁵ For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her ²⁶ to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word.^{[b] 27} He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault. ²⁸ In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself. ²⁹ No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church. ³⁰ And we are members of his body.
 ³¹ As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.”^{[c] 32} This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one. ³³ So again I say, each man must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

(there are many other verses in the bible that teach us about marriage)

~If you feel you have no calling on your life, that you do not know God's will or purpose for you life - Know this:  If you are a parent God has trusted you with an awesome responsibility.  If you have a child God has called you - to preach, to teach, to love, to pray without ceasing and the list goes on and on!   Do not neglect your responsibilities - do not leave your children to chance - Be the parent that God has called you to be!~
