Throughout Scripture, the family unit is portrayed as a foundational element of society, and its spiritual health is often seen as indicative of the broader community's relationship with God.<br><br><b>Old Testament Warnings</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the Israelites are repeatedly cautioned against turning away from God. The family, as the basic unit of Israelite society, is central to these warnings. In <a href="/deuteronomy/6-6.htm">Deuteronomy 6:6-7</a> , Moses instructs the Israelites: "These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts. And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." This passage underscores the responsibility of parents to instill a love for God's commandments in their children, ensuring that future generations remain faithful.<br><br>The consequences of departing from God are vividly illustrated in the history of Israel. <a href="/judges/2-10.htm">Judges 2:10-12</a> describes a generation that arose after Joshua, which "did not know the LORD or the work that He had done for Israel." This led to the Israelites doing "evil in the sight of the LORD" and serving the Baals, resulting in divine judgment and oppression by their enemies. The cyclical pattern of apostasy and repentance in the Book of Judges serves as a stark warning to families about the dangers of neglecting their spiritual heritage.<br><br><b>New Testament Exhortations</b><br><br>The New Testament continues to emphasize the importance of faithfulness within the family. In <a href="/ephesians/6-4.htm">Ephesians 6:4</a> , Paul advises, "Fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath; instead, bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." This instruction highlights the role of parents in nurturing their children's spiritual growth and ensuring that they remain steadfast in their faith.<br><br>The New Testament also warns against the influence of false teachings and worldly values that can lead families astray. In <a href="/2_timothy/4-3.htm">2 Timothy 4:3-4</a> , Paul warns, "For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths." Families are encouraged to remain vigilant and grounded in Scripture to avoid being led away from the truth.<br><br><b>Examples of Faithful Families</b><br><br>Throughout the Bible, there are examples of families who remained faithful to God despite challenges. The household of Cornelius, as described in <a href="/bsb/acts/10.htm">Acts 10</a>, is one such example. Cornelius, a centurion, is described as "a devout man who feared God with all his household" (<a href="/acts/10-2.htm">Acts 10:2</a>). His faithfulness led to a divine encounter with Peter and the subsequent outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon his family, demonstrating the blessings that come from steadfast devotion to God.<br><br>Similarly, the family of Timothy is noted for its sincere faith. Paul writes to Timothy, acknowledging the faith that "first lived in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice" (<a href="/2_timothy/1-5.htm">2 Timothy 1:5</a>). This generational faithfulness serves as a model for families to emulate, showing the impact of a godly heritage.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The Bible's warnings against departing from God are clear and consistent, urging families to remain faithful and to pass on their faith to future generations. By adhering to biblical teachings and maintaining a strong spiritual foundation, families can avoid the pitfalls of apostasy and experience the blessings of a life devoted to God.<a name="ttt" id="ttt"></a><div class="vheading2">Torrey's Topical Textbook</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/deuteronomy/29-18.htm">Deuteronomy 29:18</a></span><br>Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood;<br><span class="source">Torrey's Topical Textbook</span><p><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/binning/the_works_of_the_rev_hugh_binning/sermon_iv_they_have_corrupted.htm"><span class="l">"They have Corrupted Themselves; their Spot is not the Spot of his <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> up children, and they have rebelled <b>against</b> me," &c <b>...</b> indeed corrupted themselves,<br> though they got <b>warning</b> to take <b>...</b> no more in secret or in your <b>families</b> than they <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../binning/the works of the rev hugh binning/sermon iv they have corrupted.htm</font><p><a href="/library/spurgeon/sermons_on_proverbs/all_the_day_long.htm"><span class="l">All the Day Long</span></a> <br><b>...</b> us and we are home with our <b>families</b>: let us <b>...</b> therefore he says the most atrocious<br> things <b>against God</b> and holy <b>...</b> a church we have had a double <b>warning</b> during the <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//christianbookshelf.org/spurgeon/sermons on proverbs/all the day long.htm</font><p><a href="/library/bunyan/the_works_of_john_bunyan_volumes_1-3/a_treatise_of_the_fear.htm"><span class="l">A Treatise of the Fear of <b>God</b>;</span></a> <br><b>...</b> out upon thee, and upon the <b>families</b> that call <b>...</b> up murmurings, discontents, and<br> heart-risings <b>against God</b>, while he <b>...</b> of his sin, managed his <b>departing</b> from his <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../bunyan/the works of john bunyan volumes 1-3/a treatise of the fear.htm</font><p><a href="/library/spurgeon/spurgeons_sermons_volume_37_1891/the_census_of_israel.htm"><span class="l">The Census of Israel</span></a> <br><b>...</b> closed sepulcher there comes the prophetic <b>warning</b>, "Set thine <b>...</b> jaws of death shall<br> not prevail <b>against</b> the church <b>...</b> we should have in our <b>families</b> a succession of <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../spurgeon/spurgeons sermons volume 37 1891/the census of israel.htm</font><p><a href="/library/white/the_great_controversy_between_christ_and_satan_/18_an_american_reformer.htm"><span class="l">An American Reformer.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> religious awakening in which thirteen entire <b>families</b>, with the <b>...</b> One man's assertion<br> <b>against</b> the wisdom of thousands <b>...</b> They would not credit the <b>warning</b>, nor would <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../the great controversy between christ and satan /18 an american reformer.htm</font><p><a href="/library/white/the_great_controversy/chapter_18_an_american_reformer.htm"><span class="l">An American Reformer</span></a> <br><b>...</b> religious awakening in which thirteen entire <b>families</b>, with the <b>...</b> One man's assertion<br> <b>against</b> the wisdom of thousands <b>...</b> They would not credit the <b>warning</b>, nor would <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../white/the great controversy/chapter 18 an american reformer.htm</font><p><a href="/library/spurgeon/spurgeons_sermons_volume_4_1858/everybodys_sermon.htm"><span class="l">Everybody's Sermon</span></a> <br><b>...</b> on your dress, and you come down to your <b>families</b>, and your <b>...</b> beam out of the wall<br> shall bear witness <b>against</b> thee, and <b>...</b> O man, the earth is made for thy <b>warning</b>. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../spurgeon/spurgeons sermons volume 4 1858/everybodys sermon.htm</font><p><a href="/library/spurgeon/spurgeons_sermons_volume_37_1891/young_man_a_prayer_for.htm"><span class="l">Young Man! a Prayer for You</span></a> <br><b>...</b> temperament, in their companionships, and perhaps in their <b>families</b>. <b>...</b> saying, "How<br> can I stand <b>against</b> so many <b>...</b> so feeble?"
