So in the scripture we have all of these beautiful pictures of God and His kingdom that are given to us in family life. We have the husband and the wife which are a picture of Christ and the church. We have the parents and the children which are a picture of God the Father and his children and we have even in the picture of singleness we have people giving their heart wholeheartedly to the Lord and serving him in his kingdom. All of these are pictures and even with the roles of men and women and The direction that God would have for us and what they're supposed to be doing the roles of parents interacting with the children all of these are a picture of our relationship with God and ultimately Through these we glorify God, but we also learn about God. And if we, our goal is to please Him and to honor Him, we will submit to these things and put them into practice and He will protect us, provide for us, give us clear direction, even if we don't understand all these things.
