God’s standard is high. (1 Peter 2:9)

“Chosen race” “Royal priesthood” “Holy nation” “His own possession”

– Serve Him – Worship Him – Dedicate Your Life to Him – Glorify Him / Be His

God’s standard is highfor our families.

Ephesians 5:22, 25 Ephesians 6:1-2

1. It’s not about what one deserves; but what God says. 2. My actions should reflect my respect for God’s will. 3. Children are to obey and to honor their parents. 4. Full obedience demonstrates the “new you.”
