Do you, . . . the one teaching someone else, not teach yourself?—Rom. 2:21.

 

Children often imitate their parents. Of course, no parent is perfect. (Rom. 3:23) Even so, wise parents do their very best to set a good example for their children. One father said: “They are like sponges that absorb everything.” He adds: “They will tell us when our example isn’t consistent with what we try to teach them.” So if we want our children to love Jehovah, our own love for him needs to be strong and evident. There are many ways that parents can teach their children to love Jehovah. A 17-year-old brother named Andrew says: “My parents have always emphasized the importance of prayer. Every night, Dad would pray with me, even if I had already said my own prayer. . . . Now I am very comfortable praying to Jehovah and viewing him as a loving Father.” Parents, never underestimate how much your own love for Jehovah can influence your children. w22.05 28 ¶7-8

Jesus core principles of love, compassion, forgiveness, and service remain central to understanding how he "walked the talk." We too can only teach by living his examples, by living our beliefs, and by imitating his walk 🤗
