The Characteristics of a Godly Home

    Luke 1:6

A glimpse into the home of Zacharias and Elisabeth reveals parental characteristics.

I.      Parents are both righteous before God

    A.    Righteous = just "di'kaios"

    B.    Saved cf. Lk.2:25, Mk.2:17, 6:20, Mt.13:49

    C.    Holy cf Jn.5:30, 7:24 = right Gal.3:11

II.      Parents that walked in all the commandments

     A.    They journeyed in the commandments

     B.     They walked through life in the commandments

     C.    Commandments = the imperatives of God
"entolay" = an order, precept

III.      Parents that walk in the ordinances of the Lord

     A. Statutes - practices
     B. A pre-scripted walk
     C. Something deemed right so as to be law
     D. Rules = stopping at red lights
     E. Parents that follow the rules

IV. Parents that were un-blameable
     A. Irreproachable cf. 1 Tim:3:
     B. Faultless cf Phil.2:15, 3:6, 1 Th.3:13, Hb.8:7

Parents, that is men and women, do you have these characteristics?
