Aren’t these points what our obedience should look like as well if we are children of God? I expect you intended us to make that connection. Very subtle. Thank you.

I agree with you. Hang around the blog another day or two and you’ll get what you’re looking for. This is one part of a longer sermon that I preached on The Godly Child, the last point of which is that there was only one, and He lived and died for ungodly children.

First, what is their ‘primary’ motivation for obeying? (We love, because he first loved us.) And then secondly…where do we point them when they don’t obey? You have called them to obey here, which they should be called to obey…but it cannot stop here.

Our kids need the message of the cross, the gospel, just as badly as we parents do. And I don’t see that message here. Even as an adult, I read through this list and was getting really anxious…thinking…I could never live up to what this is telling me to do. It doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be told these things…God has given me instruction on how to live because he loves me and knows his ways are better for me than my ways.

But our kids need to be told that Jesus lived these 10 points perfectly for them. And that he died on the cross to take the punishment they deserved for NOT following the rules like they should. And out of their great love for him in doing that for them…it will cause their hearts to want to obey in all of these ways you listed above.
