“But what we must realize is that God, who is himself a father — the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and of all Christians through him — cares about families enormously. Family life, with its built-in responsibilities for both parents and children, is part of his purpose for all, and the way we behave as children and parents is a prime  test of both our humanity and our godliness. Love — the caring love of parents who respect their children and want to see them mature and the grateful love of children who respect their parents and want to see them content — is our great need here” (J.I. Packer, Keeping the Ten Commandments, 73).
