Deuteronomy 6:1-9 is one of the foundational passages of Scripture for the Jewish people—defining who God is, who they are, and how they are to love and follow God as His people. I find it remarkable that so much of this passage deals with parenting! It demonstrates that how we raise our children is directly connected to our purpose in life, our identity as a people, and our relationship with our God. One affects the other in ways often overlook. I think of this passage as the Great Commission for Christian parents. If we want to succeed at raising children who know, love, and follow Jesus, we need to do the right things, as outlined here.
