WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT…CHILD TRAINING continued
By J. Richard Fugate
The Child’s Nature
We have seen what the Bible about parents’ responsibility to train their children in conformance with God’s standards, their position of rulership, and their accountability to God for His gift of life – the child. Now, exactly who is this child we are to train? What in his make-up requires such extensive training? Why is the power of parental authority necessary?
To answer these questions, we will study what the Bible teaches about the composition of this creature called child. To understand children it is necessary first to understand the origin of mankind.
Mankind Was Originally Created in the “Image of God”
Genesis 1:26a “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.”
God is perfect, and all His creation was perfect in its original state. Even Satan was perfect when he came into existence (Ezekiel 28:12b-15). At the time of man’s creation by God, man also was perfect in his humanity. Mankind began his existence in a state of blessing, but man (like Satan before him) chose to act contrary to the express will of God. God expressed His will to man explicitly by His Word.
Genesis 2:17 “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shall not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”
Man’s subsequent, willful act of sin in transgressing the known standard of God caused a change in the nature of man. When sin entered into the world, mankind became a corruption of God’s original creation. He became separated from God, subject to death, and under judicial sentence of the all-righteous God. Mankind then began to reproduce itself “after its kind.”

Goat for Dinner: The young couple invited their elderly pastor for Sunday dinner. While they were in the kitchen preparing the meal, the minister asked their son what they were having. "Goat," the little boy replied. "Goat?" replied the startled man of the cloth, "Are you sure about that?"Yep," said the youngster. "I heard Dad say to Mom, 'Today is just as good as any to have the old goat for dinner'."
