Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your household Acts 16:31.
God's mission has always been to save an entire family once a member has accepted Him. In Genesis He saved Noah, his wife and three sons, Shem, Ham and Japhet and all their wives (Gen. 7:1). When God got ready to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah He saved Lot and his family (Gen. 19:12).
If you are a Christian today, you certainly care about your family members who are not yet saved. Stay in prayer for them because God's will is for all to come to eternal life. Families are very important to God. When He wanted to build a chosen nation, He started with a family. He took Abram and Sarai from among a clan of idol worshippers and brought them to Canaan where He blessed them and started a family through the miraculous birth of their son Isaac.
The family blessing continued with Isaac marrying Rebecca and bringing forth the twins Esau and Jacob. Jacob being the chosen of the two brothers, was used by God to bring twelve sons who became the twelve tribes of God's chosen nation, Israel. From this nation the messiah was introduced to the world, Jesus Christ, our wonderful Savior, Lord and only begotten Son of God who left His home in glory to tabernacle with men and reconcile mankind to Our Father God. The family is important to God. Husbands, Wives, Fathers Mothers and children are all precious in His sight. God saves families.
Prayer: Lord help us to keep the sanctity of marriage (one man to one woman) so the true concept of family may be preserved. Amen.
Encouragement: When you're ready for marriage and a family, find a member of the opposite sex, get married and have children together. God honors proper marriage (Heb. 13:4), God saves families.
