CHAPTER 3

CAITLYN 10D

1. SUMMARY
Families originate from God's initiation, making them a divine gift. God
created and bestowed blessings upon families, intending each member to
fulfill a unique role and bring blessings to others. Every family member is
tasked with fulfilling their responsibilities not only within the family but also
in the church and society. The essential Christian values forming the basis
of family life include love, joy, peace, patience, mercy, kindness, loyalty,
gentleness, and self-control.

2.FAMILY DUTIES
Share the happy message starting at home. Each
family member should bring God's love to the family.
Parents are good examples for their kids. Kids should
be respectful and obedient to everyone, especially
their parents. All family members should love, respect,
and help each other.

3.DUTIES IN CHURCH
All Christian families should join in church activities.
When family members take part, they help the
church in its important tasks of coming together,
serving, sharing faith, and teaching. This way,
everyone in the family plays a role in supporting the
church.

4. DUTIES IN SOCIETY
A Christian family should make society better by
being good, peaceful, and helping others. Each family
member should use their skills to help everyone. For
instance, a family in Surabaya cooked and gave
away 100 free meals to the community during the
pandemic.

5. CONCULSION
These values serve as a solid foundation, helping
family members navigate various challenges in an
ever-changing world. Gratitude for the gift of
family should be expressed through genuine daily
actions within the family and towards others.
