The Christian's life is regulated by everything they think, say, and do. We have a two-fold obligation - one to God, and one to our fellow man (Luke 10:27).
A Christian wife must submit to her husband as unto the Lord, a Christian husband must love his wife (Ephesians 5:22-25), Christian fathers are bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4) and children are to be obedient to their parents as long as they are under their authority, and when they become Christians and are grown up they are to honor their parents as long as they live (Ephesians 6:1-2). Christian employers are to be fair and just to their employees remembering they also have a mater in Heaven with whom there is not respect of person (Colossians 4:1; Ephesians 6:9). Christian employees also are to do their best at all times, ;not just when the boss is watching. We also have a duty to help our fellow man, whether a neighbor or stranger who is in need (Luke 10:29-37). When we fulfill our obligation to man, we have fulfilled our obligation to God.
