God gives examples of Mothers and fathers teaching and training children.
- “Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord your God is giving you” (Deuteronomy 5:16).“
- Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and do not forsake your mother’s teaching. They are a garland to grace your head, and a chain to adorn your neck” (Proverbs 1:8-9).
Mothers can pass on a spiritual legacy as well.
- “I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also” (2 Timothy 1:5).
God uses a mothers love as a picture of God's Love for his people.
- “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted over Jerusalem” (Isaiah 66:13).
- These older women must train the younger women to love their husbands and their children, Titus 2:4
Even if you had a Bad Mother, God is the best example:
- “Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!” (Isaiah 49:15).
- Picture of a mothers Love - Good and Bad. Two women with a dead baby taken before solomon.Then the king gave his ruling: ‘Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother’” (1 Kings 3:24-27). This story gives us insight into what the Bible says about mothers and one of the aspects of motherhood. In this instance, this mother protected the life of her son, even if it meant losing him to someone else. This story demonstrates the caring, compassion and love that is typically exhibited by mothers towards their children.
