12 The Adventist Home
Holiness to God is to pervade the home.... Parents and children are
to educate themselves to co-operate with God. They are to bring their
habits and practices into harmony with God’s plans.21
The family relationship should be sanctifying in its influence.
Christian homes, established and conducted in accordance with God’s
plan, are a wonderful help in forming Christian character.... Parents
and children should unite in offering loving service to Him who alone
can keep human love pure and noble.22 [20]
The first work to be done in a Christian home is to see that the
Spirit of Christ abides there, that every member of the household may
be able to take his cross and follow where Jesus leads the way.23 [21]
