Ephesians 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 2 Honor thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; 3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
[P&P 308] “Parents are entitled to a degree of love and respect which is due to no other person. God Himself, who has placed upon them a responsibility for the souls committed to their charge has ordained that during the earlier years of life parents shall stand in the place of God to their children. And he who rejects the rightful authority of his parents is rejecting the authority of God.”
After man sinned God did not call Eve first, nor did He even call the devil first, because as far as God is concerned, He never put the devil in charge. God referred to His original pecking order in the pursuit of accountability, a pattern which He always follows, even to this day. The president of the United states is responsible for all those who serve under his jurisdiction, and therefore, the buck stops at his door step.
In other words, God will call those at the top of the chain of command, to answer for anything wrong that takes place downstream. In Adam’s case, he was not aware that Eve had left his side, and thereby had encountered the serpent on her own. But that is really beside the point, because when God made him the head, all that takes place on his watch, he thereby becomes responsible for.
Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
