Good Worker
Genesis 2:15 “And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.”
God put Adam in the garden and gave him instructions to work. This was before the fall of Adam and Eve. From the very beginning God planned that man would have a job to do. The difference after the fall is that
work would become difficult.
Paul teaches in 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 that men who are lazy and refuse to work should not be allowed to eat. Be careful with this passage. This does not say that people who can’t work shouldn’t eat. It says
that those who “would not work,” meaning that they could, but they choose not to.
The next several characteristics are taken from the guidelines for pastors and deacons. While not all fathers need to be a pastor to be considered a godly father, it should be understood that only the best fathers
with the best qualities would be qualified to be a pastor or deacon.

Ephesians 6:4 is a summary of instructions to the father, stated in both a negative and positive way. “Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them
up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” The negative part of this verse indicates that a father is not to foster negativity in his children by severity, injustice,
partiality, or unreasonable exercise of authority. Harsh, unreasonable conduct towards a child will only serve to nurture evil in the heart. The word “provoke” means
“to irritate, exasperate, rub the wrong way, or incite.” This is done by a wrong spirit and wrong methods—severity, unreasonableness, sternness, harshness, cruel
demands, needless restrictions, and selfish insistence upon dictatorial authority. Such provocation will produce adverse reactions, deadening children’s affection,
reducing their desire for holiness, and making them feel that they cannot possibly please their parents. A wise parent seeks to make obedience desirable and
attainable by love and gentleness.

The positive part of Ephesians 6:4 is expressed in a comprehensive direction—educate them, bring them up, develop their conduct in all of life by the instruction
and admonition of the Lord. This is the whole process of educating and discipline. The word “admonition” carries the idea of reminding the child of faults
(constructively) and duties (responsibilities).
