As we discuss the theme of teaching our children to obey, I noticed again that God refers to those who don't Him as "the children of disobedience" (Ephesians 2:2; 5:6; Colossians 5:6; and Hebrews 2:2).

But He calls those who belong to Him "those who obey him" (John 14:15, 21-23; Acts 5:32; and Hebrews 5:9)

This is a sobering thought as we train our children, isn't it?
