The Bible not only comforts but also convicts, urging us to transform as dads. How do you respond to your child’s mistakes? You can tear them down or FOCUS on restoration, redemption, and renewal. Point your kids to God—the God we see in Romans 5:19-21. #1 Restore. For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous (Rom. 5:19). Adam brought sin into the world—that’s us. Jesus brings restoration—that’s what we need. Your kid isn’t somehow further from Christ than you are. We’re all Adam’s in need of Christ. Growth in His likeness is life; anything else is death. When your child makes a mistake, instead of reacting in anger—pause and calm down. Approach the situation with restoration. Ask, “How can we fix this together?” This creates a teaching opportunity for growth. #2 Redeem. Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more… (Rom. 5:20). The law reveals our sin, but God’s grace continues. We often fail to extend grace to our kids. Rules matter; but when broken, we should pick redemption over condemnation. When your child stumbles, engage in conversation, give grace, and prioritize relationships—that’s the look of redemption. #3 Renew. …so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Rom. 5:21). Redemption leads to complete renewal, but until then, we experience glimpses of grace. While it may feel like you can give too much grace, Scripture reveals a God who balances judgment with grace—continually. Live out this grace, embody renewal, and guide your child away from sin by pointing to God’s daily mercy.

What Is The Spiritual Meaning Of Grace? As Christ followers, we talk a lot about the idea of grace. It’s one of those Christian “buzzwords” that finds its way into our sermons, Bible studies, and songs. But do we really know what it means to experience the grace of God? A deeper dive into the spiritual meaning of grace reveals benefits for this world and the next—as well as for us and those around us.
