“I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake. 13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father. 14 I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.”
In 1 John 1:3 the apostle presents to us God’s invitation to share the eternal fellowship of heaven that which we have seen and heard (the record contained in the gospels) we declare to you that you also may have fellowship with us and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. We see, then that heaven provides the eternal pattern of a home and that in this pattern there are three main aspects of relationship: Fatherhood, headship and fellowship. If our homes on earth are to fulfill God’s purpose and be successful, they must reproduce these three relationships.
In our society the wife is often referred to as the homemaker, however, this is true only in a secondary sense. In the economy of God, the man is primarily the homemaker because he will make it whatever it is to become. The father is the key to the establishment of the home. It is upon his shoulders that God has placed both the responsibility and the authority to establish a home that will fulfill the design of a loving heavenly Father.
