Fatherhood is a role that you step into when your wife has a child. Fathers have many biblical responsibilities toward their children. One of the great tragedies of our modern age is that many fathers neglect their children in various ways.

Christian fathers must not neglect their children. We must fulfill our biblical roles as fathers.

The Bible uses the phrase “as a father” three times, and in each case, the authors tell us what fathers do or are supposed to do for their children. So I’d like to look at each of these three verses and see what they have to tell us about the biblical responsibilities of fathers. I invite you to turn to each of these three passages as we go along this morning.
