From Adam onward God has arranged that the families of men live as households. To the head of the household He gives privilege and responsibility, and the faith and actions of the head of the house have a preserving or destroying effect upon the whole household. This issue outlines a few of God’s household principles.
“The Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark” (Gen. 7:1).
“By faith Noah, being warned of God . . . prepared an ark to the saving of his house” (Heb. 11:7).
“For the promise is unto you, and to your children” (Acts 2:39).
