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. 7:1¹And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. (Genesis 7:1)).

“By faith Noah, being warned of God . . . prepared an ark to the saving of his house” (Heb. 11:7⁷By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. (Hebrews 11:7)).

“For the promise is unto you, and to your children” (Acts 2:39³⁹For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Acts 2:39)).
