God commands us to obey our parents.
Obeying your parents is the right thing to do because God commands it in the Bible. God is the heavenly Father, but He knows that you need an earthly father and mother to protect and help you every day. Your parents want what's best for you. They give you food and a safe house, teach you right from wrong, and show you what the Bible says.
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor your father and mother' - which is the first commandment with a promise - 'that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth'" (Ephesians 6:1-3).
Obeying God means obeying the people God has placed over you. These authorities take care of you, like parents, teachers, police officers, and people in the government. If you obey your parents, God promises you will have a better life than kids who disobey their parents.
