1 Family and Christians Family is the single most influential force in the modern day society that shapes the tone for personal values of an individual. This is because for an individual it is the family from whom they learn. It is the upbringing and the values of the family that shapes the personal value as well. What an individual have been taught when they were a children has a direct impact on developing their moral self (Bainbridge, 2012). The rights and wrongs they have seen in their family have a larger impact on the values of an individual. Practices of the family play a greater role in shaping the moral ethics within the individuals. For example a boy grown in the criminal families have seen crimes at their doorsteps, there is more likely a chance that the boy will have no fear of crimes or the judicial systems. On the other hand a person grown in the priest family more likely to have higher faith in god while doing things and performing tasks. Bible suggests many things about family especially the necessity of making a family. It is having positive affect on the Christians. This is seen by the many verses written in the Bible. Verse “Exodus 20:12” suggests that when a person honours their father and mother, god blesses him/her with a longer life (Shutterfly, 2019). It teaches to respect father and mother. In the Bible Verse “Psalm 133:1”, there is a suggestion that it is always good and pleasant when people live in unity. This togetherness comes from family hence it teaches Christians to stay together in a harmony helping each other in their difficult phases of lives. It is advised that people should live in family as this makes them a stronger force while dealing with things and challenges in life. Family helps a person in building good values at the same time it helps them in having a natural support when in need. It is advised that people live in families where customs have a strong position as it enables them to learn how to be social. It is also advised that people maintain bigger families rather than modern day smaller families.
