In Deuteronomy 6:1-2, we read what God said through Moses to the Israelites about teaching His commandments to future generations:
Now this is the commandment, and these are the statutes and judgments which the LORD your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess, that you may fear the LORD your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged (NKJV).
The Bible suggests here that parents' responsibility is incomplete until they have raised their own children and then taught them well enough to instill this knowledge in the next generation. Indeed, children and grandchildren are a message we send to a time we will not see. For most children, grandparents are second only to their parents in terms of influence and importance.
