Psalm 127:4. Another characteristic of a father is that he be a strong leader that trains and guides his children.

Well brought up children make a father stronger by their obedience and their fruitfulness in the Lord.

Psalm 112:1. Psalm 112 tells us that there are two qualification for a good father and a blessed man. First, he fears and gives honor to God always, and second that he delights in the Word of God (Psalm 112:1-2, “Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandment”).

1 Peter 1:14: The Bible tells us that we can overcome temptation by being obedient to God (1 Peter 1:14, “As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance”).

Romans 6:13. Overcoming temptation is a spiritual battle. It is easy to believe that if we are tempted that we will sin. This is not true.

God desires for us to be obedient and to serve Him.

Job 36:11. God created us for a purpose and He desires for us to obey Him and fulfill that purpose. That is the secret to true success. If we obey God, we will prosper. God desires for us to be successful. He wants to bless us. He desires for us to enjoy life.

1 Chronicles 22:13. David, near the end of his life, advised his son that total obedience to God would bring him true success and prosperity.

Solomon would now be the leader of the Israelites, and just as with Moses, Solomon was charged with fulfilling God's commandments.

Bible Summary. Christian values are based on God and the work of Jesus Christ. The most important Christian value is for a Christian to just value God more than anything, anybody, or any idea.

The Bible teaches us that God's will is for us is to freely accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

1 Corinthians 9:25. Christians have a higher inspiration to have self-control than a Olympic athlete. An Olympic athlete is inspired by the opportunity to win a gold medal.
