GOD AND THE FAMILY
In this LIFEPAC®, you will learn all about families. You will learn how God made the very first family. You will read about another family and how it grew into a lot of families. God has rules for the family. Everyone in the family must obey rules to be really happy. You will learn about these rules. You will learn a commandment that has a promise with it. You will find out how the commandment and promise worked for Johnny. Sometimes people do not follow God’s rules for the family. Other times, they are unable to follow God’s rules for reasons not their fault. In these families, there might be just a father, just a mother, a step-parent or step-parents, or a grandparent or grandparents who lead the family. God cares for and loves all children the same. It does not matter who makes up the family. God wants you to know the best plan for the family. That plan will be talked about in this unit. 4 | Introduction
