How do we know that children are naturally rebellious?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible suggests that children are born with a sinful nature, leading them to rebellion and a desire for autonomy.
Children are not taught to be rebellious; rather, they are born with a sinful, depraved heart which naturally inclines them to oppose authority. This fundamental issue is not merely a question of disobedience to parents but a deeper rebellion against God’s order. In the sermon, it is pointed out that children love the notion of being their own god, which reflects a more extensive rebellion against God's established authority. Thus, as parents, the responsibility lies in teaching children to recognize and respond to God's truth, reminding them that their sinful tendencies need to be addressed through divine truth.
