What priorities should Christians have regarding their families?

According to Scripture, the family of God takes precedence over earthly familial ties because natural relationships are temporal and ultimately end in death. Jesus emphasized this in Matthew 10:34-36, where He stated that He came to bring a sword, creating divisions even within families due to differing beliefs in Him. Therefore, Christians are called to prioritize their relationship with God and His family over natural ties, understanding that the eternal nature of the family of God surpasses earthly connections.
