El sermón titulado "Modelo de paternidad" del predicador Joel Coyoc se centra en la relación paternal y el llamado a los padres de imitar la paternidad divina, enfatizando la importancia de enseñar a los hijos en la gracia de Cristo. Utilizando 2 Timoteo 2:1-2, Coyoc argumenta que la paternidad cristiana debería reflejar la paternidad de Dios, quien llama amorosamente a sus hijos y les exige esfuerzo y dedicación. El apóstol Pablo, al dirigirse a Timoteo como "hijo mío", establece un modelo de amor, enseñanza y corrección que los padres deben seguir, destacando que el verdadero amor paternal se manifiesta al orientar a los hijos hacia el evangelio. La importancia de esta enseñanza radica en la necesidad de conocer a Dios en su rol como Padre, lo que transforma la comunicación parental y la crianza de los hijos, mostrando que el amor verdadero hacia ellos está arraigado en el reconocimiento de la gracia y la justicia de Cristo.

The Bible emphasizes that a father calls to his children in a loving and encouraging manner, reflecting God's love as a perfect Father.
In 2 Timothy 2, the apostle Paul addresses Timothy affectionately as 'my son', highlighting the importance of speaking to children with love and care. This mirrors how God, as the supreme Father, communicates with His children. Just as God lovingly refers to Jesus as His 'beloved Son' in whom He is well pleased, Paul exemplifies this pattern of paternal communication, which encourages a loving and nurturing relationship between fathers and their children. By seeking to emulate God's love, earthly fathers can ensure that their words are filled with grace and understanding.
2 Timothy 2:1-2
Christian fathers are called to model God's love to cultivate a nurturing and respectful home environment based on grace.
The importance of modeling God's love as a father cannot be overstated. Fathers are tasked with the responsibility of demonstrating grace in their interactions with their children, just as God has shown grace to us. In 2 Timothy 2, Paul encourages Timothy to endure hardships, which reflects a fatherly concern that shapes a child's understanding of perseverance and faith. By embodying the qualities of patience and love, fathers help their children develop a strong foundation of faith rooted in the understanding of God's love. A father's love should not only encourage but also guide, offering wisdom and correction in a manner that reflects the love of Christ.
2 Timothy 2:1-2, Ephesians 6:4
Fathers can strengthen their children in faith by encouraging them to rely on God's grace and actively engaging in their spiritual growth.
To strengthen their children in faith, fathers should direct them to 'be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus', as stated in 2 Timothy 2:1. This involves fostering an environment where faith is lived out and discussed openly, allowing children to understand that true strength comes not from within, but through reliance on God’s grace. Fathers must be intentional in teaching biblical truths and empowering their children to face challenges with a Christ-centered perspective. This mentorship includes demonstrating humility, discipline, and a commitment to seeking God's will, thereby illustrating to children how to navigate life with faith in God.
2 Timothy 2:1, Ephesians 6:4
