It is the first command with a promise – that your days may be long in the land I am giving you (Deuteronomy 5:16). The Commandment strengthens further the important and crucial relationship of parents and children within the covenant of God’s love...

We now think of the future as having an end point. Jesus death was a ‘once for all’ sacrifice that made forgiveness possible for people of all time and place (Romans 6:10).
