When we go before our children, our spiritual children, we break up the ground before them. When we walk in the Word, adhere to, carry out the Word, it prepares their way.
But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us. (Romans Chapter 5, Verse 8, Amplified Classic Edition of the Bible)
When we go before our children, our spiritual children, we break up the ground before them. When we walk in the Word, adhere to, carry out the Word, it prepares their way.
