Be a right Chrisitan among family and working places

Ephesians 6:1-9
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.  “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.
Fathers, do not exasperate(惡化) your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people.
Masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.
In the family, children owe their parents respect and obedience.
Parents must exercise discipline - notbehave like petty tyrants; Christian slaves serve theirmasters as willingly and well as they serve christ. 
Christian masters will not bludgeon or bully, knowing that they must answer to a Master themselves.
Why?
God is the Lord of my house, so to be a Christian should obey the instruction of bible to teach our children, and processing the relationship between master and slaves, parent and children.
How?
God has given us the good commands to lead us live out life of Christian and honor God's holy name.
