1 Samuel 25:28
For the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the LORD, and evil shall not be found in you so long as you live.
A sure house is secured by God for those who fight the good fight of the faith. A man begins by fighting for his children, continues by fighting alongside them, and ends by fighting through them for generations.
A man can preach to his great grandchildren by teaching his children to teach their children to teach their children. It can also be said that a man can train his great grandchildren by training his son to train his sons to train their sons.
The man who does this ends up fighting for and through generations of faithful warriors bearing his name. His house is made sure. His name is retained. As a subject of the Name above all names, he is an object of grace and his legacy lives on.
Ephesians 3:14–17
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named.
