Jesus is the source (author) of salvation to those who obey Him (cf. 1 Pet. 1:2, NASB).

We must obey God's doctrine, not man's (cf. 2 Jn. 1:9; 2 Tim. 3:16-17; Gal. 6:2).

Children must obey their parents in the Lord.

The phrase in the Lord (Eph. 6:1) means that children must obey their parents as long as their commands are within the realm of the things authorized by God (cf. Col. 3:17). If a parent commands a child to do something that is sinful, the child must disobey the parent and obey God.

Eph. 5:22-24; Col. 3:18; 1 Pet. 3:1-6
