Phil 2:12 commands us to work at our soul salvation with fear and trembling. That goes for everybody. In the scenario that is presented, both the parents and millennial children are found wanting. The parents are living in lies and the children are living in resentment. The parents are definitely wrong in this scenario. But the children are focused on the wrong thing. You have to focus on glory. Parents have a sin-nature just like everybody else. God is going to hold them accountable. But God is not going to accept the millenials using their parents as an excuse to miss heaven.

Self-sacrifice is actually Christ’s example to us. When He died on the cross he showed us a love that was full of self-sacrifice and no earthly reward. Unfortunately, we live in an a dispensation of time when it’s all about getting what you want and what you need. The world today is ”Not about that life“.....The life of self-sacrifice....the life of John 3:16.
