THE HOLY MATRIMONY

FATHERS AND MOTHERS IN CHRIST:
LIKE THE PHARISEES, MANY TODAY KNOWS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS CONCERNING HOLY MATRIMONY: BUT CHOSE TO IGNORE IT, IN ORDER TO HOLD ON TO THEIR OWN TRADITIONS AND IDEAS.
THEY FELT THREATENED BY WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS CONCERNING THE ROLES OF BOTH PARTIES.
EPHESIANS 5:-22-33 “WIVES, SUBMIT YOURSELVES TO YOUR OWN HUSBANDS AS YOU DO TO THE LORD.
THE PROBLEM WITH SOME CHRISTIAN WOMEN IS, THEY DON’T EVEN SUBMIT TO THE WILL OF GOD IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL LIFE; NOT TO TALK OF SUBMITTING TO THEIR CHOSEN HUSBAND.
THERE IS NO VERSE OF ANY CHAPTER IN THE BIBLE, THAT TEACHES EQUALITY BETWEEN THE HUSBAND AND THE WIFE.
EPHESIANS, 5:-23″FOR THE HUSBAND IS THE HEAD OF THE WIFE, AS CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH.
AS THE CHURCH SUBMITS TO CHRIST, SO ALSO WIVES SHOULD SUBMIT TO THEIR HUSBAND IN EVERYTHING.”
ON THE OTHER HAND: THE BIBLE SAYS, “HUSBANDS, LOVE YOUR WIVES JUST AS CHRIST LOVED THE CHURCH AND GAVE HIMSELF UP FOR THE CHURCH.”
HOW MANY HUSBANDS INCLUDING MYSELF ARE READY TO GIVE THEMSELVES UP FOR THEIR WIVES?
IF YOU DON’T LOVE YOUR WIFE TO THAT POINT, THEN ASKING HER TO SUBMIT HERSELF COMPLETELY TO YOU WILL BE DIFFICULT.
WE ARE BRINGING CONFUSION INTO OUR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN IF WE FAIL TO ACT IN CONFORMITY WITH WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT MARRIAGE.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS FOR BROKEN HOMES AND SINGLE PARENTS AMONG PROFESSED CHRISTIANS.
IN CONCLUSION: LET EACH AND EVERYONE OF US RE-ADJUST AT ALL NECESSARY POINTS, THAT GOD MAY FORGIVE AND BE MERCIFUL UNTO US, AND SAVE US FROM OURSELVES.
BE BLESSED IN THE LORD JESUS.
