Welcome to episode 184 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we continue our study in the Book of Ephesians, covering chapter 5:22-6:9. Today, we will cover:

· Examples of how we submit to one another in 3 specific relatonships

o Wives and Husbands

o Children and Parents

o Servants (Slaves) and Masters

Key takeaways:

· Biblical Submission flows from a filled spirit.

· Biblical Submission is Counter culture.

· Biblical Submission is humbly recognizing God’s ordering of the world.

· Transcendent reconciliation is that he not only reconciled us to himself but also to each other.

Quotable:

• "All people are deserving of dignity, love, and respect.”
• “Man’s headship of his wife was established at creation and defined by Christ. Man’sheadship of his wife is not Lordship. Man’s headship of his wife is a responsibility to care for her ultimate well being.”
• “If the husband's headship of the wife resembles Christ’s headship of his church, then the wife's submission will resemble the churches.”
• “Husbands and wives have a reciprocal relationship. They need each other.”
• “This should not be viewed as an endorsement for slavery but rather an endorsement of Christ, who sees the slave, values the slave, and gives purpose to the slave, when culture says they have none other than to be used.”

Application:

· Putt off Old Self

· Put on New Self

· Imitate God

· Walk in Love, Light, and Wisdom

· Being Filled with the Spirit

o So that we can recognize his rule in our life and in turn willingly submit to the roles he has given us and the duties he has called us to.
