This week as we continue on in the book titled The Excellent Wife we will address a wife’s understanding of sin. There are four characteristics of sin to look at. In addition, several examples are given of ungodly thoughts we should be putting off verses godly thoughts we should be putting on. This week I want to address the fact that if you are a woman in a sexually or physically abusive relationship, I encourage you to seek the local enforcement and biblical counseling, consulting an overseer at your church. While God has put important principles in place for us to follow, in no way does God expect you to sin allowing your body to be abused. The Gospel truly changes everything! May we find ourselves walking more by the Spirit of Christ and less by the flesh, taking every thought captive, seeking to do good to those around us, especially our husbands, and allowing God’s Word to transform us from within. Let us find our joy in Christ alone and be hope filled people encouraged to embrace our new identities as Gods chosen children. We are redeemed! We have been washed new! As always I hope you leave here seeking to become a more fully devoted follower of Christ.
