Ephesians 5:21-6:4

In Exodus 20, we see that the fifth of the Ten Commandments came with a divine promise: "Honor your father and mother, that it may go well with you and that you may that you may live long in the land." Following this command –  and training our children to do so –  will yield great blessing in this life and lasting spiritual treasure in heaven.

Ephesians 5:21-6:4

Countless men in our culture and society have bought into the lie that the most important thing in life is individual happiness and personal fulfillment. This has led to an epidemic of sexual immorality, adultery, divorce, and absentee fathers. But God’s Word commands husbands to love their wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her.

Ephesians 5:21-6:4

A slave was once considered a piece of property with no rights, and was to maintain an attitude of inferiority and subservience. Sadly, this is similar to many people’s idea of biblical submission in marriage. But Christian husbands are not to be tyrants ruling over their wives with an iron fist  –  instead, they are to manifest the same attitude that Jesus has toward His Bride, the church.

Ephesians 5:21-6:4

In his letter to the Ephesians, the Apostle Paul lists several characteristics of a Spirit-filled life, concluding with the exhortation to submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. A Christian family led by the Holy Spirit will demonstrate submission to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, by manifesting biblical submission to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Matthew 6

We may see hardship and adversity as Satan’s attempts to impede our spiritual growth and relationship with the Lord – and yet, God does use trials and suffering to teach us to trust Him more fully. Join Dr. Harry Reeder on InPerspective as he shows us how to embrace the Lord's divine testing and flee Satan's temptation.

Ephesians 5:21-6:4

There has been much confusion and controversy about the concept of godly submission in marriage. But when it is properly understood and put into practice, biblical submission in marriage and the family is an ideal to be desired and pursued. Husband, wife, parent, child –  each member of a Christian family is called to submit to the others in a biblical manner.

Ephesians 5:21-6:4

In the Genesis account of the creation of man and woman, we read, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." God Himself ordained and established the sacred, indispensable institution of marriage to perpetually fulfill an essential role in His creation.

Ephesians 5:21-6:4

The book of Genesis teaches us that God created man in His image, male and female, and established the sacred institution of marriage. It then says, “God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.”  Sadly, the institution of marriage has been increasingly de-emphasized and devalued in our culture and society.

Ephesians 5:21-6:4

C.S. Lewis wrote, "When I have learned to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now." A Christian family that truly honors the Lord does not primarily focus on its members improving their relationships with each other –  it focuses on each family member cultivating a closer relationship with Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 5:21-6:4

You know the familiar saying, "Home is where the heart is"  –  but Christian families must also recognize that "Home is where the START is."  The inter-relationships in the Christian home among parents and children constitute the first place where we must begin to manifest the characteristics and qualities of our new life in Jesus Christ.
