“Suffering Victoriously As Christians… In Your Marriage and the Family of God!”   In the past few weeks we have learned that we are to be in subjection to every human institution such as civil governments and the institutions were we are employed.  This morning we will look at the critically important human institutions of marriage and the church which is the family of God.  Remembering that we are looking at each of these human institutions, created by God, for God’s purpose we will examine marriage in the same light.  Marriage is also designed to fulfill the LORD’s ultimate purpose.  The husband and wife is to be subject to their God given purpose and role in the marriage relationship.  Submission to God’s will in any relationship means the sacrifice of “Self.”  In a person’s sacrifice in marriage to be submission to the LORD’s will there is often times pain of many and varied different kinds.  We will focus on the both the husband and wife in the LORD’s call to submit to Him and His will while serving each other in marriage.  We will conclude our lesson by examining our call to fulfill God’s purpose as Christians in context to being a part of His family.  We will describe the purpose of our submission to one another and what the nature of that submission looks like.
