“Suffering Victoriously As Christians… In Your Marriage and the Family of God!”   Last week we introduced this lesson but this morning we will finish looking 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 are 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 in submission to the LORD’s will, there is often pain of many different kinds.  We will focus on both the husband and wife in the LORD’s call to submit to Him and His will while serving each other in marriage.  To fulfill His will we must also examine the critical spiritual nature and adornment of the wife and the husband as God’s word directs.  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.
