1 Peter 3:1
1 Peter 3:1
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives.
Submission to one’s spouse, as outlined in God’s word, reflects an attitude of humility and respect. It’s not about inferiority but about choosing to honor God’s order within the family. In a world that often values independence above all else, this call to mutual submission can seem countercultural. However, such obedience in marriage is a powerful witness to God’s design for relationships. It shows a commitment to serving and uplifting one another, reflecting Christ’s love. Through humility and faith, spouses can foster a deep, enduring connection, where love and respect thrive. Obedience in marriage is not passive; it requires intentional love, sacrifice, and understanding, aiming to glorify God by embodying His principles. As we submit to one another, we mirror the relationship between Christ and His Church, providing a foundation for a marriage that is resilient, loving, and rooted in divine truth.
1 John 4:17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
Romans 5:19
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
1 Peter 1:14
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
Matthew 7:21
Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will.
