Bible Question: How is the Husbands love to be like that of Jesus Christ? Is this humanly possible? |
Bible Answer: Hello justme, Of course it's possible, otherwise it wouldn't be part of Scripture. The "how" is given in verse 25 - give himself for her. The "why" is in verse 26 - sanctify her. The husband is to do all that is necessary for his wife to live a holy life. Steve |
