AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 5:25 ¶ Husbands, love your wives [seek the highest good for her and surround her with a caring, unselfish love], just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, |
Bible Question:
How about practical stuff. How can men treat their wives as queen of the home? It's fine if we can prove our point about keeping the 10 commandments or being redeemed from them. But either way, if your marriage sucks you still loose. |
Bible Answer: You wrote: "How about practical stuff." Correct theology is the most practical thing you will ever possess as a Christian. Get as much of it as you can! You wrote: "How can men treat their wives as queen of the home?" By following Paul's advice: "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her" --Ephesians 5:25 Spend some time with the implications of THAT one! How did Christ demonstrate His love for His people? What lengths did He go to? And that is our role model as husbands! Also note that without a correct understanding of what Christ did for the church (theology), the "practical" just loses its force and impact completely. --Joe! |
