Ephesians 5 Respect

22Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. 24But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.

These are some of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible. Feminist's say no way! But what is God actually saying here?

Wives respect your husband.
Why would God tell a wife to respect their husband? Because it's against their nature and it doesn't come easy.

Has God set the husband as the authority figure over the household? Yes, but it comes with a price. He is going to be held accountable when he doesn't run the household the way God wants it to be run.
He also gives an example on how man is the head of the household, "as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body."
Christ gave His life for us and the church, our Savior.
Will the husband give his life for protection of his family?

Now we come to another verse which may be troubling to some: "24But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything."
Does God really mean what He says here? Yes but to truly understand this verse we need to study what God says how the husband is to treat his wife. Stay tuned for tomorrow!

Also "The submission of the wife to the husband in Ephesians 5 does not allow the husband to be selfish or domineering."

In the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve sinned God said this:
Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."

Now we know why husband and wife have disagreements!
