This lesson addresses the wife's role in marriage, focusing on the biblical concept of submission, equality, and mutual respect. It begins by referencing previous lessons, particularly how cultural norms conflict with God’s design for marriage and the significance of being “one flesh.” A strong relationship with God is emphasized as the foundation for healthy marriages, where mutual love and respect stem from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

The primary focus of this lesson is on submission within marriage, as outlined in Ephesians 5:21-33. It highlights that marriage involves both partners submitting to each other out of reverence for Christ. A wife’s role, as per the scriptures, is to submit and respect her husband, as the husband is the head of the wife in the same way Christ is the head of the church.

In conclusion, a wife’s role in marriage is to submit out of love and respect, always considering her husband’s leadership, but never at the expense of her own voice or God’s command for righteousness. Submission is a beautiful, voluntary act of love, balanced by mutual respect and equality in Christ.

Executive Pastor Meera Short walks us through Micah 6:8 and describes three things the Lord requires of all believers.

God’s love for us is based on His justice.

His justice and holiness means that He must deal with sin, which is disobedience to His known will. He must deal with our sin by the payment of a just penalty. Jesus took our sin penalty so that we could be freed from sin!

God did not pauperize us when He forgave us. The justice behind His love gives us dignity.

And so when something occurs and it affects others, not just you, then the loving thing to do is to stand with what is right and what is true, and call it out! Be willing to stand for what is right when someone does something that affects a lot of people!
