You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free
Galatians 5:13-14
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Love and respect, so many people have a fear of love yet we all want to be loved and respected.
Parents teach your children love and respect for Jesus and people. The women in my life as a child, my grandma and my mom were both instrumental in teaching me these things. Without them I would not be the person that I am today.
Sisters show love and respect to your family. Even when they don’t deserve it.
Wives: give your husbands love and respect and trust so he can fulfill his calling. By the way, he should be doing the same for you.
If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed
John 8:36
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Jesus has set us free, we are his children and God is our father and Judge. We are free to follow the path God has set before us. We are no longer slaves to sin but operate in God’s court.
1 Corinthians 6:12
“I have the right to do anything” you say, but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”but, I will not be mastered by anything.
We are free indeed and we live through the grace of God. We do not live by man’s rules but by the Holy Spirit. We each must have a relationship with God The Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit, live by the spirit and listen and implement into your lives what they say to you.
One last thought
Ephesians 5
Submit does not mean that you have to accept abuse of any kind. It does mean to love, respect and support your husband. And, he is suppose to treat you like Jesus treated the church. Which means he should love you so much that he would give his life for you and never raise a hand against you. He should cherish and protect you and always make you feel safe. If that is not the case, I urge you to talk to a trusted friend, an elder or a pastor to get help for you and your family.
I thank God every day for the women in my life.
