Message summary & scripture references

Submission is a topic that has often been fought over between husbands and wives. However, when God created the concept of submission it was not supposed to be a weapon. In today’s Daily Word, you’ll discover the proper context of submission, and learn why God asks wives to submit and husbands to lead.

Ephesians 5:22-25 KJV

[22] Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. [23] For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. [24] Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. [25] Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

Colossians 3:18-19 KJV

[18] Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. [19] Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

Psalm 133:1-3 KJV

[1] Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! [2] It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; [3] As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

1 Timothy 2:14 KJV

[14] And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

Genesis 3:6-7 KJV

[6] And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. [7] And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
