10/6/09 LOVE AND COMMITMENT

MESSAGE OF LOVE AND COMMITMENT

Scripture Reading came from (see) Ephesians 5:22-33

Marriage requires the same kind of commitment that salvation requires.

Lk 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

A Right Relationship with God and spouse requires.

Reassigning of Authority. From parents, from family, from self from all others to Christ and to husband (see Ge. 2:24).

Realigning of Alliances. Focused on God and His people and including the spouses family, in the Lord (see Ru. 1:16).

Redirecting of Actions. We no longer live for ourselves but for God and spouse (see Mt. 16:25-26).

THE BIBLICAL ORDER
Christ is the head of the man and the man is the head of the wife.
1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
