Love and respect in marriage
Gregory Bishop
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: We are discussing Ephesians 5 and the importance of living a life filled with the Holy Spirit. This includes purposefully seeking God with a spirit of worship and thanksgiving, as well as submitting to each other out of reverence for the Lord. Today, we will specifically focus on marriage and the concept of submission. It is important to understand that submission does not mean allowing oneself to be abused by another person or society. In fact, Christian submission is never an excuse to let yourself be abused. The word speaks of submission in a Christian context, which means respecting and loving your partner as a complementary companion, rather than a servant. It is important to understand and respect the differences between men and women, as God made us each unique.
The speaker discusses the concept of submission in marriage as described in the Book of Ephesians. He emphasizes the complementary relationship between men and women and the importance of recognizing and respecting each other's differences. He notes that the man's role as the head of the household is not about command and control, but about being a sacrificial servant for the welfare of his family, as exemplified by Jesus washing the feet of his disciples. The woman's role is to submit to her husband's leadership with respect, which is like medicine and oxygen for his soul. The speaker encourages men to love their wives as Christ loved the church, and for both partners to learn each other's love languages to express emotional love in a way that is received and appreciated.
In this sermon, the speaker talks about the importance of love and respect in marriage. He emphasizes the need for couples to learn each other's love language and to make effort to show love in the way that their partner needs it. He also highlights the importance of submission in marriage, with the man as the head of the house supporting and encouraging his wife to fulfill all that God has for her. The speaker also reminds us that our earthly marriages are prophetic models of what God wants to do in the spirit today, and encourages us to focus on our spiritual relationship with Christ as well. The sermon ends with a prayer for marriages to be reborn and revived with a new love and respect, and for us as a church to fall in love with Christ like never before.

We are talking about the book of Ephesians, we finished last week in Ephesians 5 talking about the life filled with the Holy Spirit, an anointed life because the days are bad and we have to walk with intentionality because otherwise, if we fall asleep we fly like that shrimp asleep. Amen.
We have to purposefully seek God with a spirit of worship, sing to the Lord, here in church and also in daily life. Also a thanksgiving that the complaint turns off the anointing and we want to live grateful.
