Ephesians Chapter 5 Discussion Page 6

Husband should be good to there wives because it takes two to make a marriage work to become one.God made it to be that way,I 'am happy in my marriege going on 5 years and growing.

giving thanks always for all things unto GOD and the Father in the name of our Lord JESUS CHRIST. THANK YOU JESUS THANK YOU JESUS THANK YOU JESUS THANK YOU JESUS.

I agree with Toni. Only men who have Christ in their hearts and are filled with the Holy Ghost can love their wives unconditionally. Thank God for his Word which challenges us to be there for our wives and families.

The only husband who can truly love the way Christ loved is he must possess Christ. He must be filled with the Holdy ghost, who will spread the love abroad in his heart. Women are wanting good men, but if they are not godly men, they will not have this love Paul speaks of.

Jesus Christ loved me so much that He gave Himself for me. That is love. Love gives !!!! Hate takes. If you will notice there are a lot of things that give the sun gives light The earth gives herb for food the tree gives food to eat. . God gave us all things richly to enjoy. His blood gives live. God is always love and live and living .

The kind of the Bible is saying in the sacrificial love, that is, the love Jesus has for us. The Bible says nobody can hate any part of his body. So, we men will ought to love our wives as Jesus love the church. Note that, marriage centred on three things Love man , Submission wife obedience children all these lead to dependable and reliable family.

Redeeming the time means to be LOYAL to the ONE who own the time. What did you used your time for? How did you spent your time? What is controling your time? What is the purpose IN and OF your time? What are the GOALS and TARGET in your time. Everybody on earth have 24 hours to his or her self, OBAMA have 24h, I have 24h, you also have 24h to your self. Our diffirent in success in life is what we do with our life, how we do and use our time. Our success in christianity and the HOPE of making HEAVEN is what we use our time and life for. Here is my final conclution Fear God and obey his commandment, for this is the entire duty of man. For God will judge us for everything we do with time we spent on earth, including every hidden things good or bad.

Because the days are so evil, we need to make the most of our time we have left doing Gods work , spreading the gospel to win souls

I think the ansewers u gave me were very good

l learnt some good lessons in this chapter as to why we should live and walk in the light of God. We must understand who we are in Christ that we are no longer the same person who was living under the influence of the spirit of darkness. The light in us must be able to identify darkness and as concerning husband and wife it is very clear that the two will succeed by obeying God 's command as each of them have a part to play .The woman is expected to submit and reverence her husband and the husband is expected to love his wife as Christ loves the church unto death that means the two has life together and if they refuse to do this either of each is hating his own body and that is why a lot of couples are suffering today if the principles of commitment and faithfulness to each other is not applied,is a practical life style true and faithful not deception and true love actually gives up all for your loved and thats what God did for us first by giving his son to die for our sins love is giving the best to the end.

This scripture clearly indicates that,that which is in our spirit can clearly be manifested in our body,flesh and bones as we acknowledge what is in our spirit and see ourselves that way because as he is so are we and all things which we need in life he has give them to us

Love love love this book,as a fairly new christian about to get married it really speaks to me.

It was encouragibg

The Lord showed me that this letter was an analogy to allow the new church to understand their relationship with Christ in terms of what they already knew and understood It is not an order for wives to submit or husbands to abandon their family This is a very beautiful analogy when understood correctly

The fruit of the SPIRIT is our LORD JESUS CHRIST who is righteous good and whom is the TRUTH

Marriage is a determinant device for leadership ability

You know walking in love is not only good for immediate gratification it is good for a lifetime The word say for GOD so loved the world GOD is love To walk in love is to walk in GOD To walk in love is to be in GOD and GOD IN US

Susan Dalton s comment was very well explained Jesus gave Himself I also ought to give of myself to those in need spiritualy physically and mentally Yes it is a stinch in God s nostrils when we do not walk in Love

I believe redeeming the time means recovering lost opportunities most of them if not all by increasing our speed at doing God s work This is because we wasted more of our time in the world and more also we have little time left for the coming of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ

Heavenly Father I give thanks to every blessing every struggle that you have carried us through every storm for answering my prayers for listening to my prayers giving us the opportunity to wake up and go on through our day with you beside me to give me strength Dear heavenly father I thank you for never leaving me or forsaken me for being with each one of my children and my grand children We thank you for our jobs for financial blessings for our health for the food on our table clothes on our back and a roof over our head dear lord Lord we love you and we need you we thank you for your knowledge to be obedient to your commandments and for giving us knowledge understanding and wisdom to do as you would want us to do Dear God we thank you for all you have done all that you are doing and all you are going to do We love you and honor you and glorify your holly name and we magnify you in Jesus name we pray Amen

Eph.5v1:Let it then be your desire to be like God, as well-loved children,Eph.5v11:Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.My Lord and my God give me the grace to follow u

I am going to Pray about these things as I hope people aren't trying to Snare me.....i know me and i know my Father.....I know the TRUTH! And i know if in being a certain way i receive Correction if Its an individual acting a certain Way then they also Need to receive the Correction. Praise THEM! For Knowledge either you walking in the light or your in Darkness....

That unequal yoke of teaming up and buddying with those that have not been born again leads to grieving the Holy Ghost within me and it doesn't take long to experience this. The things that I used to find pleasure in lost their appeal after my conversion. A repentant heart, the Holy Ghost, and God's Holy Bible have brought me to desire the good and acceptable will of God. I can understand that God's Word is good for me and for those without Christ... like when He says, "Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord."

Mark 3
Matt 12
"A house divided cannot stand"
Married for 29 years. My wife has always been afraid to leave her family. As a husband and as a father, my word has always been condemned. I try to avoid an attitude of "see I told you" but after three decades my fears are reality. Problems as parents, problems with finances and problems with physical health continue. Several times I'm asked if I would do it again. I would truly require that we move far away so we can develop our own family! A house divided cannot stand! Important roles as Christians, as spouses and then as parents! Nurture these now. For thise

This verse hits home yo the marriage problems mu husband. N myself r having with his family is there any other verses that closely pertain to this verse

Becoming light to the gentiles should be sacrificial just like JESUS loved the world and died for us on the cross.
So love others in order to be their light

It is helpful as 1cor 6:18 walk on the path of righteousness

When you feel down, you may find it difficult to give thanks. Take heart God works all things out for good if we love him and are fitting unto his plans ( Romans 8:28). Thank God, not for your problems but for the strength he is building in you through the difficult experiences fothe life. You can be sure that God's perfect love will see you thought.

The scripture is perfect if only men could understand its significance and execute their roles we would have a society with less defects as men set the way for wives and children.God has entrusted them with a divine role,they may not be perfect in all things but if their thirst for God and to do His will surely their would have founded a solid ground for all of us.
