Submission and respect to man

Good morning everyone!! I hope you have a wonderful day in the LORD JESUS CHRIST! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!! Many perils may cross our path, we just need to continue looking up, trusting God!!

1 Peter 3:5-6 "This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They trusted God and accepted the authority of their husbands. For instance, Sarah obeyed her husband, Abraham, and called him her master. You are her daughters when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands might do."

Peter is talking to the women here. Being submissive to another's authority means to cooperate voluntarily out of love and respect for God and for that person. Ideally, submission is mutual. Even when it is onesided, the expression of submission can be an effective Christian witness. Jesus Christ submitted to death so that we could be saved, we may sometimes have to submit to unpleasant circumstances so that others will see Christ in us.

One-sided submission requires tremendous strength. We can not do it without the power of the Holy Spirit working in us. This is a note from Peter to the women, tomorrow, a note to the men. Thank you for reading with me today. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
