Speaker: Charles Lincoln
Marriage reflects Christ’s relationship with the church. Wives are called to submit to their husbands, while husbands are commanded to love their wives sacrificially, just as Christ loved and gave Himself for the church, nurturing and cherishing them as themselves.
Believers are called to reject sexual immorality, greed, foolish talk, and darkness, and instead walk in love, light, wisdom, gratitude, and careful obedience—making the most of every opportunity and being continually filled with the Spirit.
Put away the old life of darkness, deceit, anger, impurity, and selfishness. Be renewed in your mind, walk in truth, kindness, forgiveness, and love, imitating God and following Christ’s example of sacrificial love.
Believers are called to preserve the Spirit’s oneness, grow in Christ through diverse gifts, and mature together as one Body. No longer children swayed by false teachings, they must speak truth in love, grow in Christ, and reject their former walk.
