Intimate relationship Christ loves His body Eph. 5:25; Phil. 2:5-8 The body is to love the Head Eph. 5:24

What if there was no love? If Christ did not love the body: No remission of sins Jn. 1:29; Eph. 1:7 No Advocate 1 Jn. 2:1 No heaven 1 Cor. 15:23, 24

What if there was no love? If the body does not love the Head: No remission of sins Jn. 1:29; Eph. 1:7 No Advocate 1 Jn. 2:1 No heaven 1 Cor. 15:23, 24

What if the Head abandoned His position? Because of murmuring. Because of faults. Because of indifference.

What if the body abandoned its position? Because of desires to do other things. Because of dissatisfaction with leadership. Because of unhappiness with the norm.

The body’s love for the Head. Complete love. »Smyrna, Rev. 2:8-11 »Philadelphia, Rev. 3:7-13

The body’s love for the Head. Partial love. »Ephesus, Rev. 2:1-7 »Pergamos, Rev. 2:12-17 »Thyatira, Rev. 2:18-29 »Sardis, Rev. 3:1-6

The body’s love for the Head. No love. »Laodicea, Rev. 3:14-22

The relationship of the body and Head Is healthy and helpful Only when one loves the other; Then the two blend together For each other’s benefit. - Galatians 2:20

The wife is to submit to her husband, Eph. 5:22-24 Respect his position as head Love him, Titus 2:4 Support & encourage him

The husband is to love his wife, Eph. 5:25-31 Sacrifice Cherish Nourish

Can the husband abandon his duties? Because she’s a nag. Because she’s disrespectful. Because she doesn’t love him like she should.

Can the wife abandon her duties? Because he’s not sensitive and tender. Because he’s overbearing and crude. Because he’s not brilliant and wealthy.

The relationship of the husband (HEAD) And wife (BODY) Is only healthy and helpful When there is mutual respect and love; Then the two blend together For the benefit of both.

No more: My life VS. your life. My money VS. your money. I’m only here till the children are grown. How can I get out of this?
