THE CHURCH WHERE GOD LIVES – EPH 2:21-22

Image
    1.      What is the church? 2.      Who is God? 3.      Where does He live?   -          Wrong conception – We are in the presence of God when in church. -          I will dwell in them, -          Your body is the temple of God. -          Acts 7:48; 17:24   The church, whether local assembly or the universal, is made of the regenerated Christians.

Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.”(vs 23 & 24).   The man was not made the head by himself but by the Lord and to this end, the man also is subject to Christ in everything – instruction, guidance, obedience, authority etc. He is therefore, expected to match the headship with responsibility hence v 25.   He is to first and fore-most love the wife and by extension, the children. He is to love, guide, guard, protect and encourage. He is to provide for the Home to train and instruct.
