This is What Jesus Christ Did for You | Mitch Horton

Why Easter Matters

 

1. Humanity’s Condition:

-All people are sinful (Romans 3:23) and separated from a holy God.

-God's justice requires a penalty for sin—spiritual and physical death (Romans 6:23).

-Without a solution, humanity is destined for judgment and hell.

 

2. Jesus' Mission and Sacrifice:

-Jesus, though sinless, became sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21).

-His death was not just physical; it involved deep spiritual suffering and separation from God (Mark 15:34). -

He bore the full penalty of sin so we wouldn’t have to.

-He went to hell on our behalf, satisfying God’s justice (Matthew 12:40; Acts 2:27).

 

3. God’s Plan of Redemption:

-Jesus' death was part of God's foreknown plan (Acts 2:23). -Prophesied in Isaiah 53 and fulfilled in the Gospels.

-His spiritual resurrection (rebirth) in hell and physical resurrection confirmed victory over sin and death.

 

4. The Result for Us:

-Jesus' resurrection guarantees our new, glorified bodies (1 Corinthians 15).

-Through faith in Him, we receive forgiveness, reconciliation, and eternal life (John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10).

What is the Wife's Role in the Marriage? | God's Blueprint for Marriage (Part 3)

This lesson addresses the wife's role in marriage, focusing on the biblical concept of submission, equality, and mutual respect. It begins by referencing previous lessons, particularly how cultural norms conflict with God’s design for marriage and the significance of being “one flesh.” A strong relationship with God is emphasized as the foundation for healthy marriages, where mutual love and respect stem from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

 

The primary focus of this lesson is on submission within marriage, as outlined in Ephesians 5:21-33. It highlights that marriage involves both partners submitting to each other out of reverence for Christ. A wife’s role, as per the scriptures, is to submit and respect her husband, as the husband is the head of the wife in the same way Christ is the head of the church.

 

In conclusion, a wife’s role in marriage is to submit out of love and respect, always considering her husband’s leadership, but never at the expense of her own voice or God’s command for righteousness. Submission is a beautiful, voluntary act of love, balanced by mutual respect and equality in Christ.
