Ephesians 6:1-9

Wednesday evening our Bible study group studied the God ordained relationships between parents and children, and then slaves and masters While common in Roman times and much of humanity history the modern Western interpretation of the second passage regarding slavery is understood as employers and employees. The key to both passages and the preceding one about husband and wife's is obedience. Wife's are to submit to husband, children to parents, and employees to employers. Is this because husband, parents and employers are wonderful? They probably aren't and certainly not perfect. We obey for the Lord Jesus sabe. Here is where the greatest commandment comes into play to love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind,soul and strength.How do we express that love? Through obedience. "If you love me, obey my commandments." John 14:15 cf John 14:21,26, 1 John 2:5 etc Note: the algorithm keeps changing what I write and I weary of correcting it.
