The Bible says in Ephesians 5:25, “Husbands, love your wives even as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for it.”
Some translations read “gave Himself up for it.” Your wife must know that she comes before the children and before your own mother and father. “For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave unto his wife.”
Joyce knows that she is number one of all the people on the face of this earth. In my life, she is number one. And I know beyond the shadow of any doubt that I am number one in Joyce’s life. That gives me a sense of security to think that of all of the people who live today or who have ever lived, there is one person who loves me more than any other person on the face of the earth. What a feeling that is to my heart to know that she loves me that way. And she is to know that I love her and that she is number one. Therefore, I need to treat her as Christ treated the church—that Jesus gave Himself for the church.
Greg is a strong believer in Jesus Christ and in the need for revival in today’s Church. He likes reading, writing, music, and spending time with his family and his dog Roxie. By day he is a self-employed non-emergency medical transport driver, and is the Editor-in-Chief for the National War Council, as well as being a political analyst, author, blogger, and an accomplished DIYer. His articles are first published on Inspirational Christian Blogs, and I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ!, and from there the articles are published on other well-known conservative websites.
The author feels convinced that the Church is in extreme danger of being forsaken by God for being unbiblical and seeks to warn all those with “ears to hear.” He believes we are in the last days of the end times, and that God is building His Remnant Church even now.
Greg is the author of: Spiritual Darkness is Destroying America and the Church and
