Ephesians 5:22-33

A living illustration

In what way is the church connected to God? How does the church have a relationship with God? What is the Church meant to be and do and how is that relevant to you?

The rivalry that we experience in our world is a direct result of our rivalry with God. Jesus Christ came to reverse our rivalries by conquering them with love and submission. If you truly want to be free then you must struggle against your tendency to be selfish. The way to do this is to submit as the Church submits to Jesus Christ, as Christ submits to the Church and as a husband nourishes and cherishes his wife. the Rev
