Week 4 Husbands
God blessed humanity when He made us to live in community, and there is no closer community than our families. What makes a family strong? In this series, we’ll examine topics to help us get to a solid, Christian family based on God’s principles.
- The Bible gives specific instructions to men as husbands.
Ephesians 5:22-24 (ESV) This Scripture begins by addressing women first.
Ephesians 5:25-33 (ESV) The Bible tells husbands that they play the role of what Christ plays to the church. The husband isn’t Christ because he can never be perfect, but he should love his wife just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her.
Biblical, Christ-like love is an act of the will that leads to action for the good of the other person.
There are responsibilities of a husband.
1. Sacrificial love
Ephesians 5:25-27 (ESV) A husband must look out for the spiritual needs of his wife.
Ephesians 5:28-30 (ESV) A husband should love his wife as he loves himself.
2. Protective leadership
Husbands step into this leadership position to protect their wives and families.
