SDG 155 Marching Orders for Husbands from God

Ephesians 5:21–23

It's been said that the difference between courtship and marriage is the difference between what you see in the seed catalog and what comes up in the garden and I think that's caused by a failure to cultivate the garden.

This message deals with God’s Marching orders for husbands and their responsibilities to their wives in the light of a Biblical marriage.

Now the reason we have so many failed marriages today is that we have ignored the original plan that God gave for successful marriages.

And since marriage was ordained in heaven as a union between ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN, we ought to understand what God has to say about marriage.

Now remember we’re looking at the marriage covenant, not the marriage contract, because if you look at marriage as a contract, you’re going to be standing up for your rights, but if you look at marriage as a covenant, you’re going to be accepting your responsibilities.

So if you look at marriage as a contract, you'll be looking for loopholes in the contract, but if you look at marriage as a divine covenant, you won't do that.

According to this passage from Ephesians, man as the husband and the father, has three major responsibilities according to the word of God. 

So provided the LORD’s willing this message will clearly explain those three Biblical responsibilities of a husband and father. And they are servant leadership, sacrificial love, and steadfast loyalty.

And this is CRUCIAL to understand before you will ever be able to use the weapons of our warfare in the army of God in these end times!
