Family happiness is the Lord's desire (1 Peter 3:1-7)
God loves you,
And he loves me and he loves us all,
God loves all things in the universe and all the creatures that live there,
There are so many beautiful and lovely things in outer space and on Earth where we live,
Among those lovely and beautiful things, there is a reason that God loves me and you.
Yes,
Because God made us,
1 Corinthians 4:15 “In Christ there are ten thousand teachers, but not many fathers, for I have begotten you through the gospel in Christ Jesus.”
Our becoming children of God is the grace and love of God accomplished in the gospel.
Children are the fruit of love.
God has given children as a gift through the love of husband and wife, and we want them to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

Psalm 127:3 “Behold, children are the inheritance of the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”
Psalm 127:4-5 “The children of a young man are like arrows in the hands of a merchant; blessed is the one whose quiver is full; they will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gates.”
Children are not obtained by human effort, but are a fruit given by God.
It is said that the divine purpose is not to be put to shame by the enemy,
God's people must not imitate that many modern people do not want to have children,
We must understand the will of God that He wants us to be fruitful, multiply, and replenish the earth.
It is to be blessed by standing and become a child of God who is praised for standing before the Lord.

Verse 1 says, “In the same way, wives, be obedient to your husbands.”
The obedience of Jesus Christ's death on the cross saved us from our sins,
Without the obedience of Jesus dying on the cross, we would not be a saved people.
Matthew 26:39 “Going a little farther, and with his face to the ground, he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me.”
The thought of Jesus is that the cup of the cross passes from Jesus,
I didn't want to die on the cross,
“But not as I will, but as you will.”
But God the Father wanted Jesus to die on the cross,
He commands us to obey our husbands through the obedience of Jesus dying on the cross,
God is calling to do this command,
“Wives”

God called Abraham,
Leave your hometown, 75-year-old Abraham is called to leave his homeland,
Yes and obeyed,
Calling Moses,
A mother who used the wrong fist and was expelled from the royal palace and lived as a shepherd in the wilderness of Midian.
God came and called you,
God, who called Moses at the age of 80, went into Egypt where he had deserted and fled,
to find and go to Canaan,

It is rare for a person to receive the word of God and be saved through his wife.
that you are saved by your wife's deeds,
This is God's plan,
1 Peter 3:6 “As Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, so if you do good and do not be surprised by any fear, you are his daughters.”
Therefore, do not ignore God's plan, but obey it and build a family that bears the fruits of salvation.
All,
2, must have a husband,
A husband's prayer makes the home a heaven,
The place where the Lord dwells is the kingdom of heaven, whether it be a booth or a palace,
In order not to block the prayer of the husband who creates the home heaven, he must cherish and love his wife.
1) You have to live with your wife
1 Peter 3:7 “Husbands, in the same way dwell with your wives according to knowledge.”
2) You must respect your wife
1 Peter 3:7 “Know him as a weaker vessel, and as one who will also inherit the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be blocked.”
