Blessed Family (Ephesians 5:22-32)
It is said that Korea still needs more time to become a developed country, but the divorce rate is the same as that of developed countries.
Moreover, statistics have come out that the divorce rate has increased even more this year.
Among the reasons for divorce, financial problems are the most common, so money is emerging as a big problem among the reasons for divorce.
How precious is the place you call your home? If this family is broken, the foundation of society will collapse.
God created a community called the family and the church. A family is a blood-related community that God values and cares for. When these families are broken, their families are the most unhappy people.
The source of happiness comes from the family, and a broken family cannot be a happy family.
To accept Jesus and become a child of God means the restoration of character first, and then the restoration of the family. Every home must be restored to a happy home in Christ.
It is God's will that families should be restored.
Happy families who believe in Jesus and are saved will gain new strength to serve their neighbors and society and work for the kingdom of God. When the family fails to fulfill its role, the society and the country have no hope.
Just as eggs can hatch well in an intact nest, your home should be a happy nest.
Even if you are not successful socially and have no wealth, you are a happy person if you have satisfaction and joy in your family. Happiness must be found in this way at home. This is because God created human beings to find happiness in the family.
God put Adam to sleep and created Eve. The two united to form a family.
God wanted Adam's family to live happily ever after, and He was always with them.
A restored family is a family where God is with Him and governs Himself. Such a family is said to be a blessed family. Who is the owner of your household? I hope that you will become a blessed family living with Jesus as your master. If you report all your problems to Jesus, obey His commands, and live in the spirit of Jesus, your family will be happy.
Through these words, we can understand the relationship between husband and wife by looking at the relationship between the church and Christ.
Your church was born from the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus Christ and the Church are united. Jesus became the sacrifice on the cross to pay for our sins. In this way, the husband should love and sacrifice for his wife, and the wife should submit to her husbands as the church submits to, serves, and obeys Christ. The family where God is with must have sacrifice and obedience.
Husband and wife are not a male-female relationship. But God created the man first and then the woman. Therefore, female wives must first say to their male husbands, “Submit! Be obedient!” he is saying. The secret to happiness starts here. If this order is not maintained, happiness will be destroyed and the family will also be broken. When family order is maintained, social order is also maintained.
(1 Peter 3:1) “Wives, in the same way submit to your husbands, so that even those who do not obey the way may be saved, not by word but by the deeds of their wives. is called spring”.
This means that even those who do not believe in Jesus will be saved by seeing their good deeds when they see wives obeying their husbands. How important are these words?
Some sisters try to obtain good sermon materials to save their husbands, but instead, they save their husbands when they show Christ through their lives changed through earnest prayer and the Word for salvation. It can be said that it is difficult to save a husband by persuading him with words without showing Christ.
We, the members of the church, need to understand and know the truth of the Bible. Please know that those who become husbands must be able to sacrifice for their wives, and those who become wives can have a blessed and happy family when they absolutely submit to their husbands.
The home is a model of heaven. Heaven is the ideal and perfect home established by God.
Heaven on earth is your home. If you do not feel heaven in your home, you cannot see the eternal heaven.
Your home should be like heaven. The whole family should taste heaven at home. Such a family is a blessed family.
A heavenly home doesn't happen by chance. The whole family is made by faith in Christ. I bless you in the name of the Lord that all of you will become precious people who are building a happy family in Christ and making a home heaven.
