Sub-Mission.

Sub-Mission. Submitting to one another in the fear of God. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Saviour of the body. (Ephesians 5:21-23) Lots of men want to quote the first half of verse 22. Wife submit to me. But God starts with mutual submission in verse 21. That includes husbands submitting to your wife. Sub-mission: getting under someone's mission and lifting them up. Supporting one another in their personal walk with God. Supporting one another in the things of life. Supporting one another in the family. Supporting one another in our ministry. But Ladies - only submit in the same way as you would submit to Jesus. You do not have to submit to anything from your husband that Jesus would not ask you to do. Husbands are the head like Christ is the head and He laid down His life.
