Ephesians 5:22-29

 

(Ephesians 5:22-29)

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.  For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.  Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:


Those who are in Christ, Christ becomes husband. The unity of the body of the Lord, the head of the church, is achieved through unity among the saints. It is not a denomination between churches, and it does not mean that they are together in a church building. Those who are in Christ are united by the power of the Holy Spirit. "The church is his body, the fullness of the one who fills all things in all things." Christ fills all things through the church. Today, what is not becoming a regenerated church is that it cannot be the Lord's army. Canaan is the fullness of Christ. So, God's people enter Canaan and fight with Anaxaz. Israel, fighting with the power of Jehovah of armies, defeated all enemies, As you see in Judges, you see that the people are subject to the control of the neighboring countries in such a situation that they do their own thing.

The Lord is the head of the church above all things, and the church inside all things is his feet. Each believer becomes a church, but God's power is achieved through the unity of believers. That church means a church that has been born again. It is not the building of the church, but the regenerated believers are the church and the union of the believers has power. What we do not see is the obedience of all things, that the saints do not become the church of military service against Satan. Today, believers are not associated with Jesus Christ, who died on the cross, but speaks only of the blood of Jesus.

It is becoming a church that does not eat loaves but only drinks wine. Eating loaves is a union with Christ who died on the cross. To eat the loave and drink wine is to become the army of Christ. The believers do not see the Lord, the head of the church, on all things, and they believe that the Lord is with them every day. Those who are not united with Jesus Christ who died on the cross are those who have never met or seen Christ. Those who say they have met and seen Christ are liars.

Ephesians 1:1-10

(Ephesians 1:1-10) P aul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:   Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purp...

Ephesians 2: 1-3

(Ephesians 2: 1-3) 『 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air , the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh , fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 』   The spirit that holds the power of the world is Satan. Those who follow Satan are the object of God's wrath. In Noah's day all except the eight were subjects of God's wrath. Those who do not repent are following Satan. For they follow the world, and disobey the word of God. Satan is against God. Satan covers the shadow of evil on humans. So Satan causes man to sin. The reason is to make human slaves to Satan. Jesus spoke to the Pharisees who were caught by Satan. 『 Ye are of your father the devil, and the...
