I am a Christian and a narrow road I ride...Tim Hawkins
- Jesus is the foundation of everything we believe in. Isaiah 28:16,
Unbelievers disobey by their unbelief in who Jesus is
Believers, holy, separate, set aside to proclaim his excellency
Picked to be a people...of God
Heb 10:23 Encourage each other...fellowship
Abstain from lusts that will distract you from submitting to Jesus.
Guilt comes from pride... I cannot believe I did that. Conviction is seeking and submitting to obey the Holy Spirit

There is a ranking of biblical higher and lower principles.
Jesus in submission to the Father ...justly.
Eph 5, Col 3, Genesis 2
How God sees Marriage
Genesis-It is not good for man to be alone - God created woman from his flesh to be a helper suitable for him
- Joining makes a man complete - designed this way
- Its not about you being happy
- try to redefine the relationship for personal fulfillment, just as an emotional arrangement
Captain of a ship runs the ship through the first officer xo
- Women were becoming Christians and berating their husbands in public... poor witness ...needed to submit and love and honor/respect them with the goal of their salvation.
Gentle and quiet spirit is internal beauty
Girls...want to be beautiful ...attract
Culture has a changing definition of beauty as external
Good dad would love and protect
God is the father that you needed
Trust God and his provision and not live in fear.
3:7
-You husbands in the same way (links back to 2:21 -in the same way Jesus submitted to who the Father is.)
Be in submission to their needs.
Genesis...it is not good for man to be alone.
God made both and female to reflect this image. Helper=complement
Is 49:15 Women are compassionate... reflect Gods heart
...love your wives the way Christ lived the church - forgiven of all past
Can only be done by relying on the Holy Spirit to guide in wisdom and love
1 Peter 3:15
15But sanctify the Lord Godfn in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;
speak in gentleness and respect
just tell your story of how you have hope
John 9:24 - blind man - I don't know but I know he healed me
Come and see John 1, 4

Your Life's Witness
How will you respond to trials
14:12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for testing, as though something strange were happening to you.
Your Testing = proving to yourself what you know
Some trials are from life in a fallen world...to prove us (blacksmith heat and shape steel for a given purpose and task and character needs)
12:13 no matter the reason ...keep on rejoicing since you have God's Spirit.
and salvation
And unbelievers have no hope
