Ephesians 5 – Reverence and Humility
Mutual Submission (humbling oneself under another) through REVERENCING THE MESSIAH is the Holy Ground where all Newness of LIFE springs forth from.
Anytime one Image-bearer DEMANDS from another Image-bearer something that G-D COMMANDS us to ‘give freely’ (as HE does) – such as LOVE and RESPECT or reverence – it PRODUCES a host of WORLDLY FEARS.
We have to be very careful and conscientious of our motives and practices. Do they measure up to ‘It IS WRITTEN’ (Emet)? Do they agree with the Spirit of CHESED? Understand that in the Kingdom what we GIVE, we get. When we freely GIVE love and respect, love and respect we get.
