MARRIED
Husbands, love your wives,
as Christ loved the church
and gave Himself up for her,
So that he might sanctify her,
having cleansed her by the
washing of water with the Word,
That He might present the church
to Himself in glorious splendor,
without spot or wrinkle or any such
things (that she might be holy, perfect).
Even so husbands, should love their
wives as (being [...]

For He is Himself our peace, our bond
of unity and harmony. He has made
us both Jew and Gentile one body,
and has broken down, destroyed, abolished
the hostile dividing wall between us.
By abolishing in His own crucified flesh
the enmity caused by the Law with its decrees
and ordinances (which he annuled), that He
from the two might create in [...]

And He has put all things under

The Law codifies right behavior.
Right action is based on right thought.
A new mind based on spiritual rebirth is required.
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ grants this to us.
He paid our sin debt in full. We can be reborn of
the Holy Spirit and live forever with Him and the Father.

Do you not know brothers and sisters,
for I am speaking to those who are
acquainted with the Law, that the legal claims
have power over a person only for as
long as he or she is alive?
For instance, a married woman is bound
by law to her husband as long as he lives,
but if her husband dies, she is [...]

THE LAMB OF GOD
John answered saying,
I only baptize in water.
Among you there stands
One you do not recognize
and with Whom you are not
acquainted and of Whom you
know nothing.
It is He Who, coming after me,
is preferred before me,
the string of Whose sandal
I am not worthy to unloose.
These things occured in Bethany
across the Jordan where John was
then baptizing.
The [...]

I am the good shepherd and I know My sheep
and am known by My own.
As the Father knows Me even so I know the Father
and I lay down My life for the sheep.
(John 10.14 and 15).
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died
to save us from sin and death. He gives us eternal
life to [...]
THE LOVE OF CHRIST COMPELS US
For the love of Christ compels us,
because we judge thus, that if One
died for all, then all died,
And He died for all, that those
who live should live
no longer for themselves,
but for Him who died for them
and rose again.
( II. Corinthians 5.14 and 15).
POINTS FOR PRAYER
1) The love or charity of [...]
