1 Corinthians 11:12: For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God.

They are inseparable. Man is not a sphere but a hemisphere; woman is not a sphere but a hemisphere. It is nonsense for either men or women to talk about liberation. The man needs the woman, and the woman needs the man. This is true liberty in the glorious relationship of marriage. 1

Application

  • Read Galatians 5:13-14. What is the purpose of Christian liberty?
  • Why is there such a battle to use liberty, selfishly?

Thought to Share
