The Body of Christ (Page 8)

God’s First Institution the Family

God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. It is composed of persons related to one another by marriage, blood, or adoption. Aside from the brazen attack upon the Deity of Jesus Christ, the next platform of attack by Satan is the Family unit.

Eph 5:25-28, “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

  • 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
  • 27 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.
  • 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.” KJV
