YOU CAN KNOW THE WILL OF GOD: In Ephesians 5 and verse 22 it says, "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord." [NIV]. If you will note the context, it occurs right after the submit to one another statement of verse 21. This term in ancient Greek had the idea of yielding authority to one of higher rank. In this context, the Lord wants us to understand the relationship and roles of the husband and wife in the marriage. Submit does not mean to be a doormat! It is a matter of recognizing God ordained positions. All Christians are to submit to the leadership of Christ as Christ submitted to the leadership of the Father. This is the will of God.
