The Ephesians Man
(Ephesians 5:25-33)
Okay, Men. You can't expect God to give you a good woman if you are out chasing Jezebels! Godly men think with their heads...
Real men don't play games. They don't play with a woman's heart. They are the head! A real man will give up anything for his woman. God comes first; she comes second!
He will give up other women, social media, games, his pride, ego, etc, even his own life for her. Nothing will enter his house without going through him first. A real man realizes you are God's daughter and he respects that and waits. A real man will be faithful and loyal, he wont cheat, mistreat or abuse his woman.
He will love her, and she will never wonder about his love. He will leave his mom and dad and build a life with her, his helper. He is gentle and knows how to communicate with his woman. He wont be perfect, but he will strive to be. No such thing as a perfect person, but there is a such thing as a perfect match!

Verse 25-26: Husbands love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for it: That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word.
That is some powerful love right there, love your wife like Christ loved the church. Men should love their wife and protect her and willing to give up his own life for hers!
Verse 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.
Men should be proud of their wife and be faithful and loyal, and treat her good.
Verses 28-30: So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever hated his own flesh: bur nourisheth it and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church. For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Men should love their wife and nourish and cherish as he does his own self. Just as Christ has done for us, the Church.
Verse 31: For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall become one flesh.
When a man and woman joins in holy matrimony, they become one flesh. Men should leave their family and make a family of their own, and love their family, and protect and provide for their family.
Hope you enjoyed!
The perfect match (Ephesians Man and Proverbs Woman)…
When you put God first and use the BIBLE as a roadmap, it will not be perfect, but it will be Godly and that is as close to perfect as you can get!!
Amen! Excellent blog post!
ReplyDeleteI read this when you posted, but came back to re-read recently. Your opening line about men chasing Jezebels couldn't be more spot-on, Sherri. A Jezebel type woman will never be a godly woman (short of a life-changing new birth in Christ), and a godly woman will not act like a Jezebel.
Christian men (although this is hard) need to remember that godly women will exhibit the nature of Christ, not of the world. It should be no surprise then, that her interests are not typical to the usual worldly women that they encounter, and this is a good thing!
And finally, yes... the Bible should be used as a roadmap. Once a godly pair does connect, it will only succeed when God is directing every step. Great wisdom in this blog! God Bless and I love you, honey!
Thank you for all your support, God Bless and I love you, sweetheart!
