Flourishing

The Fifth Commandment (5) Submit to One Another

Read: Ephesians 5:1-21
Text: verse 21

In biblical thought the freedom of individualism is really bondage and the submission to God and to the obligations of belonging to the body of Christ is really freedom. True freedom in biblical terms is not freedom to express ourselves and to do whatever we want to do, it is living as God has designed us to live and that involves a significant dose of self-denial and submitting to the demands and constraints of our relationships with other people.
— Rev. Jerry Hamstra
