The beauty of submission

Women, do not listen to the world which whispers into your ear that submission makes you vulnerable. Christ Himself was obedient unto death, even death on a cross. If obedience is a virtue which led to the salvation of the world, to the bridging of the infinite gap between Creator and created, then who are we to choose another path?

Submission means "under the mission." Woman, be under the mission of man. God commanded him to keep and till the garden; God has deemed that he be your protector. The serpent in the garden went to the woman and bypassed God's family structure. To what end? The fall of humanity. By all means, be sure that the man to whom you submit is under God's mission. Then, submit to him out of reverence to Christ, as to the Lord. Submit to love.
