“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” Ephesians 5:25
What does “gave himself up for her” mean? Jesus died for the church.
Guys, the best way we can love our families is to be constantly learning to “die” to ourselves. The way to Christian happiness and peace? We must:
- Die to laziness.
- Die to drinking much.
- Die to being an angry man.
- Die to not having a manly example growing up.
- Die to having no friends.
- Die to not being a generous person.
- Die to always being in conflict.
- Die to workaholism.
- Die to pornography.
- Die to holding on to the past.
- Die to fear.
- Die to evil words spoken over your life.
- Die to inappropriate outbursts of emotion.
- Die to finding hope in stuff.
- Die to thinking badly about yourself.
- Die to small thinking.
- Die to comparisons.
- Die to thinking it’s all on your shoulders.
- Die to thinking your life is about you.
- Die to being offended.
- Die to suicidal thoughts.
- Die to not leading your family.
- Die to thinking your wife makes you whole.
- Die to believing your past is all that matters.
- Die to avoiding difficult conversations.
- Die to life of purposelessness.
- Die to drugs.
- Die to limiting beliefs about your future.
- Die to not leading your kids spiritually.
Every death you die is a promotion for your future.
