Submission that leads to growth means aligning my will and freedom with God’s will and freedom. God’s will for us includes freely submitting to each other out of love and reverence for Christ.
SCRIPTURE
“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” (Ephesians 5:21)
“Who being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and because obedient to death—
even death on a cross!” (Philippians 2:6-8)
“He must become greater; I must become less.” (John 3:30)
“Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account.” (Hebrews 13:17)
“Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.” (Romans 12:1)
