Submission is not about gaining power for yourself but about giving up power to Christ as the head of our lives and our households to lead us as a perfect example of the self-sacrificing love essential to give grace to our family first without any expectation of a return.
Ephesians is a letter from the Apostle Paul to the church he planted in Ephesus. They are growing but have lost some of the fire they had for God. Paul reminds them that they need to grow in Gods vision for their lives.
