WHAT IS MARRIAGE ALL ABOUT? (3)

Love is not a feeling. It is a commitment. A great man of God defines love saying, "A love called out of the heart of the lover on account of the value placed on the object of his love." For believing the finished work of salvation by Jesus, God places a huge value upon the regenerate soul. The husband, understanding the love of Jesus, goes to do likewise to his wife. The 'love' expressed is the Greek agape, 'an unconditional affection.' There is, therefore, no excuse for not loving the wife. None whatsoever. Ephesians 5:22 tells the woman, "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord." What is the Greek word for 'submit'? It is hupotassō (hoop-ot-as'-so): 'to arrange under, to subordinate, obey.' Hupotassō comes from hupo (under) and tasso (arrange properly).Read More

'Love' is the Greek agapaō (ag-ap-ah'-o) 'to love (in a social or moral sense).' Agapaō is the verbal construction of the famous agapē (ag-ah'-pay) kind of love. Agapē is defined by one man of God as: "A love called out of the heart of a lover on account of the value he has placed on the object of his love." The love of the husband towards his wife is that of sheer commitment. Love is not a feeling. It is a committed state of being. A long time ago when I heard Pastor W. F. Kumuyi of Deeper Life Christian Church, taught that: "even if your wife is a witch, you must love your wife," I shook my head with a vigorous objection, followed by a resounding, "No!! How can?" Now that I have known the Bible so well, I do agree, one hundred and fifty percent, with Pastor Kumuyi. The sons of the man of the Eden Garden have every reason to journey into a reminiscing of the woman's plunging of mankind into sin. He is very likely to think that a love commitment to this wife could derail him.Read More
