Spiritual Makeover II

1 Peter 3:1-7 NKJV

3 Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, 2 when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. 3 Do not let your  adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 5 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror. 7 Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered.

I. Mutual Submission

Submission – a voluntary attitude of cooperation

 

II. The Hidden Person of the Heart

3 Marks of a Tender-Hearted Woman

1) Her Actions Speak Louder Than Her Words

2) Her Attitude Is Her Most Attractive Feature

A Spiritual Makeover

3) Her Admiration Is More Biblical Than Conventional

 

III. Dwell With Them With Understanding

Eph. 5:25 “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her.”

1 Peter 2:21 “For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example so that you might follow in His steps.” 

Eph. 5:28-30 “In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body.”
