God’s commands to believers (#12)

73. Let wives be subject to their husbands.

Ephesians 5:22 – Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.

74. Let wives reverence their husbands.

Ephesians 5:33 – Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

75. Let husbands love their wives.

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

76. Let the adorning of women be more inward than outward.

1 Peter 3:3-4 – Do not let your adornment be merely outward – arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel – 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.

77. Let the afflicted pray.

James 5:13 – Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.

God still heals the afflicted just like he did in Old Testament times. Pray in faith to be healed and it will come to pass if it’s God’s will.

78. Let your requests be made know to God.

Philippians 4:6 – Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

79. Let everyone be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

James 1:19 – So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.

80. Let everyone examine himself at communion.

1 Corinthians 11:28 – But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

Bread is a metaphor for the body of Christ and drink of the cup refers to wine being the blood of Christ. Communion is given in remembrance of the cross where Jesus gave up his body and poured out his blood for our redemption. Jesus consecrated communion at the Last Supper. I’m a Baptist trying to explain something I know nothing about personally. Forgive me if I haven’t explained it correctly.
