Equality

(written from my phone so please excuse the typos)

Gal 3:28. For those of you wondering about equality (for we have already touched on "well I know what I have to do for him but what does my husband do for me?" and Tim scripture (and it's selfishness of the question). But what about equality? Doesn't God say we are equal? In gal 3:28 he destinctly says we are equal. It is also discussed in John 13:16 Well this is one of the times you've got to look at the full passage. It's talking about in gods love you are equal. And how we are equal in salvation But there are destinct scriptures that tells us just what God thinks about equality in marriage. 1 Peter 3:7 tells his ads to understand their wives and treated with respect and honor as co-heirs with Jesus in the kingdom of god.
In the beginning man and woman were created and were equal. Both had dominion over everything. Gen 5:1-2 But once sin came to pass women and men were no longer equal. Gen 3:16-19. The punishment was clearly imposed. But God did not reduce women to inferior status, nor did he command men to rule harshly over their wives. However, over the course of history, it has sometimes been misinterpreted to be that gods punishment of eve was justification for degradation and subjugation of women. As much as Paul stated we are equal in gal, be points out in 1 Coe 11:3-10 back to men being the authority I. The family. Also iv Ephesians. 5:21-30.
You might ask but what does he ( my husband) do for me. This is where you must remember : you can only change you. Only god can change other people. One way is for you to show Christ in all you do. And maybe your husband will see that and respond. But don't do something to get something, do it out of love. That way if you dosee the change you feel blessed not d
As if you deserve it.
Col 3:22
