The Bible on Home Life

If people would make a study of the Epistles of the New Testament, they would find much in those writings that pertains to the daily life in the home.

In 1 Corinthians 11:3, we read these words:

But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

In a home where Christ is honored, where He is the Head, both the husband and wife, as joint-heirs together of God's grace, bend to His sovereign will. In the third chapter of 1 Peter, more admonition is given.

Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives.

Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing.

When the members of a family fulfill God's commands, and love one another as Christ loved them, there is unity, harmony, and peace in the home.
