New Creation Conduct in the Family - Part II

Outline: Two Truths that Husbands should Know Well in Order to Love their Wives Well

1. Christ's Love for us, his Bride (vv. 25-27)

2. Our Union with Our bride (vv. 28-33)

Questions:

1. Where was the gospel in this passage?

2. How does the gospel motivate and shape a husband's love for his wife?

3. How does knowing one's gospel identity (who we are in Christ) shape the way we live as a whole?

4. What is the difference between loving one's neighbor as oneself as loving one's wife and why?

5. How does Genesis 2:24 point to Christ and the church?

6. (Not for group discussion) Each woman is different - and so, it is up to the husband to know and learn his wife in order to live with her according to knowledge. Personally reflect on ways that you can love her and live with her in a way of knowledge/understanding.
