Jesus Wasn’t Condoning Her Sin, But He Did Tell Her This: “Where Are Your Accusers?” “..Neither Do I Condemn You, Go And Sin No More.”

So that settles any question you might have if God can or will forgive you? God forgives ALL sin….to those that truly ask Him and repent. Does that mean she got away with it? Does that mean she didn’t have to pay for her sin? Not quite. I imagine she struggled with the shame of that afternoon for a long time. I’m sure the haters were still there gossiping about her afterwards.

But I Can Also Imagine That The Love And Grace She Felt That Afternoon, From A Man She Didn’t Even Know, Far Surpassed Anything She’d Ever Experienced Before. Jesus did more than just save her life from being stoned to death, He looked past her sin and saved her soul. His forgiveness was enough to silence the hate of pious religious leaders.

Different #Bible Verses on #Submission : The Bible has a lot to say on the topic of submission.

But before we look at specific verses, let’s first define what submission means.

#Webster #dictionary defines submission as “the act of submitting or yielding to the will or authority of another”.

When it comes to our #relationship with #God, submission means giving ourselves over completely to Him, trusting Him #implicitly, and following His #guidance.

This can be a difficult thing to do, but it’s also incredibly liberating.

What the #Bible Says About #Submission to #God.

When it comes to the topic of submission, the Bible has a lot to say.

But at its heart, the teaching on submission is about yielding to the #Lord and #TrustingHim.

In fact, one of the best places to start is with the story of #Abraham in the book of #Genesis.

After God called him to leave his home and #family, #Abraham #submitted to Him, even though he didn’t understand where he was being led.

Later, when God asked Abraham to offer his son #Isaac as a sacrifice, Abraham again yielded to Him, proving his #faith and trust in God.

Another key Bible passage on submission is from Paul’s letter to the #Philippians.

There, Paul calls #Christians to have the same mindset as #Christ, who “did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,” but instead “made himself nothing” and #submitted Himself fully to God.

When we submit ourselves to God, we are acknowledging His authority and power in our lives.

We are also saying that we trust Him enough to follow His direction even if we don’t understand it.

#Scriptures On #Submission KJV : In #alertness, we are to remain #clearminded, looking out for our #enemy the #devil who seeks to #destroy us.

We #resist him by focusing on staying firm in our #faith and trusting #God to keep His #promises.

#Ephesians 5:22

In this verse, Paul explains how #Christian #husbandsandwives should apply their understanding of #salvation within their #marriage.

Wives are commanded to ” #submit” to their husbands as they would to #Christ, and to show them #respect.

Often overlooked, however, is that men are equally #obligated.

#Husbands are told to love their wives as Christ loved the church: with #humility and #sacrifice as if caring for their own bodies.
