Submission, Authority & Conscience towards God Pt. 3 Series: Maintaining this Hope Past few weeks we’ve been working our way through the letter of first Peter and the last two of those weeks we’ve been looking at submission, authority and conscience towards God and how that is expressed in our relationships. In closing last week, we introduced the topic of husbands loving and respecting their wives. Husbands are to respect and honor their wife 1Peter 3:7, "Husbands, in the same way, treat your wives with consideration as the weaker partners and show them honor as fellow heirs of the grace of life. In this way nothing will hinder your prayers." In the same way… Husbands are to treat their wives with consideration – which means they are to live together with them according to knowledge. We have a good tradition in the Christian faith of looking back to Genesis for the answer to the core questions of life. Jesus did it, Paul did it, Peter did it, James did it and so it seems best that we do the same. What “knowledge” is the Holy Spirit through Peter referring to here? Well, we will find a good portion of our answer beginning in Genesis 2:18-25.
