In a sense, this is what Jesus did for us when He left heaven's glory and came to this earth to die for our sins. He saw us trapped between our sin and God's righteousness with no way to help ourselves. He humbled Himself by coming in the likeness of men and taking the form of a servant. The power of lives consciously submitted to each other out of reverence for God is staggering. It makes little difference whether we like one another or not.
Fear is the enemy to a commitment of submission.
Today too many opt to live together out of wedlock because they refuse to submit to another. They are afraid to make a commitment to submit to another for life. Fear tells us to stand up for our rights and look out for ourselves. Fear encourages an aggressive outward life because we are falling apart on the inside. Fear forces us to pretend and cover up our insecurities while fooling us to believing we are in control.
