Relational Holiness – Frank Giles
Relational Holiness
Ephesians 5:21-6:9
The bible reading and subject of today’s sermon is Ephesians 5:21–6:9, emphasizing mutual submission, love, and respectful relationships: wives submitting to husbands as the church submits to Christ, husbands loving wives as Christ loved the church, children obeying parents, and slaves obeying masters. Frank’s clarifies this passage’s context—tying marriage to Christ’s union with the church as a “mystery” of divine unity, not hierarchical control. He stresses this text opposes abusive power dynamics, affirming that the church (including all believers) is the fullness of Christ, not inferior to Him. The focus is on Christ-centered love, not subjugation.
