Strangers in a Strange Land: “Christlike Marriages” 1 Pet 3:1-7

• Christianity was revolutionary for the life of both slaves & women: Gal 3:28

Two Keys to Christlike Marriages:

1. Submission: Moral Purity & Reverence toward God

• The purpose is always evangelistic: 1 Cor 9:22
• Paul’s is evangelistic: 1 Cor 7:13-16
• We come to Christ through the Word: 1 Pet 1:23
• Live out the Word: Mt. 5:16
• Moral purity springs from reverence toward God: Eph 5:22
• Submission to God comes before submission to others: Acts 5:29
• God should be the center of attraction: 1 Tim 2:9
• The outward fades; the inward is eternal: 2 Cor 4:16
• Meekness is coupled with calm or peace, because we have already been promised the world: Mt. 5:5
• They are to continue to be fearless: Proverbs 3:25-27

2. Respect

• Paul starts with mutual submission: Eph 5:21

Three ways to show Respect:

1) Understanding

2) Chivalry All humans are vessels: 2 Cor 4:7

3) Spiritual Equality: Fellow heirs: Gal 3:28
