“A man may be sensible of his condition and sincerely desire mercy, and yet not be able to come to God by Christ. The man that comes to God by Christ must first have the knowledge of Him: “For he that cometh to God must believe that He is” (Heb 11:6). So he that comes to God through Christ must be enables to know Christ. “I pray thee,” says Moses, “show me now thy ways, that I may know thee” (Exo 33:13). This Christ, none but the Father can reveal (Mat 11:27). And to come through Christ is for the sinner to be enables of God to hide himself under a thing for safeguard (Mat 16:16).”

“The husband is the head of the wife and the head of the family. That is God’s ordinance, and Paul compares it with the relationship of Christ to the Church. So the wife is exhorted to submit herself because the husband is her head. A Christian man should know how to honor his wife, as the Apostle proceeds to tell us. He does tyrannize over his wife. He gives her her place, he pays her respect. That is the ideal, and the true, and the Christian relationship; but it is never at the expense of what is laid down so plainly in the Old Testament, and in the New, that the husband is the head of the wife.”

-David Martyn Lloyd-Jones  Welsh Minister  1899-1981
