Thou Shalt Put All Things in Subjection

This two-part series explores the powerful scriptural theme of God bringing all things into subjection under the feet of His Son. With a balance of exhortation and practical counsel, these classes challenge us to recognize the ongoing battle against sin and to embrace a spirit of willing submission in every part of life.

Thou Shalt Put All Things in Subjection

The opening address draws from vivid biblical imagery of enemies subdued underfoot, pointing us to the greater spiritual warfare against sin. From Joshua’s conquest to the psalms of David and ultimately to the victory of Christ, we are reminded that God is determined to triumph over iniquity. The exhortation urges us to resist the temptation to relax or sympathize with the flesh, instead taking courage as soldiers of Christ in the ongoing battle of faith.

Practical Examples in Subjection

The second class turns from principle to practice, showing how submission works out in everyday relationships. Whether children to parents, wives to husbands, believers to governing authorities, or brethren to one another, the call is to humility, order, and obedience rooted in love. In contrast to the world’s exaltation of the human spirit and self-reliance, we are reminded that true strength lies in yielding to God’s will, modeling the submission shown by Christ himself.
