What Does the Bible Say About Submission?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on submission
Bībele runā par paklausību daudzās vietās. Tā māca, ka kristiešiem vajadzētu būt paklausīgiem Dievam un viens otram, attiecībās, darbā un citās dzīves jomās. Paklausība ir saistīta ar cieņu, pazemību un mīlestību. Kristus ir paraugs paklausībā, jo viņš pakļāvās Dieva gribai pat līdz nāvei krustā, lai glābtu cilvēci no grēkiem.
