God Is Not Your Boss

I'm sure you have heard by now a husband being compared to a supervisor and the wife to an employee, or something similar that gives the man authority.

Well, I've got news to you, God isn't your boss. 

For a husband to be a supervisor in a marriage, God would have to be our boss, but if God is our boss, salvation is by works, and not by grace:

Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness (Rom 4:4-5 NIV).

Are we willing to give up grace in order to give husbands authority over their wives? And how about this idea: without free will there is no salvation.  

If the woman was created to obey the man, she has no free will and can therefore not choose salvation. 

Again, if the husband is to his wife what Christ is for the church, the wife must have free will.

Have you not heard the following:

"God respects our free will to such a degree that he will never force us to do anything."

"You have a free will, you can choose God or reject salvation."

"But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded." (Jas 4:6-9, NIV)

We can resist God, or submit to God, we have that choice. Why doesn't a wife?
