How do we know that submission is a true Christian principle?

Answered in 1 source

Submission is a foundational Christian principle as it reflects Christ's own example and is commanded in Scripture.

The principle of submission is deeply rooted in the character of Christ and is articulated throughout the New Testament. In Philippians 2:5-8, we see how Christ, being in the form of God, did not cling to His rights but submitted Himself to the will of the Father, even unto death on the cross. This example sets the standard for Christian behavior; we are called to follow His lead. Moreover, the repeated commands in Scripture to submit to one another, as found in Ephesians 5:21 and 1 Peter 5:5, reinforce that submission is not merely a suggestion but a vital aspect of our Christian witness and community life. In practicing voluntary submission, we reflect the humility of Christ and the unity of the Spirit.
