How do we know that submission is God's will for believers?

The principle of submission is deeply rooted in the teaching of Scripture. Ephesians 5:22-24 commands wives to submit to their husbands as the church submits to Christ, indicating that submission is part of God's divine order. Additionally, 1 Peter 3:1 urges wives to be in subjection to their husbands, which reflects God’s sovereign plan for familial and communal structure. This pattern points to the nature of Christ and His submission to the Father. Hence, the call to submission in Scripture is not merely cultural but is instituted by God for the wellbeing and orderliness of His creation.
