How do we know the doctrine of submission is true?

Answered in 9 sources

The truth of the doctrine of submission comes from Scripture, particularly Ephesians 5:22 and 1 Corinthians 11:3, which establish God's order for marriage.

The doctrine of submission is firmly rooted in Scripture, as seen in Ephesians 5:22 and 1 Corinthians 11:3. These passages present a clear indication of the divine order God has established for marriage. This order reflects the relationship within the Trinity, where the Son submits to the Father not out of inferiority, but as part of God's design and love. Therefore, when a wife submits to her husband, it mirrors this heavenly relationship and showcases a model of trust and mutual respect, grounded in a loving commitment.
