God’s Design For Men and Women

God’s original design for men and women has been tainted by sin. Men sinfully neglect or hatefully abuse their authority, and women sinfully usurp that authority or disrespect their husbands. Men and women’s only hope to live as God intended is for them to repent from their sin and have faith in Christ alone.
