Summary
The core message emphasizes that true love for the Lord is demonstrated through submission to God's appointed authority. The speaker argues that the first sin in Eden was a failure of submission, and this principle applies universally, from angels to husbands and wives. Ultimately, following Jesus' life, submission to the Father's will, even unto death, is the ultimate proof of devotion to Christ.

What was the first sin in the Garden of Eden?Eating from the tree of knowledge was actually the second sin; the first was Eve's failure to submit to and consult her husband Adam who was standing right beside her.
Lack of submission to authorityThe first sin in the universe happened when the highest angel refused to submit to God, and the first sin in humanity happened when Eve failed to submit to the authority placed over her.
Showing love for Christ through submissionOur love for Christ is proven by obedience to His commands, and wives show their love for the Lord by submitting to their husbands.
The chain of headship explainedJust as in a military hierarchy, Christ is the head of every man, and man is the head of woman, meaning every person has an authority to submit to.1 Corinthians 11:3
Jesus' description of His life on earthJesus summarized His mission not merely as dying for the world, but as coming to do the will of the Father who sent Him.John 6:38
Submission in everyday lifeDying on the cross was one specific item in Jesus' life of submission, which began early on by submitting to His earthly parents Joseph and Mary.
Proving our love for the LordChildren prove their love by obeying parents, wives by submitting to husbands, and husbands by submitting to elders and ultimately to Christ.
The enduring principle of submissionTo counter the lack of submission that caused Satan's fall and Eve's sin, Jesus lived a life of constant submission, which remains the true proof of our love for the Lord.
