Summary
The sermon emphasizes that the Christian life, particularly in home and work relationships, must reflect the standard of Christ's love. It argues that loving others as Christ loved the Church is impossible by human effort alone, requiring the power of the Holy Spirit. To allow this divine love to flow, one must actively deny the self and remove personal stubbornness, which is identified as the primary hindrance.

Walking as Jesus walked in our relationshipsBelievers are called to walk as Jesus walked, which primarily means living out the Christian life in our homes and workplaces where we spend 90% of our lives.1 John 2:6
A new commandment to love as Christ lovedJesus gave a new commandment to love one another as He loved us, creating a special bond within the family of God that goes beyond general neighborly love.
An impossible standard requiring the Holy SpiritLoving others as Christ loved is not just difficult, it is impossible for human effort and can only be done when we are filled with God's Holy Spirit.
Loving your wife as Christ loved the churchThe standard for husbands is to love their wives as Christ loved the church, which requires dying to self and letting the Holy Spirit work through us.
Jesus corrects the Pharisees on marriage and divorceWhen tested on divorce, Jesus pointed back to creation to show that God's original will is lifelong union between one man and one wife, explaining that Moses only permitted divorce due to hard hearts.
The higher standard of the New TestamentIn the New Testament, divorce is not permitted except in the case of immorality, raising marriage to a much higher and sacred level than in the Old Testament.
Removing the heart of stone for a heart of fleshThe new covenant promise in Ezekiel is that God removes our stony, hard heart and gives us a soft heart of flesh through the coming of the Holy Spirit.Ezekiel 36:26
Being filled with the Spirit versus just speaking in tonguesHaving a soft, tender heart toward your spouse is the true mark of being filled with the Holy Spirit, which is completely different from merely speaking in tongues.
The secret to home and workplace relationshipsBeing continually filled with the Holy Spirit as commanded in Ephesians is the secret to godly relationships with wives, children, and masters or servants.Ephesians 5:18
