Biblical marriage and abuse: Why sacrificial love isn’t about control (Numbers 5; Hosea 4; Ephesians 5)
Saturday, 31 October, 2026
7 takeaways from this study (https://hallel.info/torah-102-2026/) 1. Put God first, and let that shape your relationships. The Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4–9) calls us to love God through everyday family and community life. 2. Pass on faith daily. Teach God's words through ordinary conversations and actions. 3. Practice loyal love. Chesed means enduring faithfulness, honesty and care, especially during difficulties. 4. Serve, don't control. Ephesians 5 calls for sacrificial love, never domination or mistreatment. 5. Take abuse seriously. Covenant faithfulness never requires enduring abuse. Seek safety and help. 6. Pursue peace wisely. Accept responsibility and seek reconciliation where possible, recognizing that some relationships remain unsafe. 7. Look beyond rituals. Circumcision, Passover and baptism point toward covenant commitments, not substitutes for transformed lives. Faith requires lifelong trust, learning and obedience.
