This term is significant in understanding the hierarchical structures and relationships ordained by God, as well as the ultimate submission of all creation to His will. Divine Order and Human Authority In the context of human relationships and societal structures, the Bible frequently addresses the idea of subjection as part of God's ordained order. For instance, in <a href="/romans/13.htm">Romans 13:1</a> , the Apostle Paul writes, "Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God." This passage underscores the belief that earthly authorities are established by God, and thus, individuals are called to submit to them as an act of obedience to God. Similarly, in the family structure, <a href="/ephesians/5-22.htm">Ephesians 5:22-24</a> instructs, "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything." This passage highlights the parallel between the marital relationship and the relationship between Christ and the Church, emphasizing a divinely instituted order. Spiritual Subjection The Bible also speaks of spiritual subjection, particularly in the context of Christ's authority over all spiritual powers. In <a href="/1_peter/3-22.htm">1 Peter 3:22</a> , it is stated, "who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers subjected to Him." This verse affirms the supremacy of Christ over all spiritual entities, indicating that all spiritual beings are under His dominion. Furthermore, the concept of subjection is evident in the eschatological vision of the ultimate submission of all things to Christ. In <a href="/1_corinthians/15-27.htm">1 Corinthians 15:27-28</a> , Paul writes, "For 'God has put everything under His feet.' But when it says that everything has been put under Him, it is clear that this does not include the One who put everything under Him. When all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all." This passage reveals the future reality where Christ's reign will culminate in the complete subjection of all creation, leading to the ultimate glorification of God. Creation and Subjection to Futility The theme of subjection is also present in the context of creation's current state. <a href="/romans/8-20.htm">Romans 8:20-21</a> states, "For the creation was subjected to futility, not by its own will, but because of the One who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God." Here, Paul explains that creation is temporarily subjected to a state of futility and decay as a result of the Fall, yet it holds the hope of future liberation and restoration through Christ. Subjection in the Life of Believers Believers are called to live lives of subjection to God and His commandments. <a href="/james/4-7.htm">James 4:7</a> exhorts, "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." This call to submission is an invitation to align oneself with God's will, resist evil, and experience the protection and guidance that comes from being under God's authority. In summary, the concept of being "subjected" in the Bible encompasses a range of relationships and realities, from human authority structures to spiritual hierarchies, and ultimately to the eschatological hope of all creation being brought under the lordship of Christ.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
