Biblical submission in the church is a voluntary commitment to line up under authority for a greater purpose, not forced control. Jesus modeled this perfectly by aligning His will with the Father's. Submission is made possible through the Holy Spirit and motivated by reverence for Christ. In practice, submissive church members put others first - giving up seats when needed, asking for others' thoughts before sharing their own, serving without seeking recognition, and listening attentively to all. This Christ-like attitude creates an environment where the church can grow in unity and purpose.
