What You Need to Know About Women in the Bible and How It Applies Today

As we get ready to celebrate Mother's Day, learn what the Bible has to say about the role of women versus what society promotes.

The Authority that Determines the Role of Women

• The foundation of all truth as it relates to women (as well as men and children) is the Holy Spirit-inspired word of God which says "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart" (in Hebrews 4:12 NASB).

• All scripture is God-breathed. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (ESV), "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work."

• Women Made in the Image of God (Genesis 1:26-27)

• Women as Interdependent with Men, Dependent on God (1 Corinthians 11:12)

• Women Declared as Very Good (Genesis 1:31)

• Women, Like Men and Children, Under the Curse of Sin (Genesis 3:6)

• Women in Leadership (Judges 4:6-9)

• Women as Rulers (1 Kings 10:1-7)

• Why Self-Help Books Don't Really Help. Self-help books don't work for any extended period of time because self-help books TELL someone WHAT to do but do not GIVE someone the POWER to change. To access Holy Spirit power, we must accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. Learn more by clicking here.

• If You or Someone You Know Is Not a Christian
  • If you feel a stirring or prompting in your heart that you have not felt before or maybe have ignored before, it could be God asking you to accept his Son as your Lord and Savior. If you reject the prompting of the Holy Spirit, you remove yourself from the only force (the power of the Holy Spirit) that can lead you to repentance and restoration to God.
  • Because there is no second chance to accept Christ if you die before you accept Him, invite Him into your heart now, proclaim Him your Lord and Savior, and ask forgiveness of your sins. It's the most significant decision that you can make about where you are going to spend eternity.
