WOMEN IN THE LIGHT OF THE BIBLE

13 May 2001
THE CREATION STATUS:
       The equality of men and women: Genesis 1:26-27
        The relationship: Genesis 2:18-25

THE FALL
       The curse upon the woman - Genesis 3:16
        The curse upon the man - Genesis 3:17-19

Despite that God set the man in leadership, it was the woman who in time would be the instrument to bring the Messiah to the earth. Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 7:14; Luke 1:26-35

What is the biblical standard for a woman: Proverbs 31:10-31

JESUS AND WOMEN
       His relationship with Martha and Mary, Luke 10:38-42; John 11:1-5; 18-44
        His tenderness toward women - John 20:11-18; Mark 16:1-10
        Jesus and his disciples were served by women - Luke 8:1-3
        How he cared for his mother - John 19:25-27

WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN WOMEN
        Tenderness - John 12:1-8
        They were included on the day of Pentecost - Acts 1:12-14

THE CURSE IS BROKEN - Galatians 3:13-14

When you meet a woman who is angry, bitter and hard to get along with, rest assured that she did not have a father who loved her, cared for her, encouraged her, supported her and shielded her from evil.

Only Jesus can heal and restore such a woman - Matthew 11:28-30

A man that will deprive his wife of tenderness, love and compassion will create a woman that will not know what love is, insecure and full of fear.

The Bible has given us a blue print how men shall treat their wives, which will set an example that will last from generation to generation: Ephesians 5:15-33

Do you have an ear with which to hear ???
