    arm to be protected, and near his heart to be
    beloved. Matthew Henrys Commentary

    standing before God in Christ, but still live
    with the effects of the Fall. Those effects are
    temporary.

    male nor female, for you are all one in Christ
    Jesus. Galatians 128

A Godly Woman Trusts Humbly
  • Rather than trusting God, Eve chose Satans path
    of rebellion and pride
  • Jesus humbly trusted His Father
  • Who, being in very nature God, did not consider
    equality with God something to be grasped, but
    made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a
    servant, being made in human likeness.
    Philippians 26-7

A Godly Woman Submits Courageously
  • Eve chose to covet Gods place rather than accept
    the role He had given her as co-image bearer and
    helper
  • Jesus submitted to His Father by accepting His
    role as our Savior
  • And being found in appearance as a man, he
    humbled himself and became obedient to deatheven
    death on a cross! Philippians 28

A Godly Woman Expects theGreater Reward, Gods
Reward
  • Eve grasped at instant gratification of her
    desire to be like God
  • Jesus accepted the Fathers timing...Therefore
    God exalted him to the highest place and gave him
    the name that is above every name, that at the
    name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven
    and on earth and under the earth, and every
    tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
    glory of God the Father. Philippians
    29-11

Practical Matters Wise Choices
  • Satan still promises shortcuts to fulfillment of
    God-given needs and desires. His lies still lead
    to death.
  • Womens affection and intimacy needs reflect
    Gods desire for our worship
  • God provides marriage to meet those needs
  • Satan says, Dont be ridiculous. Marriage is
    out of date. Hookups, affairs, and same-sex
    relationships are much easier and lots more
    fun.
  • The relational carnage around us reveals the
    results of accepting Satans lies
  • Choose wisely!

Practical Matters Humble Trust
  • God says to women, Your beauty should not come
    from outward adornment...Instead, it should be
    that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a
    gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth
    in God's sight. I Peter 33-4
  • Satan says, If you want a mans attention, show
    some skinthe more the better.
  • Sexual desire is a powerful force in men and may
    be easily aroused. Be modest. Trust God to bring
    you the right man in His time.
  • Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful
    woman who shows no discretion. Proverbs 1122

Practical Matters Courageous Submission
  • In submission to the Father, Jesus willingly
    endured the cross for our sake
  • Love involves suffering
  • Marriage in sickness and health till death
    parts us
  • Pregnancy and childbirth
  • Singleness
  • God never forces us to submit. Forced submission
    is abuse.

Practical Matters Expect Gods Reward
  • A godly woman endures in hope, passing the torch
    to the next generation
  • Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and
    perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set
    before him endured the cross, scorning its shame,
    and sat down at the right hand of the throne of
    God. Consider him who endured such opposition
    from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary
    and lose heart. Hebrews 122-3
