What does it mean to be a Woman of God? | GotQuestions.org

The Identity of a Woman of God in Christ

Today's question is, what does it mean to be a woman of God? In this video I'll answer that question from a biblical perspective. Then afterwards, as always, I'll share some helpful resources, so stick around until the end.

A woman of God is first and foremost a daughter of God. Becoming a child of God happens through a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. When we trust in Jesus for salvation, we become new creation 2 Corinthians 5, verse 17.

Knowing God Through Scripture, Prayer, and Fellowship

What does this look like practically? A woman of God will seek to know God more through reading His Word, communicating with Him in prayer, fellowshipping with other believers, and listening to sound teaching.

She knows that all Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work 2 Timothy 3, verses 16 -17.

So, she seeks to know what God's Word says. She does her best to present herself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the Word of truth 2 Timothy 2, verse 15.

She also heeds James' warning. Do not merely listen to the Word and so deceive yourselves, do what it says. James 1, verse 22. Part of doing what the Word says is having an active prayer life. Paul instructs us, Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4, verses 6 -7. Similarly, 1 Thessalonians 5, verses 16 -18 says, Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances.

For this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. A woman of God approaches God with a grateful heart and casts her worries on God. 1 Peter 5, verse 7. She trusts in God's ability and His love, and so she brings her worship and her concerns to His throne.

Hebrews 4, verses 14 -16. A woman of God obeys God's commands to love others well. Her speech is edifying and encouraging to others, not slanderous or filled with gossip or ill intent. Ephesians 4, verse 29 and 1 Peter 2, verses 1 -3.

She is kind, compassionate, and forgiving. Ephesians 4, verse 32. She helps to bear the burdens of other believers. Galatians 6, verse 2. As she has opportunity, she tries to do good to all, especially those also in the family.

Of God.

Galatians 6, verse 10. She is not conceited but lives with a spirit of humility. Romans 12, verse 16. She does not grumble or needlessly argue or cause dissension, but rather tries to live in harmony with others.

Philippians 2, verse 14. A woman of God eagerly does the work God has given her. Romans 12, verse 11. If she is an older woman, she lives as an example to younger women. Titus 2, verses 3 -5. She spends time with other believers, encouraging them and being encouraged by them.

Hebrews 10, verses 24 -25. She is submissive, meaning she takes a you-before-me posture as all Christians are called to. Ephesians 5, verse 21. She heeds Peter's command to submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human authority.

For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish.

People.

Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil. Live as God's slaves, show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor. 1 Peter 2, verses 13 -17.

She knows that she is highly valued in Christ. Galatians 3, verse 28. And chooses to imitate Him by laying down her own self-will. If she is married, she allows her husband to lead the family. Ephesians 5, verses 21 -33.

She honors her parents. Ephesians 6, verses 1 -3. And if she has children, she cares for them. She manages her home well and according to godly principles. Titus 2, verses 3 -5. A woman of God's beauty is of her inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit which is of great worth in God's sight.

1 Peter 3, verses 3 -4. Ultimately, the woman of God is a work in progress, a masterpiece of God's, saved by His grace through faith and becoming more like Jesus as she seeks to know Him and obey.

Him.
