Women are Sinners

But we're afraid to acknowledge the deep level sin that women deal with.

00:08

We're afraid to address a woman's complaining. We're afraid to address a woman's anxiety.

00:19

Friends, we have created anxiety, and this is not popular. We've created anxiety today as a medical condition.

00:28

Research it. We're afraid to address a woman's contentiousness or jealousy or idolatry.

00:37

And so we say, oh, dear sister, what you need is medicine. What you need is just some mommy wine time.

00:44

What you need is therapy. It's your husband's fault. It's your kid's fault. It's your parents' fault.

00:50

Someone hurt you in the past. It's their fault. It's society's fault. It's Hollywood's fault.

00:56

It's evangelicalism's fault. And so we dance around the issue because we don't wanna be seen as mean or insensitive by telling women that they sin.

01:05

They really and seriously and truly sin. But listen, church, here's the point I'm making. If we look at women as something other than sinners, we rob them of the gospel because the gospel is only for sinners.

01:22

It is only for the vile and depraved and broken moms and wives and sisters and aunts and grandmothers.

01:31

You need the gospel desperately. And if we withhold the truth of a woman's sin, then we withhold the hope of the gospel because the gospel comes in and says this, you're wretched and undone.

01:45

Inherently, that is deep down inside is not something beautiful, but something wicked and rebellious.

01:51

This is what the gospel comes in and says. And so if you say to a woman, no, no, no, no, you're not wretched, you're not undone, you're deep down, you're beautiful and we just need to shine your face and then

02:01

I don't let that beauty come out, then you withhold the gospel. The gospel is not for beautiful people.

02:09

The gospel is for ugly people and sinners. And God has made a way for these ugly, sinful people to be made new.

02:24

Your value then, listen ladies, your value is not ultimately in your woman or in your children or in a career or in your relationship to your husband.

02:40

Your ultimate identity as a Christian woman is wrapped up in Christ.

02:46

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church, his body and is himself its savior.

02:57

Christ is your savior. Christ is the savior of the church, which includes men and women.

03:04

Women sin, sometimes marital problems are the fault of the man, no doubt. And sometimes they're the fault of the woman more.

03:14

I mean, it's always both fault. But sometimes it's more the man, sometimes it's more the women.

03:21

Women sin sexually, women sin in gossip or contentiousness or pride or envy or lying.

03:26

I could go for a thousand sins here. But my point here is this, you ladies, just like a man, need the gospel.

03:34

The gospel is not men are dumb, your husbands are dumb, and if they just valued you more, you would flourish.

03:40

That's not the gospel. The gospel is not girl, wash your face or mommy, you rock.

03:46

The gospel is you are a sinner in need of a savior. Christ alone is that savior.

03:52

Christ bled for your sins, bearing the wrath of God, do you? These sins I've mentioned and more are deserving of God's judgment and hell and the lake of fire.

04:02

And yet on the cross, Christ was treated as you, like a sinful woman and a sinful man, as he perfectly represented his people on Calvary before God.

04:13

And then he rose again from the grave and is ruling and reigning now so that all those who repent of their sins and believe the gospel will be saved.

04:24

Wives, sisters, ladies, you need atonement for your sins. And that atonement is only found in the finished work of Christ.

04:33

It's not in your motherhood or even your womanhood. Go to Christ, repent of sin, repent of any unbiblical views of womanhood this morning.

04:42

Exactly what every woman needs. This is the beauty. Christ is the savior of the church.

04:50

Exactly what every woman needs has been sufficiently provided for in the atoning sacrifice and resurrection of our

04:58

Lord. And who you need to behold is not yourself, but Christ.

05:05

He is the savior of the church. Are you resting in him today? Step out of the mommy wars.

05:12

Turn away from the vain comparisons. Quit trying Facebook hacks for self -esteem.
