Seven Biblical Truths for Christian Women

Do you realise you were intentionally created in God’s image?

That before you were formed in the womb God had a purpose and plan for your life?

I used to think women were created as an afterthought. But on further reading, I realized that God intended to create us and he did so in his image. Hallelujah!

Here are seven Biblical we need to continually remember:

 

:

1. Treat your body with the respect and honor it deserves.

We can’t give access to people who have no right to our bodies.

As women, we sometimes allow people have access to our bodies and hearts in our search for love, connection, and belonging. For instance, saying yes to sex when you’re not married because of the pressures and our need for love, or staying in toxic and unhealthy relationships.

Our bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit and deserve to be honored and cherished.

“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not you own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.”

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

2. Only God can complete and fulfill us

I feel like a clanging cymbal with this one but this is a ‘truth’ I plan to continue shouting through the rooftops(literally).

It is only God that can satisfy the hunger within us.

Money won’t do it, and neither will a man or the seemingly nice things of this world. These are only temporary measures and will not last, no matter how much we wish them to.

“But whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

John 4:14

“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4:19

3. Being fruitful goes beyond having children.

Don’t listen to the devil’s lies about your role as a woman.

God’s mandate to be fruitful was not just about the fruit of the womb but the work of our hands and the words of our lips. These are fruits that we can use to produce for His kingdom. I pray we believe that God can birth great visions, ministry, and works through us.

“So that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God”

Colossians 1:10

“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”

1 Peter 2:9

 

4. Don’t give another person control over your life or remain a victim.

Here’s the sad truth, many women reading this post have been sexually abused and harassed. We have, at one time or the other, been treated unfairly, intimidated, threatened because of our gender, and made to feel like less than we are.

But here’s the good news; no matter how bad things may have been in the past, God is able to change our story, if we let him.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.“

Jeremiah 29:11

He is able to use pain, suffering, injustice, and discrimination for His glory. I don’t know how but I trust in his word and his plan for every one of us. I have seen this in my life and I know he is going to do so much more with my story.

I pray that he strengthens you for the work ahead, that you are comforted knowing that he wants the best for you and you are ready to let him lead you. ❤️??

“Being confident of this very thing that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”

Philippians 1:6

 

5. Be careful with the sort of company you keep.

 It is better to let go than remain in an unfruitful or destructive relationship.

This could be the difference between life and death (literally and figuratively). I know that as humans, one of our strongest desires is to belong, to be able to connect with others, and to have those that you call your own.

But if not checked, this desire may lead us to compromise, to lose our sense of self and more importantly, to forget God and his principles.

“Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful”

Psalm 1:1

“Do not be misled: “bad company corrupts good character.”

1 Corinthians 15:33

 

6. God will make a way. 

This may require a mindset shift and an intentional choice to be positive and believe that no matter how bad things are, God will make a way of breakthrough.

“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.”

1 Corinthians 10:13

We need to seek to be peacemakers, problem solvers and not complainers or trouble makers.

“Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.”

Psalm 34:14

“Do all things without grumbling or complaining, so that you may become blameless and pure…”

Philippians 2:14-15

7. Love, regardless.

I say this because many times, I see posts focusing on Christians having enemies. I’m not ignorant of the fact that we do have enemies and those who wish us ill.

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”

Ephesians 6:12(NKJV)

However, I believe that when we focus on these people as enemies it may make it harder to love them and to be kind, regardless.

We are enjoined to be like Jesus and focus on blessing those who curse us and praying for those who hate us.

We should also not forget that there are times when we are our own enemies, doing the opposite of the very things we should be doing. Shouldn’t we still love ourselves, regardless?

“But I say to you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you and pray for those who spitefully use you.”

Luke 6:27-28
