God’s Plan for a Wife by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 09/20/11

“A Christian woman’s true freedom lies on the other side of a very small gate—humble obedience—but that gate leads out into a largeness of life undreamed of by the liberators of the world, to a place where the God-given differentiation between the sexes is not obfuscated but celebrated, where our inequalities are seen as essential to the image of God, for it is in male and female, in male as male and female as female, not as two identical and interchangeable halves, that the image is manifested.” – Elisabeth Elliot

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: Did you know that the Bible has a lot to say about the kind of wife God wants you to be?

“Proverbs 31:11—Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.”

Nancy: Can your husband trust you to be morally faithful?

“Proverbs 31:12—She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.”

Nancy: Does your husband know that you’re committed to him no matter what?

“As the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything—Ephesians 5:24.”

Nancy: Are you submissive in your actions, as well as your attitudes?

Developing a portrait of biblical womanhood is a lifelong process. But thankfully, the Word of God has all we need to help us become the women that God created us to be.
