The role of women, as presented in this discussion, encompasses a broad spectrum of responsibilities and spiritual significance within the framework of God's plan. Women are portrayed as vital companions and helpers, as seen in the creation of Eve from Adam, designed to complement and complete man as a partner of free will and shared responsibility. Despite Eve's susceptibility to temptation leading to the fall, her inherent traits of love for beauty, food, and knowledge remain admirable and enduring. In societal and historical contexts, figures like Deborah stand out as exceptions to traditional patriarchy, raised by God to lead and shame the men of Israel for their lack of faith, demonstrating that women are capable of leadership with divine support. However, such instances are often depicted as judgments against a disobedient nation rather than a norm. Isaiah's prophecy further illustrates this by associating the rule of women with national shame due to sin, yet it affirms women's potential for leadership under God's guidance. Jesus Christ elevates the dignity of women by engaging with them directly, as seen in His conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, revealing spiritual truths to her and showing respect that transcends societal prejudices. He entrusted women, such as Mary Magdalene, to be the first witnesses of His resurrection, affirming their worth despite cultural dismissal of their testimony. While maintaining a structure of male leadership by appointing only male apostles, Jesus Christ demonstrates profound respect and spiritual equality for women through His actions and teachings. As wives and mothers, women hold a pivotal role in family and society. The Bible contrasts negative traits, such as nagging or unfaithfulness exemplified by figures like Jezebel, with positive examples of godly women like Abigail, Jerusha, and Jedidah, who influence their families and nations through wisdom and righteousness. Mary, the mother of Jesus, exemplifies exceptional strength and competence, nurturing a stable home environment that shaped His teachings and character. Society often devalues the role of stay-at-home mothers, portraying them negatively, while idealizing the modern career woman in a deceptive manner. In contrast, the true calling of a homemaker is likened to that of a corporate executive, requiring skills in time management, decision-making, problem-solving, delegation, and maintaining morale—skills essential for ruling in God's Kingdom. Proverbs 31 celebrates the virtuous woman as a capable and energetic manager of her household, embodying stability, maturity, and productivity. Ultimately, women share equal spiritual potential with men for character development and qualification for God's Kingdom. Both genders are made in God's image, with equal opportunities to live in ways that please Him. In marriage, women are called to submit to their husbands as the church submits to Christ, reflecting a divine order of mutual respect and love. The spiritual imagery of women in Revelation contrasts the whore of Babylon with the Bride of Christ, highlighting the importance of submission to God. Women, like men, are in training for eternal roles in God's Kingdom, where gender distinctions of this physical life will no longer apply, and all will serve together with Christ.

Exploring the God-given role of women throughout history and the Scriptures, this message corrects an unfortunate long-standing misconception of female inferiority. Emily Roebling, who completed the Brooklyn Bridge when her husband fell ill, was denied acknowledgement of her role because of foolish cultural prejudices, reminding us that through the years, far too many women have gone unrecognized for their rightful intellectual and scientific achievements. In Genesis 2, Almighty God asserted that it was "not good" for man to be alone, so He created (Hebrew ay-zer and neh-ghed) a helper "comparable to him." Instead of connoting inferiority, these words (often describing God as our help) emphasize that the woman was created to be a strong, equal, complementary partner—not subservient. Marriage, as a divine covenant, was intended to mirror the intimacy between Christ and the church. Though men were given the role as head of the household, they were not to dominate, but to sacrificially love as Christ loved the Church, caring, listening to, and collaborating with their wives. Proverbs 31 demonstrates the strength, wisdom, and value of a virtuous woman, not only as a homemaker and mother, but also as a shrewd businesswoman and leader, proving indeed that a woman's worth is far above rubies. Consequently, women are equal image-bearers of Almighty God, created to complement, not serve. The biblical term "helper" connotes strength, capability, and partnership, not subordination. Godly marriage requires mutual love, respect, and sacrificial leadership.
