What is a Biblical Woman? Part 1

by Dale Partridge

When we originally published this episode, it was just days after International Women’s Day. During this day, a flood of various definitions of womanhood were presented to the public. Veronica and I thought it was important to clarify the Bible’s instruction for feminine roles, character, and behavior for women.

In this first episode of a two-part series, (see episode 2 here) we break down four verses that piece together a portion of what it truly means to be a woman.

Scriptures Referenced

  • Matthew 24:35: “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”
  • Numbers 23:19: “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind, Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?”
  • Hebrews 13:8: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
  • 1 Peter‬ ‭3:3-4‬: “Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.”
  • ‭‭Titus‬ ‭2:3-5‬‬‬: “The older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.”

In the second part of this series, we discuss three additional verses on the topics of submission to your husband, modesty, and what it means to be a helper according to Scripture.

Obviously, this topic requires sincere evaluation and prayer. After watching or listening to this episode, what is your opinion? Do you have any questions or comments? Maybe you have something to add to the discussion? If so, let us know in the comments below.
