Bible Question: What are the roles women play in the christian church and whatr are their titles if any? Give scripture

Bible Answer: Dear Tine,

Welcome to the forum!

Women have a difficult and important job to do in the church. Marriage is a picture to the world of Christ and his bride (Ephesians 5). Woman must make a concerted effort to be in concert with how this picture is modeled to the world. Consequently, we have passages like Titus 3:3-5. Read that passage and see the various attributes that believing women are to have. Notice that the older women are to instruct the younger women in these virtues, and that the younger women are to be responsible pupils to the older women. Most of all, note that a failure by women in these areas brings about the dishonoring of God Himself.

There are other passages that speak to what women should do and be. What a blessing that they are spelled out so clearly! See for example Proberbs 31 and 1 Corinthians 7. God is not just clear what His commands are, but He also grants grace -- amazing grace! -- for a woman to walk out His design for their lives.

In Him, Doc
