God and Woman.
Genesis 2:21-22
21.So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept ; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22.The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
God is the Creator. Nothing is created without a purpose. Nothing is created without a design. Therefore, God has a created purpose and design for His creation.
Woman was created by God. Woman was created with a purpose. Woman was created by a specific design. Therefore, woman has a specific purpose and design in Gods creation.
Simple logic and reasoning shows us that the relationship between God and Woman is that of a Creator and His creation. So what is Womans purpose?
We are told the very first purpose for woman was because it was not good for man to be alone (Gen 2:18). Woman was created to be a helper suitable for man. We most often think of this as in a marriage relationship but this created purpose for women applies to the unmarried as well. (Remember, the comparrison of the marriage relationship and the relationship of Christ and the Church. Eph 5) Wife is certainly a created purpose for women, as is mother/nurturer.
But what about the relationship between God and Woman?
If we are helpers to man, mothers and nurturers to children, daughters and sisters, we are all part of the family of God. Joint heirs in His inheritance. Partakers of His Grace and Mercy. Worshipers of His Glory and Majesty.
And more. Much more.
How do YOU define the relatioship between God and Woman?
