BIBLICAL WOMANHOOD - OUTDATED?

Rediscovering the Beauty of a God-Filled Woman

Is Biblical womanhood still relevant today? Let’s talk about what God designed you for, dear sister. God designed you for His glory—full stop. That is the essence of your personhood, just as it is for a man.

God has deposited so much greatness in you, waiting to be manifested in this world—songs, books, babies, acts of kindness, inventions, beauty. These delightful expressions of Biblical womanhood are infinite, and each one is meant to magnify His glory.

In these existential musings, there is one TRUTH we cannot ignore: our life is not about us—it’s about God. Keeping our eyes fixed on Him protects us from confusion and overwhelm. If you’re on a journey to understand true Biblical womanhood, begin here: your life is about Him, not yourself.

When God created Eve, He responded to a need: “It is not good for a man to be alone.” From that original moment, we discover key truths about being a woman in God’s design:

1. Intentional Creation — Women were created with purpose; God never acts randomly.

2. Complement, Not Completion — Adam wasn’t incomplete. Eve brought balance, not fulfillment.

3. Formed in Response — Women were introduced to meet a need in God’s world.

Sadly, not everyone accepts these truths. Our culture often elevates feminism and independence from God almost like religion—ideas that stray from the heart of Biblical womanhood. God’s heart must ache, as many of His daughters are adrift.

They are adrift because they don’t know their identity as women in Christ. Adrift because they have not grasped their royal calling or their status as God-given womanhood. Some have minimized godly womanhood as weak or subservient—an unbiblical distortion.

But Biblical womanhood isn’t about gender stereotypes; it’s about knowing who you are in the Lord and why He made you. The Bible appoints us a divine role. We flourish when living as God intended: not subservient, but complementary.

Women have gifts men do not—nurturing hearts, organizational abilities, multi-tasking, bringing life, nurturing. Embracing these won’t make you lesser—they make you fulfilled and clear in your calling.

1 Peter 3:3–4 (NIV) reminds us:

“Your beauty should not come from outward adornment… Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.”
