Outstanding Qualities Of Strong Women In Christ

By Donald Cooper


Women were the last of God's creations as recorded in the Bible. The first of them that lived was named Eve. Eve is therefore considered to be the mother of all nations according to Christians. After her were prophet Deborah, Mary Magdalene, Virgin Mary, Ruth and others who are studied today in many Christian groups as strong women in Christ. When studying their lives, women today try to draw their outstanding characters and learn from them.

One thing that is obvious about these women is their godly dressing. A woman who does not dress well is not really a child of Child. To dress well means to cover oneself well and not to seduce the opposite sex. This must be done to avoid adultery for Jesus himself said by looking at a woman lustfully, adultery has already taken place (Matthew 5:28).

Such a woman is also holy in her conducts. Apart from her dressing, her actions also show it. She avoids every activity that will make her feel reduced or estranged from the Holy Spirit. She will never go out with any man who is not her husband not just for the sake of her husband but for the sake of God.

A godly woman is pleased to say the truth at all times. Even though telling some lies may bring some monetary benefits, she would rather decide to remain poor than get involved in cooking the financial records. All her employers soon know her and deprive her of handling sensitive positions such as the office of the treasurer, financial secretary or the president.

She is not troublesome except to the kingdom of darkness for she prays and learns from others more than the way she talks. You will rarely see her in a position to teach except by the leading of the Holy Spirit. In the church, many people like to hear her contributions for they are lessons with practical life applications to help men and young women to be like God.

She is not a hypocrite, being known only outside as a good person and not at home. Instead, her husband continuously gives her praise and he is not ashamed to be identified with her in public. Happy are her children for they shall always rejoice. These strong women are typical examples of what Proverbs 31:10-31 says about virtuous women.

Going to the hospital and prison gives her joy because there, she finds one or two people who are ready and willing to serve God all their life. She encourages them, just like she encourages her servants at home and prepares the meal for them before she departs. She is a bundle of joy to both her husband and children.

Women who are deeply rooted in Christ have the habit of having a quiet time. Before the general devotion at home, she wakes up to study the Bible and thank God for life. Simply by emulating her, another Christian can grow. She remains relevant like a light that is placed on the mountain.
