Equal Standing of Man and Woman - Single Message

If we are to experience gender equality the

way the Word of God describes it, we must be

willing to set aside all stereotypes we have of

males and females. Although men and women

may not be seen as equals in the eyes of the

world, they are in God۪s eyes. The Bible goes to

great lengths to teach us about true submission

not just for women, but for men as well. As

believers, the decision by husbands and wives

to submit one to another is based on the way

Christ submits to God and the church submits

to Christ. The domination we see in the world

actually stunts the personal growth and

development of both the husband and the

wife, which is not God۪s best for the

relationship. True headship does not mean

lording over another person, but rather loving

them as much as ourselves and ensuring that

they grow and develop into their true potential.

This describes the example Jesus set, and it is

the perfect model for today۪s marriages.
