True Womanhood for the Glory of Christ

I commend to you this truth: The ultimate purpose of God in history is
the display of the glory of his Son in dying for his bride. God has
created man as male and female because there are aspects of Christ’s
glory which would not be known if they were not reflected in the
complementary differences of manhood and womanhood. Therefore, true
womanhood is a distinctive calling of God to display the glory of his
Son in ways that would not be displayed if there were no womanhood.

Married womanhood has its unique potential for magnifying Christ
that single womanhood does not have. Single womanhood has its unique
potential for magnifying Christ which married womanhood does not have.

So whether you marry or remain single, do not settle for a wimpy
theology. It is beneath you. God is too great. Christ is too glorious.
True womanhood is too strategic. Don’t waste it. Your womanhood—your
true womanhood—was made for the glory of Jesus Christ.
