Without women in our lives, the world would be a very different place. Jesus was born of a strong woman, and even at the dawn of humanity, God placed a woman on the Earth to accompany man. Numerous Bible scriptures on women demonstrate their resilience repeatedly at times of adversity, life’s most scary moments, and even in pleasant times.
God created women in his image for a specific reason, and the Bible reminds us of this reality daily via specific scriptures and tales passed down about great women such as Mary, Rachel, Rebecca, and Ruth. These leaders, moms, and faith-filled forces served as spiritual mentors throughout their lives and continue to serve as inspirations for modern women. Consider these biblical texts and historical people the next time you want to be reminded of how much a woman is capable of doing – even more so with the strength of her faith behind her.
All of this demonstrates that God values women highly. To demonstrate this, the following 17 Bible verses for women to read:
