Roles ordained by God for men and for women, as shown us by Bible

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

The Bible teaches us so much about God's plan concerning men and women and the way God created men and women.  The world tries to make everything the same, same opportunities, even same roles.  

It is difficult to enter into our assignment from God and to understand the way God created us unless we view some scriptures on this subject.

God ordained the following:

 

Genesis 2:7-8   And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there HE put the man whom HE had formed.

 

18  And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

 

21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and HE (God) took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made HE a woman, and brought her unto the man.

 

***

 

God created the woman to be an helper to the man.

 

Some women will not marry.  Some women will be assigned other roles by God.  

 

But most women will marry and when they do marry, God has created them especially for that man to be his help meet.

 

***

 

Eve was deceived by Satan and after the transgression, God put the following assignment on the man and the woman and there was a difference in the role of the man and the woman.

 

For the man:

 

Genesis 3

17 -19 And unto Adam HE (God) said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;  Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;  In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

 

For the woman:

 

Genesis 3

 

16 Unto the woman HE (God) said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

(Already we see that God has created the woman for the man so she would be a help meet to the man.)

 

***

 

So we go forth perfectly created and joined by God.

 

But men and women change the creation in their own wisdom and things fall apart.

 

As long as we accept our assignments, God blesses us in that to which HE has assigned to us. 

 

And as long as we do what God wants us to do we are blessed and we bless others by our lives, whether we marry or whether we are single.

 

God said to Isaac:  Genesis 26:3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee;
