What is a woman?

Abegail Dodds, speaking at the Godward Life Conference at Bethlehem College and Seminary, spoke on the topic: She Shall be called Woman.  This is a message full of grace, non-abrasive, Biblically informed, doctrinally sound, and Christ-centered.  It is a breath of fresh air in a culture that is so confused by gender issues.   The YouTube link is here:

So, what is a woman?  Only God can define a woman.  This is where we must start.  To start elsewhere leads to disaster.  “We don’t define womanhood because we didn’t make it, God did; but we do embody it either willingly or in rebellion . . ..”


Dodds definition that emerges from Genesis 2 and 1 Corinthians 11.


“A woman is a human made by God in His image from man to be his helper and glory by subduing and filling the Earth with God’s glory, primarily through Godly offspring.”


“That’s what she is. It’s not mainly describing what she does, but who she is.”


So when you are asked, “What is a woman?”, what will your answer be?
