When God created woman, it came on the heels of God saying, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.”

God created the woman to be man’s helper in creating a replica of the kingdom of Heaven here on earth.

God created man and the woman to work in perfect harmony in their roles in this purpose.

God created man for His sake and the woman for man’s sake. Man is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of man.

God assigned to man the responsibility of representing God as the head over creation. God assigned the woman the role of demonstrating the submission of humanity to man. 1 Cor. 11: 3-8

The fall of Adam led humanity to rebel against God’s will and order of things. Humanity now seeks to operate independently of God in living his life, Gen.3:16.

Humanity now has the opportunity to restore its relationship with God because God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them. 2 Cor. 5: 16-19

Therefore, God sent Jesus the second Adam to put things back in order. Jesus, through His death, burial and resurrection, became to the Church what Adam was to humanity. 1 Cor. 15:45

Fundamentally, we must understand that the Church, God’s showplace, is intended by God to be a replica of the kingdom of Heaven.

The foundation truth behind the role of women in the Church, then, is to represent humanity’s submission to man as the head of humankind, since all humanity comes from the man. Gen. 2: 21-23

Through the Church, Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. 1 Cor. 11: 3-8:
