Equal Value, Different Roles

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit teach us something important about the differences between men and women.

Each member of the Trinity is co-equal, yet the members of the Trinity have different roles and functions. For example, when He was on the earth, Jesus often said things like “The Son of Man can do nothing of His own accord, but only what He sees the Father doing.” Jesus embraced His role, obeying the Father, without His value as God being lessened.

The same is true in the relationship between men and women. Each has equal value, yet each is called to embrace their unique God-given role. The distinctions between male and female roles in the home and in the church are noble because they reflect the beauty of God’s purpose and order.

Do you want to be like Jesus? Accept with joy the role you’ve been designed to fill.
