As we continue to think about the fall of men and women into sin, we truly come to the best part – our redemption through the Lord Jesus Christ. We were desperate without hope, left with only a sinful nature that resisted God’s perfect plan for our role as a woman. But then God stepped in.

The eternal Son of God took on human nature as a man. He was born of a woman – He is the promised offspring of Eve. Scripture presents Christ as the second Adam, the perfect man. As Colossians 1:15 says, “He is the image of God” in the deepest, fullest sense. He offered his life as a sacrifice, rose from the grave, and calls men and women alike to repent and believe in him. So, now that Christ has redeemed us from the curse, what does the New Testament teach us about living as men and women?

Men and women both need a Savior!
Galatians 3:28 says, “There is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” In other words, neither gender is more spiritually worthy; both men and women are heirs of redemption, part of the body of Christ, and filled with the Holy Spirit. 

Some have taken this and said that there is no legitimate distinction, in God’s kingdom, between male and female. But just because our sex has no role to play in our salvation doesn’t mean that we somehow become genderless beings,
