The New Wife

Many of us have become convicted about the importance of pursuing our callings as godly wives and mothers later in our lives.

Praise the Lord that he is drawing us to himself!

A woman's identity as a wife and as a mother is important to God. Both are mentioned specifically throughout the Old and New Testaments.

Our ultimate identity though is in Christ even as God created us with the earthly identity of being female, made in his image.

It is through Christ and Christ alone that we will be able to assume a new identity that will be pleasing in the sight of our father through the righteousness of Him who died on the cross for us and is seated at the right hand of the father interceding for us.

"And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." (Ephesians 4:24)

The Book of Ephesians has a lot to tell us about getting rid of the old man and putting on the new. I will be featuring a series of posts with prayerful responses to help to guide us to become a "New Wife" in Christ.

I am excited to see the work that the Lord will do in me and my marriage through my prayers. How grateful I am for the privilege of prayer!
