THE GODLY WOMAN: A HEART SET APART FOR GOD

INTRODUCTION

In a world that redefines womanhood by culture, fashion, and emotion, the Bible—rightly divided—defines godliness by heart devotion, Christ-centered identity, and spiritual purpose.

A godly woman is not merely religious outwardly, but rooted inwardly in Christ, walking in grace, truth, and love (2 Timothy 2:15).

Today we will examine 9 MARKS OF
A GODLY WOMAN, grounded in Scripture and understood in the Dispensation of Grace revealed through the Apostle Paul.
