1) We are encouraged to pray, making petitions (praying for our own needs) and offering prayer (worship and adoration), and intercession (praying on the behalf of others) and prayers of thanksgiving for all people.
2) We are to pray for those in positions of authority (kings, presidents, senators, congress persons, governors, mayors, bosses, supervisors) over us, so that we can have quiet and peaceful lives; living in a godly and worshipful way.
3) Living in a godly and respectful way pleases God, who is our Savior.
4) God desires that all people would be saved and come to know the truth about salvation.
5) There is only one true and living God.
6) There is only one mediator between God and man (people). The mediator is the man (person) Christ Jesus.
7) He sacrificed Himself and died for all people, to free us all from sin. This message is good news for every generation.
8) We are encouraged to pray everywhere, with our hands lifted in submission to God. We are to put aside all anger and disagreement we have with people before we pray.
9) Women are encouraged to show their beauty; dressing in appropriate clothing for a Christian woman that is modest and respectable.
10) A Christian woman’s beauty is shown in what she does; not by what she wears.
11) A woman that loves God will consider what pleases Him. This is proper.
12) Women are encouraged to learn in silence and submission.
13) Women in the first century church were not allowed to teach or have a position of authority over a man. The reason for this was mainly cultural. The women were expected to be silent.
14) This is the order of creation; Adam was formed first, then Eve.
15) Adam was not misled; however, Eve was misled and sinned.
16) However, the man and the woman will be saved by the birth of the child (Jesus Christ); and by living lives in faith, love and holiness.
