The 8 Most Important Women of the Bible

From great military heroes to prophets, there are many important figures in the Bible who are recognized for their strength and character. While many think of men first when it comes to these strong figures, there are also a number of important women in the Bible who inspire, not only because of how they lived but also because of their rock-solid faith, even in some of the toughest of circumstances. Unfortunately, too often, women’s stories have taken second place to the interests and needs of male Biblical writers and males leaders in Christian churches, but this didn’t mean their stories weren’t important, especially in the eyes of God. By definition, a strong woman is fearless when it comes to facing hard situations. They are confident in who they are and what they believe, and in their example of fearlessness, they encourage others to be courageous and make a difference. Here are the eight most important women in the Bible and what we can learn from them.
