Women are to be moderate in their habits and faithful in all things (1 Tim. 3:11).

Isn't it amazing how quickly a child grows into an adult? It seems to happen automatically. However, spiritual growth isn't automatic. (1 Cor. 13:11; Heb. 6:1) To become mature Christians, we need to cultivate a close friendship with Jehovah. We also need his holy spirit to help us develop good qualities, learn practical skills, and prepare for future responsibilities. (Prov. 1:5)

Jehovah made human beings; he created male and female (Gen. 1:27). Obviously, men and women are different physically, but they are also different in other ways. For example, Jehovah assigned different roles to men and women, and to fulfill them, each needs different qualities and abilities (Gen. 2:18).

Where can young sisters find good examples to look up to?

The Bible highlights the fine example of many women who served Jehovah and loved him (see the JW.org article “What Can We Learn from the Women of the Bible?”). As the topic text says, they were “moderate in their habits and faithful in all things.” Furthermore, there are undoubtedly many spiritually mature sisters in your congregation from whom you can learn a great deal.

If you're a young sister, think of some sisters who are good examples for you and set a goal to imitate them. To do this, notice their good qualities and then think about how you could cultivate them too. In the following paragraphs, we'll discuss three qualities that all mature Christians should possess.

Why should mature Christian women be humble?

Humility. A humble woman enjoys a good friendship with Jehovah and gets along well with others. (James 4:6) For example, because she is humble and loves her heavenly Father, she chooses to support the principle of authority He created to determine who should lead the congregation and the family. (1 Cor. 11:3)

How can young sisters imitate Rebekah's humility?

Let's talk about Rebekah. She was an intelligent and determined woman who knew when and how to act (Gen. 24:58; 27:5-17). But she was also respectful and obedient (Gen. 24:17, 18, 65). If you, like Rebekah, are humble and respect the principle of authority, you will be a positive influence on your family and the congregation.
