Thank you, Buff, but the question is about the value of unmarried women, not women who live with men or are married to them.
What value do they have in the eyes of God?
I'd guess an unmarried woman has the value of someone with an eternal soul. Unmarried woman are born with souls that last forever... making them infinitely valuable?
Also, God can use that unmarried woman to reach other souls. An unmarried has more time to serve God, while married women are more busy with their families. This is one way God can use her.
Maybe even being unmarried can help them serve God better. They can relate more to other unmarried women. They witness better to other unmarried woman, maybe.
Remember Paul said that he wished everyone can be like him... unmarried, and if I remember a sermon correctly it was because unmarried people would be able to devout themselves better in serving God. You have more time to fight the good fight. I imagine in God's eyes that's very valuable, eternally valuable.
1 Corinthians 7:7-9
[SUP]7 [/SUP]For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they remain even as I am; [SUP]9 [/SUP]but if they cannot exercise self-control, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn
with passion.
Unmarried women are precious. God was willing to die for them. So, they definitely have value in God's eyes.
