Do you desire to display the traits of a godly woman? To live faithfully rooted in Christ? You may wonder, what does it mean to be rooted in Christ? Or, what are the traits of a godly woman according to Scripture? 

What Does it Mean to Be Rooted in God’s Word?

A woman rooted in Christ is actively growing her relationship with the Lord and the Bible’s wisdom shapes every aspect of her life. By focusing on biblical truth, she learns how to direct her heart, mind, and actions.

In this article, we’ll examine 11 Bible verses to build our traits around. Our verses are broken down into three categories: with the Lord, with her family, and with others.
