It is interesting that presently if someone should make a surprise visit to any church, whether it is in the United States or other parts of the world; they would discover in some cases that women outnumber men approximately 3-1.
What is responsible for this difference? Is it that there are more women in the world or is it that women love God more than men? The answer to this we may not know, but one thing we do know the same gospel is preached to both men and women.
The involvement of women in the church with such a ratio, has made an outstanding contribution to the spreading of the gospel. As they have borne witness to the life changing effects of the Lord Jesus.
So, at the end, will there be more women than men in the kingdom? There are two passages of scriptures that will guide us to the answer. Galatians 3:26-29 “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
For as many of you has have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ.
There is neither Jew or Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for Ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
And if ye be Christ’s, then ye are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise”.
(We just read that there will not be any male nor female in the kingdom, therefore what will be our status in the kingdom?
In Mark chapter 12 Jesus answered a question posed by the Sadducees with regards to a woman who was married seven (7) brothers and they all died. This is how Jesus answered the question V 24-25 “And Jesus answered and said unto them, do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor or given in marriage: but are as the Angels which are in heaven”.
Now we know what our status will be in the resurrection. It is clearly stated that procreation will not be necessary in the resurrection therefore marriage and male and female will not exist according to the scripture.
To answer the question therefore, there will be no difference between male and female. This will be a part of the new world order, what a glory that will be?
