Proverbs: The Image of God
Proverbs takes Creation seriously. particularly the creation of man and woman. Before we can look at how Proverbs addresses men and women differently, we need a Biblical framework for the similarities and differences in men and women. Male chauvinism and radical feminism both demean the image of God in men and women. Scripture brings together the unity of the sexes as equal image bearers while affirming and celebrating the fact that God made them differently.

Valuing Humanity
The culmination of God's creative activity is the creation of humanity in his own image. We reflect what God is like all the way down to the level of our gender. The question we have to wrestle with is, "Does God love me because of what I do or does God love me just because I'm me?" The answer that emerges in the Scriptures beginning in Genesis is that God loves us because he created us, end of story.
