Yu draws on the Biblical example of Ruth and Naomi as a fitting model for such a relationship. Yu sees Ruth as a model for contemporary Chinese. For him, Ruth's respect for the elderly is highly instructive in a society where more and more people face the problem of how to age with dignity. Sisters in the Lord must care for the elderly with a loving spirit and help to fulfill their physical and mental needs, Yu concludes. The author then turns to the role of women in the church, a role that can vary according to the individual's involvement.
Women can be regular believers, church workers or even form part of the church leadership.
In order to fulfill their most basic role of being a good Christian, Yu writes, women ought to make guidance through the Holy Spirit their golden rule of life. As the Lord's servants within the church, women should not hold back in passive obedience but should develop an attitude of active participation. The ideal church worker, Yu explains, assists fellow believers in establishing a healthy faith, guides them to strive after the truth and, above all, offers help selflessly. As far as women in church leadership is concerned, Yu refers to the story of Deborah in the book of Judges as an illustration of the ideal. Finally, Yu Chao reflects on the role of Christian women in society.
