1 Timothy 2:14,15

"...but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control." (1 Tim 2:14, 15)


Even though parts of this chapter may be repulsive to the female half of the population, history cannot be altered. All we can do is to make the best of what God has given us. Eve, being deceived was condemned with the pains of childbearing which was extended to the whole female population. However, God is mercy and He is love. Even though we make mistakes in our lives, God always gives us the chance to redeem ourselves so long as we seize it. Adam and Eve were granted the same chance, unfortunately, they were too ignorant to acknowledge it. Looking back at their fall, we seek not to make the same mistake. As long as we repent and acknowlege our faults, God will shelter us under His wings and protect us from all harm. I remember talking to a few older women concerning childbearing. They all recalled the painful moment. However, after seeing their babies, it was all worth while and they were willing to go through it all over again. God's punishment is often followed by His blessings as long as we continue in faith, love, holiness, and self-control.
