This gives Eve hope: childbearing will be painful, but the womb will be an instrumental tool moving God’s plan of redemption forward. It is a primary weapon in the war between the seed of the Serpent and the seed of Promise.
Momma Theologians Practical Takeaways
How does tracing childbearing through Scripture give you hope and comfort in your suffering as a mother, be that miscarriage, infertility, postpartum depression, or wayward children?
How does Scripture’s view of childbearing align with your motives for having children and thoughts on family size? Be sure to consider both the creation order and the Great Commission.
While you should not feel that motherhood is taking you away from “ministry,” or that you need to do more than stay at home and disciple your children alongside your husband, the priority of spiritual fruitfulness should pull you towards discipling your children and involvement in the body of Christ. How does this challenge or encourage you?
