Saved by Childbearing

Dear Brother Arno Froese:Thanks for your letters along with the Midnight Call magazine; since I was a child back in Brazil, I read the Midnight Call’s literature and it is solid food; may the Lord bless you and your team.Several years ago, the mail carrier told my mom the magazine’s name intrigued him quite a bit, which soon led him to go to church. He ended up giving his life to Christ. The Lord’s Word is powerful in so many ways, and His people are being gathered all over the world.I was wondering if you might help to clarify something in the Bible, please: it is verse 15 in 1 Timothy chapter 2, where it says the woman will be saved in childbearing…I am scratching my head about it and do not know what to make of it. I cannot help but think about women that have no children.-A. Trajano, WV


Arno's Answer:


Salvation comes ONLY through Jesus Christ, who said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).

In 1 Timothy 2, it speaks of our position in this world and the church, concluding with the position of the woman. This is emphasized in verse 12, “…nor to usurp authority over the man.” Verse 14 says, “And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” It’s speaking of the position of the woman.

Dr. J. Vernon McGee made a fitting statement, “Don’t ever say that the woman brought sin into the world, unless you are prepared to add that the woman also brought the Savior into the world. My friend, no man provided a Savior; a woman did.” This speaks of women regarding salvation—it comes from the seed of a woman.
