Question:
What does it mean by women being saved through childbearing in 1 Timothy 2:15?
Answer:
This is not the salvation of the soul, but the promise of physical salvation of the woman “if they [husband and wife] continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.” This is a wonderful promise to husbands and wives at the birth of their child. God honors those who honor Him. “Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, . . . Them that honor Me I will honor, and they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed” (1 Samuel 2:30).
