This is something the Lord had strongly impressed upon me a while back when I was meditating, and has done again today while I was meditating. It has been in harmony with what a dear brother, now passed away, used to tell me.
[sup]15[/sup] Nevertheless she [the woman] will be saved in childbearing [maternal duties] if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
Paul says this speaking to real women and men, but the Lord impressed on me that it is also a picture. The woman is the church, and the 'child' is Christ. In other words, the church is saved in birthing Christ.
My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you- (Gal. 4:19)
The church is saved by manifesting Yeshua; Christ, salvation (hence Yeshua).
As a wise brother of mine once said, 'the christian is saved by manifesting Christ'. So it is with the church.
Blessings to all!
