Are Women Saved Through Childbearing?

A seemingly difficult passage to understand can be found in 1 Timothy 2:12-15:

12. But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness. 13. For Adam was first formed, then Eve; 14. and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression: 15. but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.

What was Paul talking about here? What does a woman bearing children have to do with a woman being saved? The Apostle Paul was talking about how sin entered into the world. He is referring his reader, Timothy, and those he was instructing, to Genesis 3. Verse 15 above has absolutely nothing to do with women having babies today. If it did, then Paul would be teaching salvation by works. Additionally, he would be teaching in contradiction to the Apostle Peter who said that God is not a respecter of persons, meaning that all people are subject to the same Gospel plan of salvation, in Acts 10:34.
Men cannot give birth. Therefore, to understand that this passage is teaching that women giving birth to babies today somehow saves them is completely off base. What Paul is referring to, once again, is Genesis 3:15:

"I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel."

Paul was referencing the very first prophecy uttered by God Himself in which He predicted that the Seed of woman, Jesus Christ, would be the defeat of Satan. And that is what is meant by Paul saying in verse 1 Timothy 2:15, "but she shall be saved through her childbearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety." It would be Eve's Seed that would save men, by crushing the head of the deceiving serpent. Paul was showing how Eve had been instrumental in bringing about the fall of mankind into sin, but he did not stop there. He further showed how indispensable she will be in the history of redemption of fallen mankind, due to the boundless love and grace of God. For from the fruit of her body will come the Messiah, Who will save both her and all of mankind. In fact, this is how every woman in particular is saved, for Paul switches to the plural in the last half of verse 15 and makes application to women in general. If this redemptive historical interpretation is correct, and I believe it is, then 1 Timothy chapter 2 has nothing to do with the essential mothering role of women in general. Neither does it apply to some universal prohibition against having women being leaders or "usurping authority" by taking on leadership roles in the "secular" world. Rather, this chapter assures us of the central place of "the woman" in God's redemptive plan and reminds us that women in general are saved from eternal death through faith in the promised Child, His blessed Son, Jesus Christ, if they persevere in holding onto their faith in Him unto death.

May the Lord bless you!
