What Makes a Mother? A Biblical Breakdown
Motherhood.
The beauty of birthing. Life enters this dimension from the womb until exiting the tomb.
Yet, it all started with a curse.
"Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children;" — Genesis 3:16
When we as a society hear the word curse, we think of it as a bad thing. And in most cases, it is.
But not this time. This curse was a blessing not to oppress the man or woman but to contain the sinful impulses that now poisoned Adam and Eve. Further down in the scripture, it states that if Adam and Eve stayed in the garden in their sinful state, they could have eaten the fruit and lived forever!
"And the LORD God said, 'Behold, the man has become like one of Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), knowing [how to distinguish between] good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take from the tree of life as well, and eat [its fruit], and live [in this fallen, sinful condition] forever"'— Genesis 3:22, Amplified version
God took a disaster and re-created a new world until His return. If He hadn't contained the sin, then the order between man and woman would have been in complete chaos.
