Saved in childbearing
Do women have different criteria for being saved?
1 Timothy 2:15
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
It seems that women are saved by faith and works.Note the following. Women are saved in childbearing, IF
1. they continue in faith
2. and charity
3. and holiness
4. with sobriety.
So, it seems there are four things added to faith for women. Childbearing, charity, holiness, and sobriety.
OR is there only one difference. Childbearing. Men can't have children. But if they want to be saved, they certainly must have faith AND charity and pursue holiness with sobriety. Otherwise, faith without charity is nothing. Scripture is clear:
1 Corinthians 13:2
And if I should have prophecy and should know all mysteries, and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
And also:
Galatians 5:6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by charity.
1 Thessalonians 1:3
Being mindful of the work of your faith, and labour, and charity, and of the enduring of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ before God and our Father:
1 Thessalonians 5:8
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, having on the breastplate offaith and charity, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
2 Peter 1:5-10
King James Version (KJV)
5And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
10Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
James 2:17
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Romans 2:13
(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Sincerely,
De Maria
