A) Universalism is a LIE! Galatians 3:24-28 > 24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you, as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither slave nor free; there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
B) Saved in childbearing: Three meanings have been proposed: (1) This speaks of the godly woman finding fulfillment in her role as wife and mother, thus being “saved” from the evils besetting the Ephesian church (see 5:11–14); (2) it refers to women being saved spiritually through the most significant birth of all, the incarnation of Christ; or
(3) it refers to women being kept physically safe in childbirth, not in any absolute sense, but as an outgrowth of the Christian commitment to care for one another.
A possible forth? (4) Saved IF …they continue in the faith.
