START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
I WILL GREATLY INCREASE YOUR PAINS / GENESIS 3:16-19
The punishment placed on man and woman as well as sin’s effect on nature, were meant to remind people of the terrible costs resulting from sin and cause them to trust, obey and rely on God. The consequences God declared on humans were meant to lead them back to dependence on God.
- Eve’s attempt to be independent from God and her husband would be turned in the opposite direction in an even stronger desire to please her husband. This desire and dependence would bring a mix of suffering and joy, trouble and blessing (Genesis 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 11:7-9; Ephesians 5:22-25; 1 Timothy 2:11-14).
Because of God’s curse on nature, Adam and Eve would experience physical hardships and struggles. Eventually, physical death would come to them and all their offspring.
