FRUITFULNESS

This is the first commandment to God’s creatures. It is His purpose for His creation and pleases Him above all else. A sterile relationship is anathema to God and may be a great sorrow for man.

Now it comes by blood, sweat and tears. The land must be cultivated with great effort. Women labour to give birth.

God has His reasons for this. The harvest is gathered with great joy.The intense pain of childbirth leads to greater bonding. Man in his rebellion and foolishess seeks to evade this at any cost but always pays a price.
