Sin’s Consequences for the Woman, Part 1 (Genesis 3:16)

Even though Genesis 3:16 occurs within a structure where the first gospel promise, the crushing of the devil’s head, is the focus, there are still consequences for sin for both the woman and the man. These consequences are meant to help us associate sin with pain—the opposite of that with which Satan wants us to associate sin.
