Biblical Answer

Will I Ever Be Able to Have Children?

As an evangelical Christian, we believe that God created us in His image and that children are a blessing from Him (Psalm 127:3). The Bible teaches that marriage is a union between a man and a woman, and that its purpose is to reflect the relationship between Christ and His church (Ephesians 5:31-32). One of the primary purposes of marriage is to bear children and raise them in the knowledge and fear of the Lord (Genesis 1:28). However, we also acknowledge that not everyone is able to have children, either due to biological reasons or other circumstances.

In such cases, it is essential to recognize that God's sovereignty is not limited by our circumstances. He can work through any situation, and His plan for our lives is not defined by our ability to have children. As the Bible says, "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). This verse reminds us that God's plan for our lives is greater than our own desires or circumstances. Even if we are unable to have children, we can still fulfill our purpose as believers and live a life that honors God.

Ultimately, whether or not we are able to have children is not the most important question. What matters most is our relationship with God and our obedience to His will. As the Bible says, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres" (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). If we focus on living a life that reflects these qualities, we will be fulfilling our purpose as believers, regardless of whether or not we are able to have children.
