The barrenness of Sarah, Rebekah, and Rachel (the mothers of the Israelite nation) is significant in that their ability to finally bear children was a sign of the grace and favor of God. However, infertile couples must not assume that God is withholding His grace and favor, nor should they assume they are being punished in some way. Christian couples must cling to the knowledge that their sins are forgiven in Christ and that the inability to have children is not a punishment from God.
Utasa wa Sara, Rebeka, na Raheli (wamama wa taifa la Israeli) ni wa umuhimu kuwa na uwezo hatimaye wa kuzaa watoto ilikuwa ni ishara ya neema na kibali cha Mungu. Hata hivyo, wanandoa tasa wasidhani kwamba Mungu anazuia neema yake na kibali, wala wao kudhani kuwa wanaadhibiwa kwa namna fulani. Wanandoa Wakristo lazima wayashike maarifa kwamba dhambi zao zimesamehewa katika Kristo na kwamba kukosa uwezo wa kuwa na watoto si adhabu kutoka kwa Mungu.
