Gen 3 part 2 Gospel is in the old
3 15
Genesis 3:15 ( NKJV )
Genesis 3:15 ( NKJV )
Between
you and the woman,
And
between your seed and her Seed;
He
shall bruise your head,
And
you shall bruise His heel
3:15
After cursing the physical serpent, God turned to the spiritual
serpent, the lying seducer, Satan, and cursed him. bruise
you on the head … bruise him on the heel.
This “first gospel” is prophetic of the struggle and its outcome
between “your seed” (Satan and unbelievers, who are called the
Devil’s children in Jn 8:44) and her seed (Christ, a descendant of
Eve, and those in Him), which began in the garden. In the midst of
the curse passage, a message of hope shone forth—the woman’s
offspring called “He” is Christ, who will one day defeat the
Serpent. Satan could only “bruise” Christ’s heel (cause Him to
suffer), while Christ will bruise Satan’s head (destroy him with a
fatal blow). Paul, in a passage strongly reminiscent of Ge 3,
encouraged the believers in Rome, “And the God of peace will soon
crush Satan under your feet” (Ro 16:20). Believers should recognize
that they participate in the crushing of Satan because, along with
their Savior and because of His finished work on the cross, they also
are of the woman’s seed. For more on the destruction of Satan, see
Heb 2:14, 15; Rev 20:10.1
Her Seed us
the Lord Jesus who is going to make the devil pay for this. In Gen 3
God clothes the sinners liked he does the Chiristians in rightous.
They are given the cure for sin. I got to say that Jesus is the
thing that fixed your sin. You give not one work or payment Jesus
paid it all. God does the work friends.
