Today’s topic is fairly easy.
We’ve had God’s requirement, the rebellion of Adam and Eve, and the ramifications that came from it. We’ve seen the need for repentance and today we see God’s answer.
I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her Offspring; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.
Genesis 3:15
It doesn’t end with judgment but with redemption.
All the way back in the garden of Eden God promised a Savior. A Redeemer. One who is going to remedy this colossal catastrophe. He promised an Offspring, a Descendant, His Chosen One who would be the Victor over our adversary, over our sin, over the fall.
There were judgments against Adam and Eve and indeed against all of Creation. But today we see His divine judgement against the Adversary; the one who tempted then and temps now; the one who rebelled before Adam and Eve; the one whose defeat God foretells in our Scripture today.
God would send a redeemer who would be descended from Adam and Eve, and He would defeat this Adversary. God wins. Through faith in this Redeemer – faith in Jesus – we win!
“Thank You, Lord, for loving us and the world so much that You sent a Redeemer to conquer sin, death, and the Devil, so that, through faith in Him, we too would have the victory and everlasting Life! In His name. Amen!”
