Genesis 3:15
"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.”
Protoevangelium , that is what this portion is called by theologians. It is the very first mention of the gospel , good news to come in Christ when he crushes the serpents head. The serpent is Satan and the enimity is the person of Jesus Christ. To think of the mercy of God towards man should humble us. Adam and Eve had rebelled , sinned and deserved more than what they were given . Yes ,they were punished, but God in his mercy and love shows his eternal plan of redemption by giving them good news of the one to come and rescue depraved sinners for from sin,death and the Devil. Oh what love and grace given .
