Genesis 3:15 (NKJV) And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”
It didn’t take long for our ancestors to make a mess of God’s perfect creation. And God had to inform them of the consequences of their sin. But even in the middle of God’s tough words, we find these amazing roots of hope that reveal God’s solution for our deepest need.
Here we see that God was already setting in motion a plan to defeat the enemy (strike his head) even though it would involve the pain Jesus experienced on the cross (strike his heel).
Right from the start, God was telling us that the results of sin may be terrible, but they don’t have to be terminal. God has a redemptive plan for us all; a relationship made possible only through the price Jesus paid on the cross.
It doesn’t matter how much of a mess your life might be right now, how many bad choices you’ve made in the past, or what unfair circumstances have happened to you. God, the Creator of the universe, has a redemptive plan just for you!
Let the truth of God’s grace fill your heart with hope today!
