[size=x-large]The Gospel in the Old Testament[/size]
When is the first promise of salvation given, and what does it mean? Gen. 3:15.
Genesis 3:15
15 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.
The language here is striking. Adam and Eve have sinned. Now the great controversy is announced to them through the strong language of 'enmity' between two opposing sides. This is a precious promise for human hearts now attracted to sin. We are also assured that this major conflict will not be eternal, for the head of the enemy will one day be crushed. In these verses, not only is the great controversy first revealed, but we also are told how it is going to end.
Paul took courage from Genesis 3:15. How does he express it in Romans 16:20? What point is he making?
Romans 16:20
20 And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
In Genesis 22:1-19, Moses also narrates an amazingly graphic atonement picture. What can we learn about the future atonement of Christ from this narrative?
Genesis 22:1-19 Abraham
