Genesis 3:14–15; Romans 16:20; Galatians 4:4–5; Revelation 12:11
God judged the serpent, declaring enmity between his seed and the woman’s Seed. The Seed of the woman would bruise the serpent’s head, though the serpent would bruise His heel. This is the first gospel, the protoevangelium—the promise of Christ’s victory over Satan.
At the cross, Christ’s heel was bruised, but He crushed the serpent’s head, defeating Satan (Colossians 2:15). Romans 16:20 assures that the God of peace will crush Satan under our feet.
Galatians 4:4–5 shows that God sent His Son to redeem us. Revelation 12:11 declares that believers overcome by the blood of the Lamb.
