The Anatomy of Sin and the Mercy of God

Just as God promised in Genesis 3:15, the serpent crushing Seed of the woman has finally come to redeem and restore His people. The birth of Jesus is the beginning of God's promises being fulfilled, for by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus He will save his people from the condemnation their sin placed them under. This Seed will crush His enemies under His feet as He leads sin's captives into the Father's holy presence.

Though all was created good, the serpent sought to reverse Yahweh's ordered creation by questioning His word and deceiving the woman. In this one act of the serpent's, the woman and Adam disobeyed Yahweh's command and all of creation fell into sin. Through the serpent's crafty words, the woman and Adam realized they were naked and became ashamed, seeking to cover up that which only Yahweh himself can atone.
