What was the remedy God gave right after the curse fell?

Right after the curse fell, God provided a remedy by giving a promise recorded in Genesis 3:15. As soon as Adam sinned and the curse came upon all creation, God immediately came back with this remedy—a promise that stands as the answer to the fall.

Les explains that the moment Adam sinned, the curse fell upon everything—inanimate, animate, the birds, the fish. This curse is why we have great desert areas like the Sahara; it's not how God created things. But as soon as the curse fell, God came back with a remedy: a promise in Genesis 3:15. Les takes us back to Genesis 3, where Eve and Adam partook, identifying this as the vortex of the human problem. God's remedy was the promise He made right there, and creation itself looks forward to deliverance from the curse, as the passage says creation was subjected to vanity in hope.

Genesis 3:15

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
