When did God first promise a Redeemer after the fall?
Immediately after Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and fell, God promised a Redeemer. This first promise is recorded in Genesis 3:15. As soon as the fall plunged everything under the curse, God provided this promise of a Redeemer.
Les explains that in Genesis chapter 3, after Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and sinned against their God, God immediately promised a Redeemer. This promise is found in Genesis 3:15. Les connects this to the theme of redemption, noting that Christ is the Christ of redemption. He also references Romans chapter 8 and the redemption of creation, showing that God's redemptive plan began right after the fall.
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.
