Where does Scripture declare that Christ is the seed of the woman?
Galatians chapter 3 declares that Christ is the seed of the woman. Paul wrote this letter to Gentile believers who were being pressured by Judaizers to embrace Judaism, circumcision, and the Law. He shows that Christ redeemed us from the Law's curse so the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Him.
Les explains that the Scripture declares Christ as the seed of the woman in Galatians chapter 3. He notes that Galatians was written to Gentile believers who were being besieged by Judaizers, insisting they had to embrace Judaism, practice circumcision, and keep the Law. Paul writes to refute this, emphasizing that believers are not under Law but under Grace. In Galatians 3:13, Paul declares that Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us, for it is written, 'Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.' Les points out this goes back to Deuteronomy. The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ. Les connects this to Genesis 12, where God promised Abraham that through him all nations would be blessed, because the seed of the woman would come through Abraham. Thus Galatians 3 identifies Christ as that promised seed.
