The Essence of Redemption: From Eden to Triumph

This course takes you back to the very first gospel sermon, delivered by the Lord God Himself to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Right at the moment of human failure, God's mercy shone forth with a promise of salvation. Here, at the dawn of sin, in man's alliance with evil, the Lord declares perpetual conflict between humanity and Satan, predicting the coming of Christ and the devil's final defeat.

You will see how God foretold the Deliverer would be born of a woman, would suffer, yet His triumph would be certain. This powerful first announcement forms the perfect starting point for studying the passion of Christ and the comprehensive work of Christ.

We will explore:

• The Declared Conflict: How God’s declaration of war between the devil and man ("I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and hers") foils Satan’s plan for human rebellion.
• Satan's Subjection: Every attack by the devil displays his absolute subjection to Heaven’s command.
• The Basis of Victory: How God’s wise purpose in declaring unending conflict was to establish a basis of victory for humanity – to loathe the devil and all his ways.
• The Champion Sent: How "the seed of the woman," born in Bethlehem as Jesus of Nazareth, became the mighty ally leading humanity to triumph over sickness and sin, enduring temptation, persecution, and ultimately the agony of Gethsemane and the ignominy of the Cross.

Despite Satan's "frenzy of hatred and violence" aimed at preventing Christ's birth and mission, he ultimately failed. This course deeply examines this incredible triumph of Christ and the profound meaning of the crucifixion and resurrection.
