What Does this mean for me? Satisfied

God’s Promises what do they mean for me?

Last week we looked at sin entering the world along with death that followed

God spoke something to Adam and Eve that is important

Genesis 3:15 CSB

I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.

Gensis 3:15

God makes a promise of one who is going to come and He would crush satan and his work

But He too would suffer a blow in the fight

He would pay a price to save and redeem

Isaiah 53:4–6 CSB

Yet he himself bore our sicknesses, and he carried our pains; but we in turn regarded him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced because of our rebellion, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on him, and we are healed by his wounds. We all went astray like sheep; we all have turned to our own way; and the Lord has punished him for the iniquity of us all.

Jesus took our place

Because God said one was going to come who would crush the Head of the serpent

God’s promises are true

- God makes a Covenant with Abraham

they divide the animals in have

they are both supposed to pass through saying “Who ever breaks this covenant will be like these animals.”

Serious stuff!

But God passes through along!

God knew that Abraham was going to make mistakes

that he would fail and fall

and God’s knows that of us too

That is the beauty of Grace-

It makes Life Not Fair!

What I deserve I don’t get

Romans 6:23 CSB

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Christ took our spot

He paid our price

Romans 5:20 CSB

The law came along to multiply the trespass. But where sin multiplied, grace multiplied even more

The law was there to show we need a savior

Jesus comes to fulfill God’s promise way back when sin entered the world

John 6:32-

John 6:32–35 CSB

Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, Moses didn’t give you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” Then they said, “Sir, give us this bread always.” “I am the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “No one who comes to me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in me will ever be thirsty again.

To believe- Total dependence on the work of another

for us it is complete reliance upon Jesus
