A Promise of a Savior

Of all of God’s promises, perhaps none is more wonderful than the promise of a savior for His people. John 3:16 says “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (NIV)

Let’s examine today the pages of God’s word which give to us the sweet promises of a savior.

I. THE FIRST PROMISE OF A SAVIOR, Genesis 3:15

(Read the first 15 verses and discuss the fall of man and sin)

15 And I will put enmity

between you and the woman,

and between your offspring and hers;

he will crush your head,

and you will strike his heel." (NIV)
