Jesus from Genesis. The seed of the woman.

STUDYING JESUS FROM THE BIBLE. GEN – THE  SEED OF THE WOMAN   Tue 08 th  Oct  2013

The Lord Jesus Christ commanded his faithful followers of all generations to search the scriptures. Everything from Genesis to Revelation, the entire sixty-six books talks about him alone.  Jhn 5: 39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. The early church ware faithful in preaching and teaching of Jesus according to his commandment. ACTS 5;42, 8;5, 35. 

Acts  5:42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

Acts  8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.  8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

The bible in the book of Genesis  reveals Jesus Christ to us as the SEED OF THE WOMAN. GEN 3:15 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.

1.    THE RESULT OF ADAM’S LOSSES AND CONSEQUENCES.

God created Adam with blessings and dominion. GEN 1;27-28. 

Genesis  1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

He immediately gave him commandments of His dos and donts. GEN 2; 16-17.

Genesis  2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:  2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

He did same for you too. He brought you from the bondage

Of satan to take the yoke of Christ upon you.

Deuteronomy  6:23 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.

Matthew  11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

You can afford to live a lifestyle of unguided liberty.

Unfortunately, Adam yielded to sin through Eve his wife.

Genesis  3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

 When He yielded to sins, He lost all. GEN 3; 6. ADAM  and the entire human race after him, suffered unimaginable losses, because of disobedience

( . A ). LOST GOD’S IMAGE. GEN 3;6-7, EXD 32;25, EPH 4;24

Ephesians  4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

 (.B. )LOST GOD’S FELLOWSHIP. GEN 3; 8-10.

Genesis  3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.  3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?  3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

( C ) LOST GOD,S PROVISION. GEN 3;23-24.

Genesis  3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.  3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

  (D) ACCESS TO TREE OF LIFE. GEN 3; 22-23,  REV 2;7.

Genesis  3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:  3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

Revelation  2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

 ( E) LOST DOMINION OVER ALL CREATIONS.  GEN 1; 27-28.

Genesis  1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

 ( G)  BROUGHT SIN AND DEATH TO HUMAN RACE. ROM 5; 12-15, 

Romans  5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:  5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.  5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.  5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

(  G) LOST THE RULERSHIP OF THE  CREATURES IN THE WOELD TO SATAN. PSALM 8; 4-8, LK 4;6

Psalms  8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?  8:5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.  8:6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:  8:7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;  8:8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

Luke  4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

2.          . THE REPROOF OF ADAM AND LESSONS FOR CHRISTIANS.

   There are many things for Christians to learn from what befall Adam. Unfortunately, majority  of  so called church goers are still falling victim to the same mistake of Adam. 

( A) Sin separate Adam and God and will do same for sinners today here on earth and here after. ISA 59; 1-2..

Isaiah  59:1 Behold, the LORD’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:  59:2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

  ( B) SIN MADE THEM LOOSE GOD,S BLESSINGS  AND WILL HINDER RECEIVING GOD,S BLESSINGS. GEN 3,22-24, JER 5; 25.

Genesis  3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:  3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.  3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

Jeremiah  5:25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.

( C)  SIN RUIN THEIR LIVES AND MAKES THEM LOST FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD,  GEN 3; 8-10,  EZEKIEL 18; 30-32. 

Genesis  3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.  3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?  3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

Ezekiel  18:30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.  18:31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?  18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

IF SIN IS AS DEADLY AS THIS, WHAT THEN IS SIN?  1^ST COR 6: 9-10.

1 Corinthians  6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,  6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

3.    THE RESTORATION OF ADAM’S LOSSES Through  CHRIST,The good  news  is that all that were lost through Adam  have been recovered through Christ vicarious sacrifice .

Genesis  3:15 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.

 ROM 5:12-21, EPH 4:20-24, REV 2:7.

Romans  5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:  5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.  5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.  5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.  5:16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.  5:17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)  5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.  5:19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.  5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:  5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Ephesians  4:20 But ye have not so learned Christ;  4:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:  4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;  4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;  4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Revelation  2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

 However,  beneficiary of these recoveries  must come to him in genuine repentance,  having unwavering faith on His  finished work on the cross. JHN 6:37, HEB 7:25,  MAT 11:28

John  6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

Hebrews  7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Matthew  11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Are you saved? Is your name in the book of life? Are you sanctified? Where will you spend eternity? Are you prepared for the imminent rapture?

Jesus has paid the price for the total recovery of Adam’s losses.

Genesis  3:15 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.

Take advantage of it today. Tomorrow might be too late.

Let us pray.
