Week 5 Notes
One of the consequences of the Fall is that mankind is cast out of the garden of Eden. In one sense, you could say that they were "exiled". The same is true with the nation of Israel in the Garden of Canaan.
Mankind as a whole has been separated from fellowship with God because of sin. Therefore man is in need of redemption and reconciliation in order that he might enjoy the abundant life for which he was created.
The promise of redemption is first seen in Genesis 3:15. In this verse, we find that there will be two lines throughout history: the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. These two lines will have conflict between one another. Yet the seed of the woman will eventually "crush" the serpent. Since the Fall, Satan has been trying to kill the child of promise. It looks as if the seed of the serpent is going to have victory through the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. But in a great turn of events, although he was dead and buried, on the third day he rose again from the dead to show his victory over death and Satan himself.
