Thy seed - her seed - the curse of the Fall

 At Fall of Adam God cursed the serpent for beguiling Eve and fracturing the perfect creation of humanity. Results from this curse fell upon all human conception since that very "original sin". Human conception, from that point on, was tainted from birth, born with a sinful nature and polluted with sin. Genesis described this very conception in the promise to the serpent as, "thy seed".

In contrast to the curse of the Fall where humanity was tainted with sin you also have "her seed" which indicates the biblical conception of the son of God in the prophetically fulfilled virgin birth. By nature all conception is formed from the seed of man "except" the only seed of a woman in existence, Christ, the Anointed One, and Savior and redeemer of humanity.

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.

In the conception of Christ you find the power to bruise, crush, and destroy the power of the Devil. In the crucifixion of Christ you see the suffering of a Savior where the heel of Christ was bruised, where He actually shed blood, and died only to reveal His supremacy and power over death. Such power from a promised, crucified, and risen Christ bruises the authority of the serpent and offers deliverance from the acts of sin and the very nature of sin inherited from Adam's curse of the Fall.

Power of the Gospel

The power of the Gospel is the only thing that can save and regenerate the soul of fallen man.

Romans 1:16...For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

What is the power? The Grace of God that brings salvation.

Titus 2:11-12...For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

Faith in Christ not based on what you see

2 Corinthians 5:7...For we walk by faith (in Christ), not by sight:

Faith wells up from within the broken human will. The ministry of the Holy Spirit convicts, breaks, and reveals the person of Christ. Faith comes into man's thinking after hearing the Word of God, primarily the essence of the cross and it's redemptive work. Revelation of the Gospel is heard. Forgiveness of sins that flows from Calvary is experienced. Faith hones in on results from the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ upon the believing soul. After exercising faith in Christ the Holy Spirit makes His abode. Not what you see, but a moral Salvation of the human soul that you experience from the person of Christ - through the power of the Gospel message.

Ephesians 1:13-14...In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance

Reality of Biblical truth within the believing soul

2 Peter 1:4…Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

When men get saved by the power of Christ the carnal nature is changed. The moral make-up is changed. Newness occurs within the human soul. New affections and new desires are formed within. Saving Grace regenerates. Greater is He.

1 John 4:4… Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

Reason?

Romans 10:10…For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Believing in Christ’s redemptive work on the cross brings forgiveness and regeneration to the heart and soul inwardly in the present tense. Outwardly, confession is made about what Christ did within. Believers testify Christ, His forgiveness, and power to make men new on the inside. Divine power and Divine nature overrules the inherited carnal nature and allows man to “partake” in the person and power of Christ that flows from Calvary and the Throneroom. Such divine operation is maintained by faith in the person of Christ in Salvation.

1 Peter 1:5… Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Faith in the power and person of Christ connects and keeps connected. Faith in Christ must be kept, continued in, held to, and kept in memory. Without faith in Christ it is impossible to please God.

The Blessing of such reality?

Hebrews 3:1… Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

By partaking in a divine nature in this present life believers become eligible to partake in the heavenly calling or Eternal Life beyond the grave. Such blessing and reward are the elements of Salvation from a present tense life of holiness and right living on this side given from the life in Christ. Partakers of the divine nature are automatically partakers of the heavenly call “if” they continue in the faith and keep Christ’s redemptive work in memory.
