9. Who would bruise the serpent’s head and offer hope to mankind? Genesis 3:14-15.
NOTE: ‘Plain and specific prophecies had been given regarding the appearance of the Promised One. To Adam was given an assurance of the coming of the Redeemer. The sentence pronounced on Satan, “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” (Genesis 3:15), was to our first parents a promise of the redemption to be wrought out through Christ.’ Acts of the Apostles, page 222.
10. Because Christ would take upon Himself the death penalty that mankind had deserved, what was offered to all mankind? Isaiah 53:5; 2 Corinthians 5:15.
NOTE: ‘Under the mighty impulse of His love, [Christ] took our place in the universe, and invited the Ruler of all things to treat Him as a representative of the human family. He identified Himself with our interests, bared His breast for the stroke of death, took man’s guilt and its penalty, and offered on man’s behalf a complete sacrifice to God. By virtue of this atonement, He has power to offer to man perfect righteousness and full salvation. Whosoever shall believe on Him as a personal Saviour shall not perish, but have everlasting life.’ Review and Herald, April 18, 1893.
