Big Idea: Because of the first Christmas we have hope to overcome the effects of The Fall.
Genesis 3:15 (ESV)
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”
Five results of Jesus overcoming The Fall:
-
Accurate revelation of the Father (v. 1-3, cf. Genesis 2:16-17)
- John 14:9
- 3 responses to a moral dilemma:
- I never knew God said that
- Did God really say that?
- I know God said that but I am going to do it anyways
-
Ability to resist temptation (v. 4-6)
- Matthew 4:1-11
- James 4:7
-
Intimacy restored with the Father (v. 7-10)
- Hebrews 10:19-22
-
Guilt accepted / Pardon received (v. 11-13)
- 1 John 1:9
-
Death destroyed (v. 19)
- John 11:25-26
