God is faithful



1:2 Which he promised before hand through his prophets in the HOLY SCRIPTURES.
God made a promise to Adam and Eve,"But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." Adam and Eve ate of this tree and earned God's promise of death. In God's mercy towards Adam and Eve he killed an animal instead of them and covered their nakedness and shame for disobeying God with the animal skin. This was a temporary covering of their shame, which all animal sacrifices of old were. Then God made another promise to Adam and Eve and the serpent," 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." God promised to send someone who was going to conquer this serpent of old, but it would be a painful victory. It is a picture of a conquering king, stepping down with a fatally crushing blow on his enemy's head while all the enemy can do is bite at this conquering kings foot as he is about to die. Every time God touches another heart to trust in this conquering king the faithfulness of God's promise is revisited as we watch the head of the enemy being crushed just that much more.
