He will crush your head and you will strike his heel. Genesis 3:15

Today's Scripture Genesis 3:8-15

Today's Insights When Adam and Eve sinned, the consequences were both immediate and future. Immediately, they lost access to the garden and the presence of the Creator (Genesis 3:23-24), and eventually, they’d physically die. In between, the life that they’d enjoyed in a paradise created specifically for them would now be tainted with pain, loss, frustration, and failure (vv. 16-19). This is what makes Jesus’ death and resurrection so vital. Only by what Christ did on our behalf can we be rescued and restored to the heavenly Father and have a hope of life after death (Romans 8:1-4). Life continues to be difficult in this world that’s been broken by sin. But when we cry out to Jesus, He’ll rescue us. And one day, God “will wipe every tear from [our] eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain” (Revelation 21:4).

Today's Devotion When a father learned his five-year-old daughter had fallen overboard from the fourth deck of the cruise ship they were on, he plunged into the ocean forty feet below to rescue her. He held on to his daughter while treading water for more than ten minutes before the ship’s rescue team brought them safely back on board. As soon as the father heard his daughter was in trouble, he risked everything to save her.

All throughout the Bible, we read how our heavenly Father’s love compelled Him to give His all to rescue us from drowning in our sin. God first declared His divine rescue plan in the garden of Eden. After Adam and Eve were tempted by the serpent and sinned, God cursed the serpent and said, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel” (Genesis 3:15). This verse refers to the spiritual battle between Satan and God’s children and how at His appointed time God would send His Son, Jesus, to redeem the world through His Son’s sacrificial death and resurrection.

God has been ready to save us long before we realized we needed His help. Whenever we feel like we’re sinking in an ocean of sin, we can be encouraged that Jesus is our divine lifeline. We can cry out to Him. He will rescue and restore us.

Reflect & Pray

When have you experienced God’s forgiveness? How does it feel knowing He loves you?

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving and rescuing me.

“他要伤你的头，你要伤他的脚跟。”（创世记 3:15）

今日经文：创世记 3章8-15 节

今日洞见：亚当和夏娃犯罪的后果是即刻而至的，也是影响长远的。他们犯罪的即时后果是立刻失去了进入伊甸园和亲近造物主的资格（创世记 3:23-24），长远的后果是始终难逃肉身的死亡。他们原本在上帝专为他们所造的乐园中享受美好的生活，如今他们的生活中却充满了痛苦、丧失、挫折与失败（16-19节）。正因如此，耶稣的死与复活才显得至关重要。唯有借着基督为我们代赎并以复活的大能战胜罪和死，我们才能从罪恶和死亡中得救赎，与天父和好，并拥有永生的盼望（罗马书 8:1-4）。

尽管在这个因罪恶而破碎的世界里，生活依然充满艰难和争战，但是只要我们转向耶稣，寻求他的拯救，祂必使我们得胜。终有一天，神“要擦去[我们]一切的眼泪；不再有死亡，也不再有悲哀、哭号、疼痛”（启示录 21:4）。

今日灵修：一位父亲得知自己五岁的女儿从游轮的四层甲板上跌落海中后，毅然跳入四十英尺（约12米）深的海水中去营救她。他在水中奋力托举女儿，坚持了十多分钟，直到游轮的救援队将他们安全救回船上。这位父亲一听到女儿遇险，便奋不顾身地去拯救她。

纵观整本圣经，我们看到天父因着爱甘愿付出一切，将我们从罪恶的深渊中拯救出来。神早在伊甸园中就宣告了祂神圣的拯救计划。当亚当和夏娃受蛇引诱而犯罪后，神咒诅了那蛇，并说道：“我又要叫你和女人彼此为仇；你的后裔和女人的后裔也彼此为仇。女人的后裔要伤你的头，你要伤他的脚跟”（创世记 3:15）。这节经文讲述了撒但与神儿女之间的属灵争战，以及神如何在既定的时刻差遣祂的儿子耶稣，通过祂的牺牲、死亡与复活来救赎世人。早在我们意识到自己需要神的帮助之前，神就已经准备好要拯救我们了。每当我们觉得自己仿佛正沉没在罪恶的汪洋之中时，都可以从中得着鼓舞：耶稣就是我们神圣的生命线。我们可以向祂呼求，祂必会拯救并复兴我们。

反思与祷告你曾在何时经历过上帝的宽恕？知道上帝深爱着你，会使你有何感受？天父，感谢祢爱我，并且救赎了我。
