Again, we see that God spoke; this time to man in the garden, and what He says is terrible and wonderful at the same time. Terrible, for man must now face the consequences of his actions, and the price for his sin must be paid.
Wonderful, because even as sin entered into the world, God already promised a Savior. Verse 15 is known by many as the "protoevangelion", also known as the first gospel. There is a promise of the Redeemer, the seed of the woman. This is the prophecy of Christ, who would bruise the head of the serpent. Over 4,000 years before He came and died on the cross, God knew what He was doing to save mankind.
What wondrous love is this, that even before time began, God was working to save man!
