QUESTION: Does Genesis 3:15 refer to a conflict between Christ and Satan?
ANSWER: Yes! In this conflict, Satan was to bruise Christ’s heel, i.e., our sin, occasioned by the influence of Satan, would cause Christ to die for us that we might receive the atonement (Romans 5:8-11). Jesus was to bruise Satan’s head, i.e., “that He, through death, might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil” (Hebrews 2:14).
