• What were some of the horrible results of Adam's sin?
• How was God's love and grace also experienced at the same time?
• How has the enmity between the woman's and the serpent's seed worked out in history?
• Today?
• Who was the great deliverer promised, and how will He crush the serpent's head?
• What does this mean for you?
