What does the Bible say about Genesis 3:15?

Answered in 1 source

Genesis 3:15 contains God's first promise of victory over Satan through the Seed of the Woman.

Genesis 3:15, often called the 'Protoevangelium,' presents a profound promise from God, declaring enmity between the serpent and the woman, and proclaiming that the Seed of the Woman will bruise the head of the serpent. This marks the initial announcement of the Gospel, indicating God's redemptive plan for humanity and signaling the eventual defeat of Satan through Jesus Christ. John Gill notes both literal and mystical interpretations, emphasizing that while these words directly address the serpent, they also predict the ultimate victory of Christ over sin and death.
