What does the enmity in Genesis 3:15 signify?

Answered in 1 source

The enmity in Genesis 3:15 signifies the ongoing conflict between good and evil, and it foreshadows Christ's victory over Satan.

Genesis 3:15 presents what is often referred to as the protoevangelium, or the first gospel, indicating God's promise of redemption. The enmity between the serpent and the woman, and between their offspring, points to the cosmic battle between sin and righteousness. This verse highlights that while Satan may strike at humanity, the ultimate victory belongs to Christ, who bruises the serpent's head. This promise becomes pivotal in Reformed theology, solidifying the belief in God's sovereign plan for salvation through Jesus.
