What is the promise of redemption mentioned in Genesis 3?

In Genesis 3:15, often referred to as the 'protoevangelium' or the first gospel, God promises enmity between the serpent and the woman, and between their offspring. This verse foreshadows the coming of a Redeemer, who would ultimately defeat Satan. The text states, 'I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.' This is a clear indication of Christ's victory over sin and death through His finished work on the cross. It reassures believers that despite the fall, God has a plan for redemption that would culminate in the person of Jesus Christ.
