Why is Christ called the 'seed of the woman'?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is referred to as the 'seed of the woman' in Genesis 3:15, indicating His role in reversing the curse of sin through His redemptive work.

The title 'seed of the woman' originates from Genesis 3:15, where God promises enmity between the serpent and the woman, forecasting a savior who would ultimately defeat sin. This prophecy is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who, born of a virgin, embodies both humanity and divinity. He came to initiate restoration and reverse the consequences of the fall. His sacrificial death and subsequent resurrection usher in a new covenant, affirming His role as the redeemer and the means by which humanity is reconnect with God. This identification as 'the last Adam' reinforces Christ’s mission to redeem, making Him pivotal to the gospel narrative.
