MEMO:
Follow God's example, therefore, as beloved children and walk in the path of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. [Ephesians 5: 1-2 NIV]
According to divine plan of salvation, the Son of God was "destined before the foundation of the world" to become an offering for the sin and hope of mankind (1 Peter 1:19, 20). He was to return us to God and deliver us from sin by destroying the works of the devil (1 Peter 3:18; Matthew 1:21).
Sin separated Adam and Eve from the source of life and, therefore, had to lead to immediate death. But by the divine "advice of the world" (Zec. 6:13), even before the beginning of creation, it was determined that God the Son would stand between those who sinned and God's justice (see 1 Peter 1:20, 21), thus placing a bridge over the chasm formed and saving our ancestors from immediate death. Thus, the grace of Christ, even before his death on the cross, preserved the lives of sinners and assured them of salvation. But to fully restore us to the position of sons and daughters of God, He had to become a man.
Immediately after Adam and Eve sinned, God gave them hope, promising to put spiritual enmity between the snake and his wife, between his seed and his seed. In the mysterious words of verse 15 of the third chapter of Genesis, snakes and their descendants represent Satan and his followers, and the wife and her seed are the people of God and the Savior of the world. These words were the first guarantee that the struggle between good and evil will end with the victory of the Son of God.
The prophetic image of salvation. After the appearance of sin, God instructed to sacrifice animals in order to demonstrate the mission of the next Savior (see Genesis 4: 4). This symbolic system allowed us to understand how God the Son eradicates sin.
Because of the sin of violating God's Law, humanity has been subject to death (see Genesis 2:17; 3:19; 1 John 3: 4; Rom. 6:23). God's law required the life of a sinner. But God in his infinite love gave his Son, "so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). What incomprehensible condescension! God, the Eternal Son, taking our place, takes upon himself the punishment for our sin to give us forgiveness and reconciliation with God.
