We see in Genesis 3 where the enemy of God and of the WORD makes his first assault on the human race. Our father Adam and our mother Eve did not do so well in that battle and it cost us huge. One warrior, Eve, engaged in the battle, while Adam, the other warrior stood by and did nothing. God gave the life-saving WORD to Adam and Adam did give it to Eve. The enemy of God and the WORD showed up and he twisted everything that the WORD is. Then he instilled in Adam and Eve his spirit of fear. God would later by His Holy Spirit have His servant Paul to write:
God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. I Tim 1:7
Jesus, the Son of God, would demonstrate God’s power over the prince of darkness and his army, the love of the Father for humanity, and the soundness of mind of the Holy Spirit.
God Himself entered the battle that the serpent or satan started in Paradise. God knew that this enemy would wage a war against His children for a very long time. But, God does not leave His children helpless and without hope against such an enemy. Let’s see what the Father’s promise is to the human race against the prince of darkness.
