1. God cursed the serpent (14-15).God cursed the serpent. He punished him by destroying his pride (14); Satan would be at war with mankind, but in the end, he would lose. God planted the hope and assurance of victory in man's heart. The offspring of the woman would someday crush Satan's head. Jesus, the offspring of the woman, did this (Gal 4:4). He was sorely wounded, but he won the victory by his death and resurrection.

2. The woman's punishment (16).God's blessing became a curse. A woman's greatest joy became her greatest pain; furthermore, she became a captive to her own desire for her husband, and instead of being a willing and joyful helper and friend to her husband, she became his slave. Only Jesus can set women free from the curse of slavery to desire for men, and enable her to serve God in freedom and joy.Prayer: Father, I was born under the curse of sin, but I thank you for Jesus, who sets me free and gives me hope and makes me fruitful.
