Anchor 1

Anchor 1 by ric gustafson


Genesis 3:14- ' Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals, you will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life'.


Snakes strike fear in some people even though they are often docile. Before the curse, they were considered beautiful. God had to deal with man's fall from innocence. Because of Adam's sin, a great cost would have to be paid to restore mankind and rescue his people from the punishment of death.
In verse 15, God makes his first promise to send a Savior to buy back those who fell for Satan's lies.
Next time we see a snake, we can think to ourselves that God defeated Satan and has provided a new life for us. We have an anchor in our lives. That anchor is Jesus, God's Son, who died on a cross so that all who believe will be in heaven forever with him and his father.
