Serpent's Crushing: God's Victory in Believers

BIBLE CONNECTIONS · SERPENT'S DOOM

Ready-To-Post Teaching

Paul closes Romans by telling the church that God will soon crush Satan under your feet. Most readers hear Genesis 3:15 behind it, and they are right.

But look at whose feet. The pronoun is plural. Paul is not describing something Jesus does alone - he is describing the church sharing in it. The crushing of the serpent is participatory.

One guard rail, because the sources put it there. This is not a promise of present power over the devil. It is eschatological, and it runs along a cross-shaped road. The victory is real, and it is not triumphalist.

Scripture links:

- Genesis 3:15 - enmity between the serpent's offspring and the woman's, and a crushed head.

- Romans 16:20 - the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.

The promise made in Eden was never only about one man. It reaches the people he gathers.
