Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
The Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all livestock
and above all beasts of the field;
on your belly you shall go,
and dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.
I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.” – Genesis 3:13-15 (ESV)
Jesus is important because he is the redeemer promised in Genesis 3. He is the Son of God, He is God in flesh, come to earth, fulfilling the prophecies given in the Old Testament. And He poured His blood out for the payment of sin.
There is no other path to heaven, there is no other path to God. It cannot be found in man-made religion or a substance that offers temporary joy. It is not found in our works or church attendance. It is not found in being a good person or having the biggest bible. It is only found in Jesus Christ. It is only found in His sacrifice. It is only found in Jesus Christ.
