A Moment with Joni Eareckson Tada

In the Beginning

Episode Summary

Tune in to hear the remedy for sin.

Episode Transcription

Hi! I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And isn’t the book of Genesis fascinating? In it, we go from the creation of light to the birds, the sea, the beasts of the land, to a pair of humans made in the image of God. Genesis is all about origins; yes, even the origin of our sin. Yet aren’t you glad that from the beginning, God provides a marvelous remedy? In the third chapter, God says to Satan, “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” Now true, at the cross, Satan may have “bit Jesus’s heel,” but Jesus used that same cross, as it were, to crush Satan’s head, dealing a deathblow to our adversary. And therein lies the remedy for our sin. So, take up your cross today; and know that as you die to sin, it’s one more nail in Satan’s coffin. Praise God, we are free from the power of sin, and one day, will be free from its presence!
