In this promise to our first parents a gleam of hope penetrated the gloom that enveloped the minds of the sinful pair. Then, when a system of sacrifices was made known to them that demanded the life of an innocent victim (see Genesis 4:4), they could see more clearly the fact that the death of God's dear Son was necessary in order to atone for their sin and meet the claims of the broken law.
Pagkatapos, nang ang sistema ng paghahandog ay ipaalam sa kanila na ito y nangangailangan ng buhay ng isang handog na walang-sala (tingnan ang Genesis 4:4), kanilang nakita ng higit na maliwanag ang katotohanan na ang kamatayan ng minamahal na Anak ng Dios ay kinakailangan upang siyang magbayad para sa kanilang kasalanan at maabot ang hinihingi ng sinalangsang na Kautusan.
