✝️MARY: THE EVE WHO SHUT THE DEVIL OUT😳
________________________
Most Christians know Mary as the mother of Jesus.
Few truly understand her deeper identity:
She is the New Eve, the woman who said “yes” where the first Eve said “no.”
The woman who closed the door the serpent once opened.
Let’s break it down simply and clearly.
✝️1. THE FIRST EVE OPENED THE DOOR
In Genesis, God gave Adam and Eve every gift:
grace, harmony, innocence, friendship with God.
Then came the serpent.
He spoke, Eve listened, and through disobedience sin entered the world.
Eve’s “yes” to the serpent wounded humanity.
One woman’s choice opened the gate to death.
✝️2. GOD PROMISED ANOTHER WOMAN WOULD REVERSE IT
Right there, in the middle of the fall, God gave the first prophecy of salvation:
“I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your seed and her seed.”
(Genesis 3:15)
Notice:
God mentions a Woman
God creates enmity between her and the serpent
Her Child will crush the serpent’s head
This is not Eve, because Eve had already fallen.
This is a prophecy of a new woman, a new Eve, untouched by the serpent’s influence.
✝️3. THAT WOMAN IS MARY
When Gabriel appears, he does NOT greet Mary by her name.
He calls her something shocking:
“Full of grace.”
(Luke 1:28)
In Scripture, to be “full of grace” means no space for sin.
No serpent.
No darkness.
Total enmity.
Exactly what God promised in Genesis.
Mary is the only woman in history who stands in total opposition to Satan,
from the beginning of her existence.
✝️4. MARY’S “YES” SHUT THE DOOR EVE OPENED
Eve said:
“Let my will be done.”
Mary said:
“Let it be done to me according to your word.”
(Luke 1:38)
Eve obeyed the serpent.
Mary obeyed God.
Eve brought death.
Mary welcomed Life Himself.
Through one woman death entered;
through another woman Life entered.
Her obedience crushed the serpent’s strategy.
✝️5. WHY THE DEVIL FEARS MARY
The devil hates Mary for one reason:
He knows he lost through her.
The greatest humiliation of Satan is that
God used a humble young woman to defeat his pride.
When Christians honor Mary, we aren’t worshipping her.
We are recognizing the woman God Himself chose
to undo the work of the ancient serpent.
God bless you

Gospel of the Day (Matthew 18,1-5.10)
The disciples approached Jesus and said, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
He called a child over, placed it in their midst,
and said, "Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me.
See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.
