15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. - Genesis 3:15.

The seed (Christ), or seeds as it were in text, needs a longer look at than you can give in a couple of bible studies. So a devoted time will need to be given to understand what it is that makes God who he is, and what it is human beings are..by nature. The nature in them. The seed, because in the seed is where you find spirit-life-nature. All meaning the same thing, brought on by a seed. In the case of a born again Christian, it is the God nature, or Christ in you nature. The nature of God is in Christ!

Why, or how was Jesus sinless; by his nature. If you have no sin nature, or corruptible nature you cannot sin, 1 John 3:8-9.

That is sin in the spirit. You cannot sin by nature. Sin will not come by spirit now for those that have the new seed..Christ in you nature.

In sinners; it comes direct from their nature, sinners have a sinning nature (by the seed) that scripture calls the old man (Adam). The only thing that could happen to sin in Adam was to be killed (destroyed) to eradicate the sin nature (seed), Romans 7:1-5. And that is what the cross did. So Paul would say reckon yourself dead in Christ. Furthermore; he said Know!

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. - Romans 6:6-11.
